Newborn Portrait Sessions

For families who value images filled with connection, spontaneity, and a bit of play.

Welcome

I'm Madeline, the photographer behind Mitzi and Rose. I'm deeply in love with family photography because this season of life, while filled with unending to-do lists and mental and physical juggling acts aplenty, is one of the most magical. I know young family days are fleeting and I view photography as a way to preserve that magic; of being sure you always remember.

I want to take a moment to commend you for taking the time to prioritize a photo session for your family. I truly believe your future self will thank you for seeing the value in intentionally documenting this time. I'm honored you're here and hope to answer any questions you have.

When I pick up my camera for our session, my goal is to create a space where play, openness, joy, and spontaneity can join us. In part, because the more fun you're having the more fun your images are, and partly because it’s my sincere hope that the family photo session ends up being a fond memory your family makes together.

Thank you for being here.

WHAT TO EXPECT

A session experience that’s a memory made.

I approach every single session with care and attention to the people I'm creating with and the environment we're in.

I’ll give guidance and direction, but also wholeheartedly embrace organic moments and candid imagery.

I lead with kindness and respect, and view this as a highly collaborative process that should feel fun!

I want your family to have fun, and to feel connected and comfortable.

Our natural light sessions take place during golden hour, the hour before sunset, at a location we choose together. Indoor sessions take place mid-morning in your home.

Before, during, and after our session you'll receive support every step of the way. From securing your session to delivery and ordering, I’m here to help craft your family session so it feels just right.

  • "I highly recommend Madeline from Mitzi and Rose as a photographer! She was incredible for our family photoshoot that included our in-laws -- there were a lot of challenges that she handled in stride and was incredibly patient, compassionate, and solutions-oriented. The photographs are stunning and we will treasure them forever. You will be happy you hired her!"

    — Katherine D.

  • “These photos are simply phenomenal. Madeline captured our family so beautifully, and I love the candid nature of the photos. Our daughter was so comfortable with her and that shows so clearly in the photos. We are so happy with every single photo and will be sure to recommend Mitzi and Rose to our family and friends. Thank you again.”

  • “We’ve trusted Madeline with our yearly family photos for the past two years, and the experience is consistently wonderful. Scheduling is a breeze, she’s incredible with our kids, and we received our proofs quickly. The images we chose were edited to perfection. Fast, beautiful, and exactly what we hoped for. Couldn’t recommend her more highly! Thank you Madeline for all that you do!”

    — Kristina H.

  • “Madeline brings warmth and enthusiasm to her photoshoots. She's able to capture natural, fun moments - and helps bring out the best in children. We've enjoyed working with her for multiple family sessions with our young children, and for my maternity photos. I would highly recommend her, Madeline produces beautiful work.”

Session Process

Book your Date

Your session date will depend on your due date. Since these are lifestyle and candid images, we can flexibly schedule your session from the first few weeks up to when your baby is 2-3 months old.

To reserve your date, a signed client agreement and non-refundable retainer of $200 must be completed. These secure your date and include pre-session planning and up to 90 minutes of session time.

This non-refundable retainer is separate from your collections purchase, detailed below.
No digital images or print credits are included in the non-refundable retainer.

Receive Your Images

After our session, you'll receive an invitation within seven (7) business days to view your proofing gallery.

Choose A Collection

Once you’ve had the opportunity to view your images, you choose the Session Collection that best suits your family.

Once your collection is selected and your invoice is completed, I will hand-edit each image. All collections include light retouching and personal use licensing.

Your final gallery will be delivered within 2-3 weeks of submitting your completed selections and completed invoice payment.

Your newborn photo session date is reserved after completion of a client agreement and payment of a non-refundable retainer, separate from your Collections purchase.

After your session you’ll receive a proofing gallery and choose which collection of your final photos you would like to purchase.
