There’s nothing quite like holding your baby and feeling the overwhelming love and awe of this tiny, perfect human. That’s why newborn photography is about more than just beautiful images—it’s about preserving the delicate details, soft features, and pure innocence of your baby before they grow and change. My peaceful Waxhaw studio is designed to help you relax and savor this once-in-a-lifetime stage, while I lovingly capture every moment you never want to forget.

From the moment this beautiful family of four entered my studio, I knew their Platinum Newborn Photography session would be truly special. With the arrival of their precious baby girl, we created a curated set of setups to highlight the moments that mattered most to them. A unique soccer-themed setup celebrated dad’s MLS career, while big brother, just five years old, proudly joined in, creating sweet sibling moments that will forever remind them of their early days as a family of four.
One of my favorite setups was the timeless “baby in parents' hands” portrait, symbolizing love, protection, and new beginnings. This powerful image is always a favorite for wall art and will undoubtedly have a special place in their home. Capturing these once-in-a-lifetime moments in my Charlotte studio was an honor, preserving the beauty of their growing family in timeless images they will treasure forever.

As a Charlotte newborn photographer, it was an absolute joy to welcome them back to my Waxhaw, NC studio for their Signature Newborn Session, where we had the honor of photographing their precious newborn girl.
The session was designed to capture every delicate detail of her early days. Wrapped in soft, textured fabrics and posed with care, she looked perfect in every setup. From sweet, sleepy poses to tiny fingers and toes, we created a stunning variety of images that highlight just how precious this stage of life truly is.

Big brothers, dressed in soft blue tones, beamed with pride as they cuddled their tiny sibling, while Mom and Dad shared tender moments, soaking in the beauty of their growing family. In addition to capturing these heartfelt connections, we focused on solo portraits of their newest little one—preserving every tiny detail, from delicate fingers to sleepy smiles.

This wonderful family of four brought so much warmth and joy to my studio for their Platinum Newborn Session. With the arrival of their precious baby, we created a series of setups that captured their deep connection and happiness during this special time. Since it was part of their Bump to Baby journey, it was especially meaningful to document their family's growth from maternity to newborn.
Big brother was glowing with pride as he cuddled his new sibling, creating heartwarming moments that will forever remind them of these early days together. One standout setup featured a rust-colored theme, inspired by a dress mom wore for her maternity photos. Of course, the classic shot of all four snuggled together is always a favorite for wall art, and I know it will hold a special place in their home. Capturing these fleeting moments was an honor, preserving memories they will cherish forever.

This sweet family’s journey into parenthood was filled with excitement and anticipation, and I was beyond thrilled to capture both their maternity and newborn moments. When they returned for their little one’s first studio session, I was honored to document this new chapter in their lives with a Bump to Baby package.
With dad being a college baseball coach, we incorporated a special baseball setup to honor the sport that's such a big part of their lives. We also added a few adorable puppy-themed stuffies that will fill his nursery, making the portraits even more personal. Wrapped in soft, textured fabrics and posed with care, he looked perfect in every setup. From tiny details like his long eyelashes and full lips to his peaceful, sleepy expressions, these portraits capture the beauty of this precious, fleeting stage of life. It was truly an honor to capture these first moments, preserving them in timeless images that his family will treasure forever.

In their beautiful Waxhaw home, this sweet family welcomed their first child—a precious baby boy—into the world. Their lifestyle newborn session was filled with love, warmth, and all the special details that made this new chapter uniquely theirs.
With their loyal pup by their side, we captured heartfelt moments of the family together, embracing the joy (and cuddles!) of this exciting new season. Their little one’s nursery, thoughtfully designed with love and intention, was a special request for the session, and we made sure to document every meaningful detail—from the cozy crib to the tiny, carefully chosen decor.
This session was more than just photos; it was a celebration of love, new beginnings, and the beautiful bond between parents, baby, and their first furry "sibling." These moments, captured in the warmth of their home, will forever tell the story of the start of their greatest adventure yet.

