Newborn Photography in St. Augustine
byLocated in St. Augustine, Florida, Ruth & Grace Co. Portrait Studio by Kayla Furman Photography offers newborn sessions in a cozy, fully stocked studio. The best time to book is while you're still pregnant, around your third trimester, so we can hold a flexible date for once your baby arrives. Most newborn sessions happen within the first couple weeks of life, though every baby and every family is different. As a mom of four, I've spent years handling newborns safely and with the utmost care, and that same care goes into every session. The studio stays warm, quiet, and unhurried, so you can relax and just enjoy your baby.
Why book a newborn session?
Babies change fast in those first few weeks. A studio session means you don't have to plan a thing: the wraps, the props, the lighting, all of it is ready before you walk in. The studio stays warm and quiet, and the whole session moves at your baby's pace. You just show up with your baby. (and if you have a favorite coffee order, just let me know ahead of time and I’ll have it waiting for you.)That's it.
