The Lulu Belle
Experience

Newborn sessions have my whole heart! There’s nothing more magical than preserving those tiny, perfect details because by the time you get your images back, your sweet baby will already have changed. Newborn photography lets you step back into these fleeting, precious days anytime you need to remember.

When you walk into my studio, you can fully relax. With 20 years of experience soothing and photographing newborns, I create a warm, tranquil space where your baby leads the way. I’ll handle every moment with care, prioritizing your little one’s comfort and safety above all else. Even if that means skipping poses or going completely with the flow. My sessions are family-focused, capturing the real, raw love that ties you all together.

This isn’t just about beautiful images (though you’ll have those too); it’s about walking away with a memory you’ll hold close forever. A memory of feeling seen, cared for, and deeply connected to the people you love most.

A calm and cozy experience rooted in love and connection

THE PROCESS

*There is a $100 non-refunable retainer due at booking to reserve your date
**Sessions take place in my beautiful downtown Canandaigua studio
*** Sessions take place on weekday mornings, weekends are not available
****Pricing is subject to change without notice. Secure this pricing by booking a session


The first step is to get on my schedule. Typically, we don't know when baby will make their big debut. So, we book your due date. I ask that you add me to your list of people to notify once your baby is earth side.  That's when we schedule your official session date. Yay!

A few weeks before your due date, I send you a questionnaire. You can tell me all about your nursery, colors you love, poses and set-ups you're really hoping to get, etc. 

It's session day!! Newborn sessions tend to last 1.5-2 hours. Once the session starts, your job is to grab a snack, kick back and enjoy the show. 

After our session, we'll cozy up and dive right into the magic we just created. If you're anything like me, instant gratification is key! Together, we'll handpick your favorites on the spot. Once you've made your selections, your polished gallery will land in your inbox within three weeks, each image meticulously edited to perfection.

Newborn sessions are designed to be relaxed, family-focused, and filled with natural, guided moments. I gently direct you while allowing space for organic connections, capturing the way you hold, soothe, and love on your baby in those first precious days. These sessions are all about storytelling, preserving the quiet in-between moments that mean the most. If you’d like to include traditional bean bag poses of just baby, you can add them to your session for $200.

Maternity sessions are a beautiful way to honor this incredible chapter of your life. Whether you’re pairing it with a newborn session or making it a standalone experience, I’ll guide you every step of the way, creating a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. We’ll work together to capture your strength, beauty, and the deep anticipation of the little one you’re about to welcome. It’s not just about the photos; it’s about telling your unique story. A story filled with love, connection, and the excitement of what's to come.

The first step is to get on my schedule. Maternity sessions are best done around 28-30 weeks. During this time the bump is really showin' and you should still have a good amount of energy left! I can help you plan outfits or if you're feeling daring, you can bare it all and wear some really fierce body jewelry. I also have some fabrics for drapery. Classic!

It's session day!! Yay! Maternity sessions last for up to one hour. Spouses and children are always welcome! I will hold your hand the entire time and promise to flatter you. I will guide and prompt you the whole way. 

After our session, we'll cozy up and dive right into the magic we just created. If you're anything like me, instant gratification is key! Together, we'll handpick your favorites on the spot. Once you've made your selections, your polished gallery will land in your inbox within three weeks, each image meticulously edited to perfection.

"Trish is simply the best. She captured our firstborn’s newborn and milestone photos and every single one came out beautiful. She is extremely professional and is very gentle and experienced with newborns. As first time parents we weren’t too sure about what to expect but Trish quickly eased our nerves and gave us tips which helped us prepare in the days before our session. She was the very first person we contacted when we found out we were expecting again to ensure we’d be able to have her capture even more beautiful photos for us and are very excited to work with her again." -Vera, recent client

Common FAQs

Q: How long have you been a photographer?

A: In 2002, I took a darkroom class in highschool! It was love at first click for me. I started photographing my twin baby sisters and it was at that time that I realized just how fast babies change. I felt the need to document all their little features. I then worked for a chain portrait studio in Greece, NY for several years until I finally worked up the courage to go off on my own. I opened Lulu Belle in 2013 have never looked back!

Q: What if baby won't sleep??

A: I always say, your baby is the boss that day. We can't make babies do anything. If your baby won't sleep, that's perfectly ok! We can still get amazing and beautiful images of your baby. 

Q: Are weekends or evenings available?

A: Weekends are reserved for family time. Evenings are unavailable as well. Have you ever heard of witching hour for newborns? They get cranky and less sleepy as the day goes on. It's for this reason that we do mornings only. 

Q: what do i bring?

A: Yourselves and a way to feed baby. I supply everything else! Hats, headbands, outfits, oh my! If there is an heirloom item you wish to incorporate, you may bring it. I ask that those items be limited to two. Outfits and gifted props can be very hard to work with and often deter me from my workflow and style, which is why you're here :)
