Teena Whitmore Portraits

New Orleans Newborn Photographer

The tiniest feet leave the
biggest footprints on our hearts

- Andrea C.

I was lucky to have found Teena for my first professional family photoshoot. I was scared about the complexity and expense of it all, but Teena took the time to go over all the details with me and we found a package that not only met my budget, but also exceeded my expectations as far as the wall pieces I wanted to have. She went above and beyond to learn about my colors and wall setup so that she could make recommendations. The photoshoot itself was so fun! She is an amazing artist! I have already booked my next session with her!

newborn FAQ

The short answer - YES!  Although my studio focuses on custom artwork and heirloom products, you receive a complimentary digital file of each photo that you choose to purchase. 

Do i get the digital files?

You order what is best for you and suits your lifestyle.  I always recommend pieces for the wall because you see them every day.  It's the best way to enjoy your photos.  Albums, print boxes, and digital files are also popular.

Your final cost depends on how many favorites you choose and what display options are best for you.  All newborn sessions are custom.  The booking fee is newborn sessions is $400, including hair and makeup for mom, and our collections begin at $950.

How much should I budget for photos?

I sure do!  Lots of families opt for a more relaxed-styled lifestyle session.  This sessions is more about celebrating the bond between family and baby and generally takes place in your own home.

Yes!  I have an entire room in my studio devoting to beautiful gowns, crowns, headpieces, and props.  You are welcome to choose anything in the client closet to use during your session.  There are a variety of sizes ranging from newborn to adult XS to 3X.

Do you have gowns I can use?

Newborn photos are best when baby is between 4-10 days old.  They are still sleepy at this stage and beautifully tiny.  You won't believe how fast they change in just a few weeks.  Booking for newborn sessions is generally 2-3 months in advance.

when's the best time for newborn photos?

Baby, of course, but also your family!  Mom, dad, partner, siblings, even pets are welcome.  I encourage you to bring anyone in your immediate family to be photographed with your new baby - it's a priceless experience that you will always treasure.
