Battle Creek Newborn Photographer

The way they fit in your arms just so is perfection. Your little one will change so quickly in their first days and weeks. They will never be that tiny again, and it’s for that reason that moms often hire me as their Battle Creek, Michigan newborn photographer.

Whether you want images of your newborn baby to hang on the wall or an album that you can pull out for years to come, I know that you will appreciate looking back at these precious portraits for the rest of your life.

Close your eyes and imagine holding your newborn baby for the first time.

Your Portrait Experience

As your Battle Creek newborn photographer, when you book I will pencil in your due date, and we keep in touch leading up to the birth of your new baby.

Once he or she arrives, we set the date and time for the session itself. This is usually within the first two weeks, but for those that don't book in advance, I'm sometimes able to fit in an older newborn.

Say Hello

Congratulations on your new baby! I'm so excited for you. I want to hear all about what you have in mind for your newborn session.

Expecting moms will usually reach out in their second or early third trimester to ensure space on my calendar.

02.

Get it booked

Let's get your session booked so I can pencil in your due date. Then when baby is born, let me know ASAP so that we can set a firm date and time for your session. Otherwise, I'm going to be one more person reaching out to see if you've had that baby yet - and nobody wants that!

Newborn sessions start at $650, with $250 of the total due at time of booking.

Session Day

You don't have to worry about packing up baby - I'll come to you. I bring everything we need to create beautiful images. Sit back and relax while I do all the work.

I encourage parents to get into the photos. The family portion of the session is one of my favorites to include.

Gallery Delivery

It's up to you whether we go over your photos together in person or have a quick Zoom call to look at your photos and select your images.

Either way, I am here to walk you through the products I offer, and help you plan what to do with these photos now that you have them.

The Process

The Bird Family

Goodhew photography is my first choice for capturing memories. Rachel is kind, personable and professional. She has beautifully captured two of my pregnancies, and given me pictures to treasure for ages. I can’t wait to work with her again in the future.

Rachel (Goodhew Photography) does an amazing job capturing the personality of our family. She is so easy to work with and all the products have been just what I dreamed of.

The Johnson Family

Rachel did an awesome job on our family photos! I am always skeptical because my husband and I are so awkward but she made us feel really comfortable and we ended up laughing and getting so many great pictures! So thankful we got in with her this fall.

The Blackmer Family

Rachel does an amazing job with kids. She did a milestone picture of my daughter and they are hands down my favorite pictures of her.
