Welcome to Five Pence Photography!
Since 2019, I’ve had the joy of photographing newborns and families in the Nashville area, but really, my journey began in 2015 when we were living in Europe… oh, the memories.
My goal is to make your in-home newborn session feel cozy, cuddly, and completely natural. These sessions are baby-led, allowing plenty of time for snuggles, soothing, and all the little in-between moments that make this stage so special.
Newborn sessions can be scheduled anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months old. And honestly, my style is perfect for older newborns. If you’ve missed those first couple of weeks, no need to worry! Whenever you're ready, I’ll be here to capture your family in the most natural and beautiful way.
Sessions last up to 90 minutes, giving us the flexibility to create a full, relaxed experience without rushing. Let’s capture these precious moments before they slip away.
Lighting is everything when it comes to your newborn session. We'll focus on the sunniest rooms in your home, which may not always be the nursery, but trust me, you want the best lit rooms. Sessions typically start around 11 AM, so take a moment to notice which rooms have the best natural light at that time. If you truly desire specific rooms, keep an eye on their lighting over a few days, and we’ll plan accordingly to get the most beautiful, naturally lit moments.

FAQ’s:
CAN I HAVE A NEWBORN IN-HOME SESSION IF MY HOUSE DOESN’T GET A LOT OF LIGHT?
Yes. Light is crucial to a pretty session. I like to gather near windows if possible, and that may mean moving some furniture around to get there. If your heart’s desire is shoot more in the nursery, watch the light a few days to figure out when it’s brightest and we can aim from there. Otherwise, watch the light in the master bedroom as that is always a good place for a newborn session.
CAN WE INCLUDE OUR PETS?
Please do! They provide wonderful antics and chaos. If your dog is nervous or overly protective though, it’s generally better to have him happily secured in another room until the session is over.
WHEN SHOULD THE NEWBORN SESSION TAKE PLACE?
If you’re feeling amazing 2 weeks after birth, we can schedule it that early. If you’re not, we have until 3-months. My style of newborn sessions work very well with older newborns so it’s no pressure to make it happen right after birth.
HOW DO YOU MAKE IT WORK WITH OLDER CHILDREN?
Older siblings are wonderful, all of them, because it’s the honest portrayal of who they are at the moment. Some love the baby already and some are still getting used to the idea. We focus on the baby and let the older child come and go as needed. And I’m a fan of a clean bribe for the older kiddos.
CAN WE BRIBE OUR OLDER KIDS?
Totally! Let them have bribes throughout the session not just at the end. Littles have no idea of time so it makes them mad to endlessly wait. Only offer clean bribes though, like crackers or fruit chews. Suckers, drinks, and, chocolates will stain clothes or make sticky hair and fingers.
WHAT TO WEAR
My rule of thumb is to come as you are. Don’t be a dress girl if you’re not. There are so many ways to look good for a session and still be you. We go over this more once you’ve booked in.
