Pregnancy is a fleeting, magical time that passes in the blink of an eye. Each journey is unique, filled with precious moments that slip away all too quickly - the first flutter kicks, your radiant glow, the growing anticipation. You're only pregnant so many times in life; each day brings new changes worthy of preserving.
Our full-service, luxury portrait experience ensures you'll have stunning reminders of this extraordinary chapter for years to come. We'll be your guides through every step, from choosing the perfect location and wardrobe to creating breathtaking wall art that celebrates your journey into parenthood.
Our dedicated team specializes in capturing the beauty of motherhood, helping you freeze time, if only for a moment, to create lasting memories of the miracle growing within you. Explore our maternity services below and discover how we can preserve the beauty and excitement of your pregnancy in timeless portraits.
Our newborn sessions take place in our SE Boise Lifestyle Studio. What's a lifestyle studio you ask? It's the best of both worlds in our opinion! A relaxed home like atmosphere with controlled lighting... and that you don't have to clean! Read more about our studio space.
Newborn Sessions are usually done between 6-21 days old for the best chance of sleepy snuggly womb poses. However, we truly believe there is no "wrong" time to photograph your baby and are happy to welcome older newborns into our studio.
The Ultimate Post Partum Date!
(Yes that's really a thing) Show up ready to be pampered from start to finish with some amazing souvenirs from the experience (your artwork!) We offer a full luxury experience complete with professional hair and makeup, wardrobe and catered lunch plus a same day image viewing.

As soon as you see a (+) sign! We recommend booking your photos 2-3 months BEFORE your due date to ensure availability. However, if your baby has already been born we will do our best to get you in as soon as possible.
When should I schedule my newborn photos?
How do I schedule newborn photos when I don’t know when they will actually arrive?
Yes! While we do book up in advance we are happy to squeeze newborn sessions into our schedule whenever possible. Older babies tend to be a little more alert and may not go into the sleepy poses typical of a 1-3 week old, but instead we can get some beautiful photos of them with their eyes wide open, or even with one of those first smiles! We truly believe there is no wrong time to photograph your baby.
My baby has already been born, can I still schedule newborn photos?
We understand that stuff comes up and will do our very best to get you rescheduled whenever possible. We ask that you please use the “better safe than sorry” mindset and reschedule if you or another family member is sick.
Your baby's safety is our number one priority. We thoroughly clean and sanitize between sessions and are safety certified in both newborn photography posing as well as infant CPR.
Yes! We encourage older siblings, mom & dad and even grandparents to take part in our sessions and do not charge extra for additional people. Please just let us know in advance who to expect so we can plan accordingly.
What if I need to reschedule?
Can the whole family be included?
Yes, this is tricky! But all our newborn clients are in the same boat so we are constantly shuffling. We take a limited number of newborn bookings each month to ensure that we will be able to get you onto the schedule within 1-3 weeks after your baby is born. You will have a tentative session date about a week after your due date that can be adjusted as necessary. We ask that you keep us in the loop on baby’s arrival so we can plan accordingly.
How long does the session last?
During our luxury newborn experience session we will shoot from 10-12:30, provide a catered lunch and view your images immediately following your session. All other studio sessions begin at either 10am or 12:30pm and last 60-90 minutes.
Our luxury newborn experience includes a same day viewing session! For all other sessions we schedule our ordering appointments approximately 1 week later either in person or via our online ordering experience.
How long does it take to see my images?
Wait, Viewing Session? What’s that?
Your images are finalized 10-14 days after your ordering appointment and sent via web gallery for your approval. Once product orders have been placed, albums and collection boxes arrive in about 3-4 weeks. Please allow 8-10 weeks for custom framing and wall art. Everything will ship directly to your doorstep.
Once my order is placed how long does it take to arrive?
All images that you purchase get basic color correction and cleanup for stray hairs, tiny blemishes, baby acne etc. They are then color corrected for print. If you would like us to do anything else, say the word! Extensive retouching is available for an additional fee.
Yes, all of our collections are available with or without the physical products. While we highly encourage creating a keepsake art piece for your child, it is ultimately your decision.
How much editing do you do to the images?
Can I just buy digital files?
A viewing session or ordering appointment is when you look at your images together for the first time and place your artwork order. It takes place in person at the Glean studio or via online gallery. At this session you’ll see the products we offer, choose your favorite images, request any changes you might have (goodbye postpartum acne and fly away hairs!) and we’ll place the order, editing your images to perfection and printing your chosen artwork with our professional labs.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! We are happy to offer payment plans with Affirm as well as Afterpay so you can receive your images while your baby is still little- but break up the payments over time.
