The earliest days of a baby’s life are fleeting. Tiny fingers curl around yours, sleepy expressions appear and disappear, and the quiet bond between parent and child begins to take shape.
In Loving Hands newborn portraits are designed to preserve that moment in a simple and meaningful way. These sessions focus on connection — the way a newborn fits perfectly in a parent’s hands, the way siblings look at their new baby brother or sister, and the way a family gathers around its newest member.
Sessions may take place in the comfort of your home or in the Brisson Imagery studio in Mount Pleasant, creating timeless portraits that feel both personal and enduring.



While many newborn sessions focus only on the baby, In Loving Hands portraits celebrate the relationships that surround a child from the very beginning.
Parents, siblings, grandparents, and even beloved pets are welcome to be part of the session. These portraits capture the excitement and tenderness of welcoming a new family member while preserving the connection between everyone who loves them.
The result is more than a baby portrait. It is the beginning of a family’s visual story.


Many families choose to create their newborn portraits in the comfort of their own home. Nurseries, bedrooms, and living spaces naturally become part of the story, allowing the session to capture the environment where a baby’s life begins.
For families who prefer a more classic look, portraits can also be created in the Brisson Imagery studio using timeless lighting and simple backgrounds.
Both options focus on calm, natural moments and authentic connection.


The signature portrait from these sessions is the In Loving Hands image.
In this portrait, the newborn is gently supported by the hands of a parent, symbolizing both protection and the beginning of a lifelong bond.
A soft wrap may be used to create a simple dark background that keeps the focus entirely on the baby and the connection between parent and child. The result is a timeless portrait that highlights the incredible scale of a newborn within the hands of those who will guide and protect them throughout life.



In Loving Hands sessions are intentionally styled to remain timeless.
Simple newborn outfits and blankets are available for the session, and families are welcome to include meaningful heirlooms or favorite baby clothing for personalization.
Parents and siblings are encouraged to wear neutral colors and minimal patterns so that the attention remains on the connection between family members and the newest addition to the family.


Newborn portraits often include quiet detail images that parents treasure for years to come.
Tiny hands gripping a finger, curled toes, soft eyelashes, and peaceful sleeping expressions are captured in close detail, preserving the delicate features that change so quickly during the first weeks of life.
While In Loving Hands sessions are rooted in timeless connection and family storytelling, some families also choose to add a fantasy newborn portrait to their session.
These portraits combine real newborn photography with detailed composite artwork to create imaginative scenes that feel whimsical, artistic, and unique.
Every final image begins with a safely photographed baby portrait and is then transformed through careful digital artistry into a finished piece of storybook-inspired artwork.
Fantasy newborn portraits are offered as an optional add-on for families who love creativity and want a portrait that feels truly extraordinary.

For many families, newborn portraits become the first chapter of a much larger story.
Children grow, families expand, and portraits created during these early days often become the foundation of a lifelong portrait tradition. Many Brisson Imagery clients continue documenting their family through children’s portraits, family portraits, and generational legacy sessions over the years.
These early portraits mark the beginning of that journey.
The newborn stage passes quickly, but the connection between parent and child is something that deserves to be remembered.
If you are expecting and would like to create timeless newborn portraits that celebrate the beginning of your family’s story, I would love to help you plan your session.
