Meet Jess

Hi!! Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate you. I started my journey with newborn photography in 2018 when my firstborn son was 10 days old. I had no idea what I was doing but the art of newborn photography fascinated me. Fast forward to now and I have photographed over 100 newborns and still pinch myself that this is my career. Can't wait to hear from you!

Safety First:

You spend a lot of time researching the best and safest car seats, bottles etc. Why not put in the same effort when choosing a newborn photographer? We have the best safety training to ensure your little one is safe in our studio. We have taken a safety course and are up to date on First Aid training. You can verify our credentials here.

​All staff at Mountain Studio are fully vaccinated against COVID- 19, and up to date on all other vaccinations. We are happy to provide proof upon request.

​Our Values:

We deliver quality, timeless newborn portraiture with earthy, natural tones. We do not use tacky or distracting props, everything has a vintage/rustic feel and your baby is the focus.

Newborns are perfect on their own, but our studio comes fully stocked with beautiful handmade pieces from small businesses all over the world. In other words, working with us helps support other small businesses.

We want to celebrate your new babe and curate beautiful imagery of their first days of life. Never will they ever be this teeny again, and quality portraiture is the best way to remember this time.

​We also strive everyday to make the process of working with a professional photographer easy and stress free. Being a new parent is hard, getting photos of your babe shouldn't be! 

What To Expect:

When you arrive at our studio we will already have our props and backdrops set up to compliment the style guide you fill out in your booking form. Your session will be 1 hour long for a wrapped session and 2-3 hours long for a full session. As soon as baby is fed and ready to go, we will begin the session. We like to begin with parent/sibling/family shots if you’re planning on doing those. After we finish the family poses, you can relax in our client area for the remainder of the session. At this time, it’s best if someone can take older siblings home or to the park so they don’t get bored. Full newborn sessions include a wider variety of poses than a newborn wrapped session. We ask that you bring a pacifier to the session. Even if your baby does not take a pacifier, we strongly encourage you to bring one to help us with soothing and transitioning between poses.

Investment:

Hiring a newborn photographer  

The pricing for newborn sessions are broken down into two parts: the sitting fee and the products and digitals. This allows for the photographer to compensated for their time and for the client
to completely customize their package.

Studio & Session Booking:

All newborn sessions take place in my home studio located in Hamilton, Ontario. It is conveniently located behind Limeridge Mall on Thorner Drive. Sessions are booked weekdays starting at 10:00am. I pre-book newborn sessions based on due dates and the actual session is scheduled when your little one is born. I only accept a limited number of pre-bookings a month to guarantee you a spot in my calendar, so I recommend booking sometime during the second trimester. Because of the unpredictability of when babies are born, I sometimes have last minute openings for newborn sessions. I recommend having the session done when your baby is between 5 and 14 days old. This is typically when they sleep more deeply, and curl into those adorable newborn poses you see in my gallery. Older babies up to the age of 4 weeks can be accommodated if I have any openings in my schedule. Please inquire for availability.
