Capturing the fleeting first chapters of life

Those first days with your newborn are quiet, intense, and fleeting. Tiny details, soft light, and the closeness of simply being together.

Your baby’s first session captures these early moments in your own home. Calm, unhurried, and baby led.

DURING the session

Sessions are slow, flexible, and follow your baby’s rhythm. Your home does not need to be styled. Natural light is enough.

How an at home newborn session works?

There is no right or wrong way to tell your story. Each family brings its own rhythm, and I simply follow it. We go gently, allowing space for pauses, cuddles, and laughter. Whether we shoot in your home or in a cozy setup I prepare, the goal is to create timeless images that hold softness, warmth, and real love.

Before the session

You choose your session package and preferred date through the online booking tool. If your baby arrives earlier or later, we adjust. You receive a short prep guide so you feel prepared.

During the session at home

Sessions are slow and baby led. We take breaks for feeding, cuddles, and soothing. Your home does not need to be perfect. Natural light is enough

After the session

After your session, you receive a curated gallery within 48 hours, based on the package you chose. You can select your favorites and add more images if you wish. I take care of gentle, natural edits.

Your keepsakes

Choose digital images, prints, or heirloom albums when you are ready. No pressure. I guide you if you want help choosing.

TESTIMONIAL

What families say about their newborn sessions

“We did a three-generation shoot with our newborn, and the experience was incredibly gentle. Even when our baby was unsettled, there was no pressure at all. Carola’s patience made all the difference. The images reflect this precious time exactly as it was, and we are so grateful we did this.”

We have done two sessions with Carola, one outdoors with our first son and another at home in Amsterdam when our second was nine months old. Both felt effortless and full of warmth. She has a natural way of capturing real moments without any pressure or posing. We used the photos for our son’s birth announcement and birthday cards, and everyone commented on how full of love and light they were

Choose the session that fits this moment.

Newborn sessions are designed for babies in their first weeks of life, ideally within the first 2 to 4 weeks after birth. If your baby is already a little older, that is completely fine. Beautiful moments still happen beyond the newborn phase.

Choose the session that fits this moment.
Most newborn families choose Cocoon for the extra time, flexibility, and calm it allows.
You can decide how to keep your memories later, after viewing your private online gallery.

After the session

Your photographs deserve to live beyond the screen.

Once your session is complete and your photographs are ready, a new chapter begins. This is when memories take shape in fine art albums, soft velvet books, or beautifully wrapped print collections.

Each piece is handcrafted using materials chosen for their warmth, texture, and longevity. They turn your images into keepsakes that can be held, opened, and shared for years to come.

Your photographs deserve to live beyond the screen. Let them become part of your home and your family’s story.
