Newborn Photographer in Hampton Roads

Safety First, Always

Roger Mitchell has 14+ years of experience safely posing and handling newborns. Our Suffolk studio is kept warm (around 80 degrees) for baby's comfort, and a parent or spotter is always within arm's reach during every posed shot. We never use unsupported positions.

Two Distinct Styles

Choose between natural, candid Lifestyle sessions that capture your family's connection, or meticulously posed Fine-Art sessions with artistic setups, wraps, and props. Both styles produce timeless images of your newborn.

Studio or In-Home

Our private Suffolk studio is fully equipped for newborn sessions. Or, if you prefer the intimacy of your own home, we bring the session to you. In-home newborn photography captures your baby in the nursery you lovingly prepared.

Polished Client Experience

Hampton Roads families trust Motiontography for important milestones. Roger brings patience, attention to detail, and an artistic newborn workflow to each session.

Newborn Lifestyle

Perfect for families who want natural, relaxed images that tell the story of your baby's first days at home. The focus is on connection: parents holding baby, siblings meeting their new brother or sister, quiet nursing moments, and the everyday beauty of your growing family.

• Best for babies up to 8 weeks
• Studio ($450) or in-home ($600)
• 90-minute session, 20 images
• Relaxed, documentary feel

Newborn Fine-Art

Ideal for parents who want artistic, carefully crafted portraits with creative setups, wraps, and props. These are the classic posed newborn images: baby curled in a basket, wrapped in luxurious fabrics, or nestled among hand-selected props that complement your nursery colors.

• Best for babies 5–14 days old
• Studio only ($650)
• 2.5–3 hour session, 15 images
• Artistic, posed, gallery-worthy
