"We don’t do stiff poses or fake smiles. We capture life—in real life."
Bringing a new life into the world is magical. At BJ Thompson In Real Life Photography, I specialize in creating soft, timeless newborn portraits that celebrate your baby's first days. These moments pass in a blink — let’s capture them while they are still tiny, tender, and new.
✔️ Freeze time during your baby’s earliest days
✔️ Capture the sweet bond between baby and family
✔️ Preserve tiny fingers, sleepy smiles, and delicate details
✔️ Enjoy a safe, relaxed session designed around your baby's needs
✔️ Create heirloom-quality portraits to cherish forever
🍼 Relaxed + Baby-Led — Sessions flow naturally around feedings and naps
🏠 Studio or In-Home — Choose cozy in-home portraits or softly styled studio settings
🌿 Soft, Natural Lighting — Highlight your baby's gentle features
👨👩👧 Family + Siblings Welcome — Capture the whole family’s love and connection
🖼️ High-Quality Editing — Every detail polished for timeless results
Newborn portraits are best captured between 5 and 14 days after birth, when your baby is sleepiest and naturally curls into those adorable poses.
