HOUston NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER | TIMELESS, NATURAL BABY PORTRAITS
Welcome to Laura Alicia Photography - a Houston newborn photographer specializing in soft, natural portraits that capture the beauty of your baby’s first days. My calm studio environment ensures your newborn’s comfort and safety while creating timeless images that highlight every delicate detail. From gentle posing to classic styling, I craft heirloom-quality portraits your family will cherish for generations.

What to expect
Your newborn session takes place in my cozy Houston studio, designed with both baby and parents in mind. Each session is baby-led, allowing time for feedings, soothing, and natural transitions. The space is kept fully stocked with everything needed for your session — from wraps and blankets to carefully selected props in neutral tones. As a professional Houston newborn photographer, I’ve photographed hundreds of babies and understand how to safely and gently pose your little one while creating naturally beautiful portraits.
You’ll be guided through every step — from preparing your baby before the session to selecting your final images afterward. Whether you prefer classic, wrapped poses or lifestyle-inspired family portraits, my approach is always calm, patient, and baby-led. My goal is for you to feel relaxed and at ease, knowing your baby is in caring, experienced hands.
Reach out before baby arrives to secure your deposit, this guarantees my availability for your baby. I take on a limited amount of clients per month to ensure the best, customized experience. Newborn sessions are done M-F only in studio with babies under 2-3 weeks old. If you’re still expecting, check out my Houston maternity photography page to see the best belly to baby package!

When to book
The best time to schedule your Houston newborn session is during your second trimester, before your baby arrives. This ensures availability around your due date and gives you peace of mind knowing your spot is reserved.
Newborn sessions are typically photographed when your baby is between 7–21 days old, while they’re still sleepy and naturally curl into those sweet poses. However, every baby is different — and I always work at your baby’s pace to ensure a safe, relaxed experience.
If your baby has already arrived, don’t worry! As an experienced Houston newborn photographer, I occasionally have last-minute openings and would be happy to fit you in if possible. Check out the belly to baby package if you’re still needing maternity photos and would like to bundle both sessions!

Frequently Asked Questions
-
You can decide between 3 session types. A mini is just baby in swaddled poses. We’d do semi swaddled and fully swaddled poses.
A full session is just baby in all pose variations (in outfit, in props, naked, semi swaddled and swaddled)
A full session with family includes all pose variations of baby AND family photos (each parent, sibling(s), and entire family).

A $100 deposit is required to book any newborn session. I have three collections to choose from including mini wrapped, full session (just baby), full session with family. Collections begin at $450 for 10 digitals.
-
Of course! You can select a package that includes family photos. I’ll do several variations of your family, each parent with baby, and baby with any siblings. Before your session we will discuss coordinating outfits for family so that everyone looks their best! Mini sessions are for baby only, but you can always add on the family portion for $100.
-
Reach out while still pregnant and we’ll pencil you in with your due date. After baby arrives, you let me know asap and we get you a final session date/time before baby turns 3 weeks old.
-
Newborn sessions are typically done when baby is 7-21 days old. This is when newborns tend to sleep deeper allowing for the cute curled up poses. Though older babies can still be photographed, they might be swaddled for the majority of the time if they don’t permit for the same curled up and sleepy poses. Preemie babies are little different and allow a little more flexibility in the timeline.
-
I will have everything ready for baby including wraps, headbands, bonnets, tiny teddies and newborn outfits that are custom tailored for newborn photography. Outside outfits are not allowed during the session.
If you have a special item you’d like to include like a family heirloom or sentimental item, I’d be happy to incorporate it. Just let me know ahead of time to coordinate styling before your session.
-
Your session is completely customized to your preferences, so I’ll have everything ready for baby! Before your session, I’ll send over a session prep guide to help you in how best to pack and prepare baby for their session. Extra milk and a pacifier is always recommended.
-
Congrats! Pricing is the same for multiples. We will do a few shots with each baby individually along with together. Timing may take a little longer, but we always make sure to be safe and get some precious photos!
