What the Tabitha Maegan Experience is like:

Newborn sessions are relaxed and baby-led, following your baby’s needs and comfort. I’ll gently guide you as needed so you can feel at ease and present in front of the camera.

• Sessions take place in the comfort of your home where you are comfortable so there’s no need to pack bags or rush out the door. We will use the natural light and environmental elements in your home to tell the story of this season of life.

• I’ll focus on taking a variety of photos of you with your baby along with photos of just baby. We will plan 1-2 hours so there’s room for feeding, comforting, and breaks as your baby needs them, following the pace of your baby’s needs.

• Before your session you’ll receive a short family questionnaire so I can learn more about your family. You’ll also get simple guidance on what to wear, how to prepare your home, and how to be comfortable and ready before your session.

• Within 2-3 weeks of your session, you’ll receive a private online gallery to view, share, and download your full gallery, followed by your custom leather album delivered to your home.

If this approach feels like the right fit for your family, I’d love to connect and help plan your newborn session!

Meet Tabitha

I’m Tabitha, so nice to meet you! As a mom, I find myself constantly looking back at photos of my daughter and it brings me right back to that feeling of having a brand new baby. The snuggles, the bottles, the newborn toes, and most importantly, the moments. I treasure these photos of my daughter and of my family and I’m passionate about creating these photos for other families.

I don’t come in with high expectations for siblings or perfectly posed sleepy newborns. Instead, I use a lifestyle approach to focus on genuine connection, emotion, and the small details, resulting in images that feel natural and tell your family’s story honestly.

I want your session to feel easy and a chance to slow down and simply be together. When you receive your final gallery, my hope is that you feel the same sense of love and gratitude I feel every time I look back at those early photos of my own family.

What families are saying

“Tabitha is AMAZING!!!! I cannot recommend her highly enough. She did a newborn session with our family yesterday, and it was truly a dream experience from start to finish.
She photographed our newborn, our toddler, and even our dog — and somehow managed to get beautiful, natural shots of all three! Her patience, warmth, and gentle approach made everyone (including the dog!) feel comfortable and at ease.
Tabitha has a real gift for capturing genuine moments and the sweetest little details. The photos are absolutely stunning, and we will treasure them forever.
If you’re looking for someone incredibly talented, kind, and professional, Tabitha is the one. We feel so lucky to have found her!” -Talia O.

“Tabitha was awesome! She was patient with our pets and our (occasionally fussy) newborn. She captured this new chapter of life naturally and just as we’d hoped.” Sallie W.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age does my newborn have to be?
Because I’m a lifestyle family & newborn photographer, we can be more flexible when it comes to timing of scheduling the newborn session. I have photographed newborns right after birth up until about 2 months of age. So the answer is - whenever is a good time for you!

Do you use props?
I don’t bring anything to my newborn sessions other than my camera, lenses, and maybe a step ladder. No props! Your home environment makes the perfect backdrop. If you have a family heirloom or outfit you’d like to photograph your baby in, we can incorporate that into your session.

Do you include other family members?
Absolutely! With this being a lifestyle session, all family members are included. I usually try to take portraits of the baby alone and with each family member. Including pets!

Do you pose the baby?
I will direct you to place the baby in the best lighting and may wrap the baby in a swaddle but I don’t do much posing when it comes to my lifestyle sessions. Because I don’t use props, we won’t be putting baby in those adorable froggy poses or putting baby in a basket. Baby alone or in family’s arms are the perfect places for newborn babies at lifestyle sessions!

How far in advance should I book the session?
I recommend reaching out when you’re pregnant, as I only take on a few newborn sessions per month.
