The Sweetest Beginning
Preserve the First Precious Days
Your baby will never be this small again. From their soft, curled fingers to the peaceful expression of a milk-drunk nap, the earliest days of life are filled with quiet beauty — and they pass all too quickly. My newborn sessions are designed to honor this fleeting chapter with care, sensitivity, and artistic intention.
What You Can Expect
A Calm, Baby-Led Experience
Newborn sessions are never rushed. I follow your baby’s rhythm, allowing for feeding, soothing, and natural pauses. Whether in your home or my studio, I create a relaxed, peaceful atmosphere where both you and your baby can feel safe and at ease.
Soft, Natural Imagery
Using gentle, natural light and thoughtful composition, I focus on capturing your baby’s delicate features and the emotional connection between you. Every image is crafted to reflect the warmth, tenderness, and authenticity of this extraordinary time.
In-Studio or In-Home Flexibility
Choose the setting that feels most comfortable for your family. In-home sessions offer the intimacy of your own space, while my studio provides a quiet, curated environment with soft props and lighting designed for newborn comfort.
The First Chapter Deserves to Be Remembered
This isn’t just photography — it’s storytelling for your family’s beginning. Let’s create something you’ll look back on for years with pride, emotion, and joy.

We did a maternity shoot for our first child and an announcement shoot for our second child with Gerard W Photography. We love how patient and caring Gerard is. I had very difficult pregnancies and was not feeling my best at the shoots but thats not noticeable since G really captures beautiful shots and moments. Gerard even captures those sweet moments that you’re not even thinking about as well. He also works w/ us on a plan and follows through for a seamless yet memorable occasion. My husband and I highly recommend him all the time and hire him anytime we need a photographer!

Gerard did a cousins photo shoot for my family, and he was super kind, thoughtful, patient, good humored and professional throughout the entire process. He even accepted the challenge when I requested that we do ridiculous old school Sears family portrait style poses. We had a really fun experience and we all really love the quality of the photos— and we are a picky bunch. Highly recommend!
Labeba
I highly recommend Gerard 100%. He showed up and showed out for my daughter’s sweet sixteen. Once I got the pictures we’re uploaded, my family and friends were in shock! High quality, breath taking pictures. Thank you soooo much Gerard 🙏🏽, for your beautiful work in capturing these special moments!