Absolutely wonderful experience! Tobi helped make me, my husband, and all of our kids extremely comfortable throughout the entire process. She has such a talent on staging newborns - my son was a tiny bit outside of the “window” she suggests but she was so patient with him and got incredible poses and images. I would highly recommend using her!
Sarah
I cannot say enough good things about Tobi and her methods to capturing the best photos. She's been doing our family pictures for 3 years now and I wish we would have found her sooner! Taking pictures can be so chaotic, especially now that we have a new addition, but she makes us feel SO comfortable (even my husband-which is saying something) and she is so good with kids. Love love love Tobi and her pictures always turn out amazing!
Lauren
We have used Tobi for our newborn pictures twice now and have loved working with her. She makes the process as simple and easy as possible and of course the most important part is that she gets great shots! She is very safety conscious with newborns and you really do just get to sit back and watch as she does all the work. We have recommended her to friends and will cherish these pictures for a lifetime!
Lindsay
Tobi was absolutely wonderful with my newborn during his 3.5 hour newborn photo session. I am so happy with the variety of set ups and poses she did during the session and can’t wait to see the final gallery. Not only was Tobi great with my newborn but she was so fun to chat with during the session. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients to make them feel safe and comfortable! Thank you Tobi!!!

The Charlotte Newborn Session Experience
There’s nothing more precious than your baby’s earliest days—tiny fingers, sleepy snuggles, and that all-consuming love. As a Charlotte newborn photographer with a peaceful Waxhaw studio, I create timeless images that preserve these fleeting moments forever.
Your newborn session is more than just photos—it’s a fully guided, stress-free experience. From the moment you book, I walk you through every detail: a personalized questionnaire, full styling with wraps, bonnets, and outfits, and a relaxing, baby-led approach. You don’t have to bring anything but baby and your usual diaper bag—I’ve got everything else covered for a stress-free session.
I take special care to include siblings, ease nerves, and avoid stiff posing or unflattering angles. Whether you choose a cozy in-studio session or prefer the comfort of your own home, every moment is captured with warmth and care.
I proudly serve families across greater Charlotte, Waxhaw, and surrounding areas—and I’d be honored to preserve this once-in-a-lifetime season for you.
scroll down and lets begin designing your session
Let’s start the conversation! I’d love to hear all about your journey—your due date, whether you're keeping the gender a surprise, and what you're loving most about this special time.
Reach out, and let’s chat about your vision for the session! Whether you're looking to capture just your baby or include family and siblings, we’ll create a session that feels just right for you. We’ll schedule your session around your due date and stay flexible, keeping a window open two weeks before and after to welcome your little one.
1. Say
hello!
The best time to book your newborn session is during your late second or third trimester to secure your ideal date! Once you’re booked, you’ll get a Welcome Email with everything you need to feel prepared and excited for your session.
I’ll send over a detailed Newborn Prep & Planning Guide and a Questionnaire to help us focus on the moments that matter most to you. You can share your favorite colors, themes, and any special details you’d love to include.
The guide covers everything—from outfit coordination and prepping siblings to what to bring for a studio session. And if you’re opting for a lifestyle session, I’ll take care of everything to create a relaxed, natural in-home experience. With these resources, we’ll design a newborn session that feels personal, meaningful, and completely you!
2. saving your spot and planning all the little details
Trust me - they will be here before you know it!
Once your baby arrives, we’ll officially schedule your session date. If you’ve booked a session focused on posed newborn images—such as little outfits or classic naked newborn poses—timing is key. These sessions are best conducted when babies are between 5-13 days old, as they are still naturally curled up, extra sleepy, and easiest to pose.
As your session approaches, be sure to re-reference the Newborn Prep & Planning Guide, which includes the Session Day Checklist to help you feel fully prepared. These early days are filled with love, wonder, and connection—I can’t wait to document this special time with your growing family.
3. Your Little One Is Here! Let’s Pick a Date & Get Ready
Your baby is finally here, and today is all about capturing these fleeting moments. As you watch me skillfully and gently work with your newborn, guiding them into sweet, natural poses, and wrapping them with expert care, you’ll have the chance to simply soak in the beauty of this stage. Whether it’s the way their tiny fingers curl, the soft breaths they take, or the tender interactions between siblings and family, this session is about preserving the magic of your baby’s first days.
Relax, be present, and enjoy these moments—you’ll cherish them forever. ❤️
4. Session Day – A Time to Slow Down & Soak It All in!
Within 3-5 business days of your session, you’ll receive an emailed Proof Gallery of lightly edited images, allowing you to select your favorites before I complete the final professional edits.
Your fully edited Final Gallery will be ready within 7-10 business days, bringing your baby’s first moments to life in a timeless way.
If you’ve ordered prints, albums, or custom artwork, these will be delivered within 30 days, ensuring you have beautiful keepsakes to cherish for a lifetime.

