Olalab Studio | Photography and Visual Storytelling in Amsterdam
Calm, baby led sessions in your home
Baby-led, unhurried sessions
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Choose digital images, prints, or heirloom albums when you are ready. No pressure. I guide you if you want help choosing.
We had such a beautiful experience with Carola and Ola Lab for both my maternity photoshoot and our newborn photoshoot. The photos are absolutely gorgeous and capture such special moments that we will treasure forever. What made the experience even more meaningful was how comfortable, relaxed and cared for we felt throughout both sessions. Carola was so patient and gentle with our baby, and made everything feel natural and stress-free. Thank you so much for capturing these moments so beautifully. We would wholeheartedly recommend Ola Lab to anyone looking for someone who is talented, caring and genuinely passionate about their work! 🤍

Carola captured our firstborn’s newborn session and now our family photos with our second baby. We absolutely love how the pictures turned out! Time flies and they grow up so fast, so these photos are truly special to us. Thank you for such a wonderful experience and for the fast delivery so we could get our baby announcements out in time!

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.
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.
Heirloom albums from €120
