Fort Myers Newborn Photographer
Always Remember Them Little.
Always Remember Them Little.
your littlest love story.
Our babies grow like wildflowers in that first year, and in the beautiful blur of motherhood, it’s easy to forget just how tiny they once were. I’m here to preserve every little detail—the sleepy stretches, tiny toes, and perfect little features—so you can hold onto this season long after they’ve outgrown it.
Your baby doesn’t need to perform for their photos.
Sessions are slow, relaxed and completely baby-led, allowing plenty of time for feeding, snuggling, changing and settling.
With a minimalist approach and over 5 years of experience photographing newborns, I’ll gently document everything you’ll want to remember from their tiny toes and sleepy stretches to the way they fit perfectly in your arms.
Hi Mama, Im Hailey! Mama of three littles and the face behind Ella Rae Photography. I know firsthand just how quickly those first few weeks with a new baby seem to disappear. Somewhere between the sleepless nights, endless snuggles, and figuring out your new normal, they’re suddenly not quite so tiny anymore.
That’s a big part of why I love newborn photography so much. I’ve had the privilege of photographing hundreds of families over the years, and my approach has always been simple: follow baby’s lead, never rush the moment, and create photographs that feel like your family. My newborn sessions are calm, natural, and centered around all the little details and connections you’ll miss more than you realize someday.
Every family is different, and your newborn session should feel like yours. Whether you want the polished look of a studio without leaving home, the cozy and connected feel of a lifestyle session, or the simplicity of coming to me, you can choose the experience that feels most comfortable for your family.
Newborn sessions are booked during pregnancy based on your due date. Once your little one arrives, we’ll choose your official session date and go over all the little details so you feel completely prepared.
In-Home Studio – A Client Favorite
My studio comes to you! I bring everything needed to create the soft, timeless look of a traditional newborn session right in the comfort of your own home including wraps, blankets, posing pieces, and everything we need for baby. You get the polished studio look without having to pack up your brand-new baby and leave the house.
Lifestyle – In Your Home
For families who want their photos to feel a little more natural and lived-in, a lifestyle session documents this season exactly where it’s happening. Think snuggles in the nursery, baby curled up on your bed, tiny details, siblings loving on their newest family member, and all the beautiful little moments that make home feel like home.
On-Site Studio
Prefer to come to me? Your newborn session can also take place in my home studio, where all you need to do is bring your baby and I take care of the rest.
No matter which experience you choose, there is never a need to rush. We’ll stop for feedings, diaper changes, snuggles, or anything else your baby needs along the way. Your little one sets the pace and I simply follow their lead while capturing all the tiny details in between.
After your session, I’ll hand-edit your images and deliver a gallery within 2-4 weeks.
I know stepping in front of the camera just days after having a baby may be the last thing you feel ready for—but I promise, these are often the photographs that mean the most.
The way they fit against your chest. Their tiny hand wrapped around your finger. The way big brother or sister looks at them for the first time.
You don’t have to feel perfectly put together. You simply have to be there.
the smalled feet leave the biggest footprints in our hearts.
