Maternity
&
Newborn

Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most precious moments, and capturing it with a luxury photographer ensures these memories become timeless heirlooms. Serving the Sacramento and Bay Areas, I specialize in maternity and newborn photography that is elegant, heartfelt, and stress-free. My Folsom-based newborn studio offers a cozy space designed for your baby’s comfort while I create beautifully styled portraits you’ll cherish forever.

Choosing a luxury photography experience means investing in more than just photos—it’s about creating artwork that tells your family’s story. From soft textures to timeless styling, every detail is carefully curated to highlight the beauty of this special time. Whether you prefer glowing maternity portraits or delicate newborn images, I’m here to make the process effortless and enjoyable.

From wardrobe guidance to handcrafted albums, I offer a full-service experience so you can focus on what matters most—soaking in these fleeting moments. Let’s create something beautiful together and preserve these memories for generations to come.

You're expecting.

Simply fill out the contact me page, or email me at nicole@bluegatephoto.com. We will start with a short phone call to get an idea of the type of session you are looking for. From there we will meet in studio or by video chat to discuss all the details and plan your session out. 

How do I book a session with Blue Gate Photography?

01.

We love to photograph maternity, newborn, sitter, 1st birthday, family, kids, and senior sessions. We also occasionally do engagement sessions and headshots. 

What types of photography sessions do you offer?

02.

Our newborn sessions are done inside our Folsom studio. We also sometimes can do sitter or first birthday sessions in studio. All other sessions are done outside. 

Do you offer indoor and outdoor photography sessions?

03.

That really depends on the time of year and type of session you are wanting. It's a good idea to book your maternity and newborn session at the start of your second trimester. For family sessions during peak season (sep-dec) it's best to book at least a month in advance. However, even if you missed these deadlines its ok to inquire about any last minute openings we may have. 

How far in advance should I book my session?

04.

No, all digital and print items are sold separately. I do offer digital and print collection as well as a la carte prints. If you decide to purchase prints, every print includes a digital copy. 

Are digital files included in your session fee?

05.

Absolutely! Just let me know ahead of time what you would like to bring so that i can come up with a plan on how to incorporate it. Please be aware that most newborn clothing that you purchase online or in store may fit large on your baby as they are designed to allow baby to grow into. I have plenty of outfits and props that are purchased from specialty vendors so that they fit newborns snugly. 

Can I bring props or special items to incorporate into my session?
