Love notes from Lovely Clients
"My experience with Danielle was amazing from start to finish. She was so warm and welcoming with all of my children which made our session that much more comfortable. She was also very patient with our newborn and had super cute props available. Highly recommend!"

Newborn Packages
We do things a little different around here.
Have you ever gone for a one hour massage and spent the whole time thinking about how much time you have left? Now imagine having any timed service with a newborn baby and just hoping they will cooperate. Do you have sweaty hands, too?
At Danielle West Photography, we never want you to feel rushed, especially during a newborn photo session.
That's why all of our sessions include unlimited time, at no extra cost.
You decide where you want your session to take place (your home, our studio, outdoors), how long you want to take and how many outfits or poses you want. No extra fees. Ever.
Then, after your session, only pay for the photos you love. Buy a few or get them all - it's up to you. Print and digital collections start at $500
No high pressure sales tactics. Just beautiful moments and memories we know you'll love.
At Home Newborn Photography Sessions
Looking for a newborn photographer that comes to your home so you don't have to change out of your pjs? Hello, friend.
I provide newborn photography at your home that focuses on all the special details you want to capture: the rocker where you will spend countless hours, the tiny bassinet that they will grow out of so fast, the patch of living room light with the perfect morning light to soak up coffee and baby snuggles.
I am located in Sugar Land and travel to surrounding areas including parts of Houston, Katy, Richmond, Rosenberg, Pecan Grove, Fulshear, Fort Bend County, Sienna, Friendswood and Pearland. As a Canadian, I'm still getting used to Houston highways so if you are farther out, contact me to see if I travel to your area!
Come in sweatpants.
Leave with magic.
FAQs
When to book
Have you peed on a stick? Just kidding. I suggest you contact me 8-10 weeks before your due date so I can get you in my calendar and block out a tentative date as I take a limited number of sessions each month. I will then follow up with you a couple weeks before your due date to see how things are looking!
Newborn Safety
I take newborn safety seriously in all my sessions. I use a zoom lens that lets me stay close to baby and limit the use of direct or strong flash. You will also notice that I just don't do some of the more extreme poses that you see on Pinterest. Babies are small, delicate and bendy. But I'm not sure they need to be mini contortionists.
What Areas do you serve?
Providing studio newborn photography in New Territory, Sugar Land and in-home newborn photography to Sugar Land, Katy, Richmond, Missouri City, Pearland, Fort Bend County and surrounding Houston Suburbs. Not sure if we serve your area? Reach out and ask!
Can I be in the photos?
Yes! In fact, I'll probably gently insist, even if you aren't planning on it. Just trust me on this one. Over the next 18 years you will be taking planty of photos. Make sure to get in the frame, mama.
Do sessions include siblings?
Of course! I love sibling and baby photos. Just give me a heads up so we can make sure to plan our session with siblings in mind.
What should I wear?
For baby: I recommend having baby in a plain white onesie, if you have one handy. We will use some beautiful wraps and backdrops like you see in my gallery photos based on your preferences. I'm also happy to photograph baby in any special outfits you may have.
For mom: I recommend bringing several changes so you can get a variety of photos. Most of your photos with baby will be close up so the sillouette or how your clothing fit doesn't matter as much as it does during a normal photo session. Focus on solid colours or small patterns. But really, anything that fits will work; many of my moms wear their favorite maternity pieces!

My littles aren't quite so little any more. I can't wait to meet yours, borrow some soft snuggles, sniff their tiny head and feel all the fresh newborn feels with you!
(I'll probably also insist on making you read my favorite baby books, debate the best stroller options and swap childbirth, breastfeeding and sleep regression stories!)