“Tobi is an absolute gem! Not only did she answer all of my questions prior to booking our newborn session both by email and over the phone, her communication and organization in planning the session were amazing. I loved having set questions to answer to give Tobi just enough info to create the perfect newborn photo setups that matched our colors and family. During our photo session, she made sure we were all comfortable with each of the poses and she managed to keep our daughter sleeping for the entire session which was impressive! Our photos turned out beautifully and I am so glad we found Tobi since moving here!”
C. Greyn
5-star rated newborn photographer on Google
“We booked the Platinum Newborn Session with Tobi, and once again, the experience was absolutely wonderful. From start to finish, working with Tobi is effortless she communicates clearly and promptly, answering any and all questions I had before, during, and after the shoot.
During the session, she was incredibly gentle and attentive with our baby, always making sure he was safe and comfortable while posing. Her knowledge and care really shine through, and she made the entire process feel calm and enjoyable. Tobi is also so personable she remembered details from our last newborn session with her 2.5 years ago, which made it feel like reconnecting with an old friend.
As for the images we’ve seen so far wow. They are timeless, beautiful, and truly exceeded my expectations. I will treasure these photos forever. Thank you, Tobi, for capturing such a special time in our lives so perfectly!
K. Knotts
“Loved working with Tobi!! She made the whole experience extremely comfortable and enjoyable.
She is truly a baby whisperer and I got a few tips that I’ll be sure to practice at home!”
L. Serran
“We have booked a maternity session, newborn session and a milestone session with Tobi and we absolutely adore working with her! She is prompt, professional and supplies gorgeous images! Tobi is personable and really helps to make photography sessions easy and comfortable for everyone involved! She delivers a full gallery and allows you to choose your personal favorites for editing! She really goes above and beyond to provide an excellent experience! We LOVE Tobi and highly recommend working with her! ❤️”
C. Rushing
“We had a photo shoot for our newborn with Tobi. When we arrived the room was ready and clean. The environment is set up so that babies feel as relaxed as possible, and there were also seats and snacks for us spectators. My husband and I enjoyed watching Tobi handle our baby to pose in front of her camera. She is very gentle, funny and professional at what she does. She told us about every move she made with our baby, so we felt totally confident in her at all times and we just relaxed and fell in love even more seeing the tenderness of our baby. If you still haven't decided, I would 100% recommend that you have your photo shoot with Tobi's Timeless Treasures.

questions and answers
Do you provide props, outfits, and wraps for the session?
What if my baby is fussy or won’t sleep during the session?
When should I schedule my Newborn session?
What should I bring to my session?
Do you retouch the images?
What if my baby arrives early or late?
When will I receive my images?
Can parents and siblings be included in the session?
Where areas do you serve? Where is your studio?
When should I schedule my Newborn session?
Newborn sessions are best conducted during the 6-13th day age range. Since it can be a big adjustment coming home with your new little love I recommend scheduling your session during your late second trimester. This guarantees you a spot in my calendar for when baby arrives and gives us time to plan you ideal session.
What if my baby arrives early or late?
No worries at all—babies rarely arrive right on schedule, and I build flexibility into my calendar for that reason. Once your baby is here, just reach out and we’ll pick a session date that works best.
For posed studio sessions, we’ll aim for when baby is 6–13 days old, while they’re still sleepy and curled up. For wrapped studio or lifestyle sessions, babies can be up to 31 days old—so there’s plenty of flexibility.
Do you retouch the images?
Yes, absolutely. Every final image you receive is carefully hand-edited with a soft, natural touch. I gently smooth out things like baby acne, flaky skin, or little scratches—while still keeping your baby looking like your baby. The goal is to enhance, not overly edit. I want your gallery to feel polished, timeless, and true to this sweet, fleeting season of life.
What if my baby is fussy or won’t sleep during the session?
Totally normal, and nothing to worry about. We aim to photograph babies in those early sleepy days, but if your little one is awake and content, that’s perfectly okay too. I follow baby’s lead, take breaks as needed, and use plenty of gentle tricks to help them settle. I’m a bit of a swaddle pro, and that usually does the trick to help them relax or doze off. Sessions are calm, baby-led, and never rushed.
Do you provide props, outfits, and wraps for the session?
Absolutely! I have a fully stocked Charlotte-area studio filled with newborn-sized props, wraps, outfits, headbands, and all the little extras to make your session beautiful and comfortable. You really only need to bring your baby and a diaper bag.
For lifestyle sessions, I always bring at least one fully newborn-sized setup, including wraps and accessories, so we can capture those gorgeous, wrapped baby-only images even in a relaxed, natural setting.
Can parents and siblings be included in the session?
Absolutely! I love including parents and siblings—it’s such an important part of the story. When you work with me, you get to customize your session so we focus on the images that matter most to you. Even my wrapped newborn sessions include a full family set if you choose, and lifestyle sessions are always all about capturing your family’s natural connection and love.
