When To Book Your Newborn Session
Successful newborn photoshoots require preparation and careful planning. I love to take care of it all for you, but timing is a big part of that. Here are some tips.
When to book
If possible, it’s best if we can schedule your newborn session before your baby’s birth to ensure a spot in my calendar. Please connect with me during your first or second trimester and I’ll pencil you in. Once your baby arrives, send me an email and we’ll confirm the date. If your newborn is already in your arms, don’t fret; it’s not too late. I may still be able to help you. Just call or email anytime using the contact page and we’ll get started.
Newborns are adorable at any age, but for those sleepy, curly images you’ll want photos done within the first 5-14 days of life. When babies get to be around two weeks old, they discover the joy of stretching out those arms and legs. Then the images we achieve together will look a little older, less curled and sleepy. That said, babies of all ages are welcome in the studio.
Where?
The majority of our newborn sessions take place in the studio at 42 Debora Drive in Grimsby.

Client Testimonial
“We had our maternity and new born sessions with Karen. She is a very professional, particular and talented photographer. We have everything prepared perfectly by her since the time we came in until we left. We are so happy with all the pictures turn out. They’re super natural, authentic and fun. Highly recommended.” - Nami Tran
Hey there mama, I'm Karen Byker. I live in my hometown of Grimsby, Ontario, Canada. I photograph through all the stages motherhood - pregnancy, newborn, toddler and children well into their teen years.
I am a mother of four that understands what it’s like to be busy, but I've learned how to embrace and enjoy the beauty of it.
I have helped hundreds of mamas to slow down and create artwork so they can remember these special times. Let's chat about documenting the beauty through your chaos.
