Timeless Newborn Photos In the Comfort of Your Home

Simple, Natural Newborn Photography to document your beautiful new chapter of life.

You don’t have to pack a thing, you get to just soak in your sweet new baby. And while you hold them, kiss tiny toes, I document the moments you know you want to freeze for forever.

My newborn photo session approach is all about staying relaxed and baby led. No complex posing or styling, but instead just you, your baby and what matters most in an intentional way in the comfort of your home.

Meet Your Oklahoma City Newborn Photographer

Welcome mama! As a mama of 3, I’ve been there and I want you to know you’re not doing it alone.

With years of photographing Oklahoma families and walking through those early days myself, I’ve learned this season doesn’t need perfection. It needs presence, care, and a whole lot of grace.

My goal is for you to feel seen, supported, and guided through your newborn session that meets you where you are.

No fancy home or decorated nursery needed, a space of natural light is perfect!

“We were blown away...”

Charis was so kind and intentional before, during & after our photo session and her clam presence made it enjoyable. She provided extra resources on how to prepare for the session and then provided suggestions on how to print and use our gallery after. It felt like family time. My husband continues to say how impressed he is with our photos.

Easy Process for Busy Moms

1. Reach Out

Fill out the contact form when you’re ready, and I’ll get back to you with session options and availability. Once you’re booked, I’ll send a short questionnaire to help me get to know your family better. This helps us plan a session that truly feels like you.

2. Session Guidance & Prep

You’ll get a guide with tips for what to wear, how to prep your home (spoiler: no need to deep clean!), and what to expect during the session. Your job? Relax and lean into the moment. I’ll take care of the rest.

3. Your Session Day

At-home sessions mean no packing bags or rushing out the door. Just you and your people in your favorite place. Cozy socks, favorite blanket, snacks on the counter – I count it as part of the story. I’ll gently guide you as needed, but mostly I’ll document the love, joy, and connection that already exists.

4. Cue the Happy Dance – Gallery Delivery

A few weeks after your session, you’ll receive a private online gallery with your hand-edited images. From there, you can download favorites, order prints, or create heirloom albums. Every photo is edited by me with care and yours to love for forever.

“Charis did a wonderful job on our newborn photos! She makes it so easy on new parents -she came out to our home and provided a choice of beautiful dresses to wear for our photos. She took a lot of stress out of the whole process! Thank you Charis!!”

A few FAQ’s about lifestyle newborn photography

I’d love for you too! And the majority of my clients do. You can add on a 30 minute maternity session at location of choice for $350 to any newborn photography session or Fresh 48 photo session.

Lifestyle newborn photos are very flexible! I recommend booking me before your baby arrives just to make sure I have an opening for you. But newborn sessions can be held anytime within the first 3 months. I recommend between 1-3 weeks but I do them with families with babies anywhere from 5 days old to 10 weeks old! I wrote this post about how to think about scheduling your newborn session.

I do not need much space for an in home newborn session. And you do not need to deep clean – just clear the clutter from where you want to do the session! Give me one corner by a window and we can do so much! I do bring flash along with me and use it as needed. I will move stuff as needed. Peek over at this helpful post for what to expect on prepping your home.

This is why being at home is awesome! You don’t have to worry about them breaking a studio light or what they will do why you get photos done. Instead they can be there for some, go play and come back again!

Yes! Client privacy is extremely important to me and clients are in control of permissions for what gets shared. All clients can choose what their level of privacy is whether they want none shared publicly, no faces or sharing all of them.
