Charlotte Newborn Photographer | The Newborn Experience
The first days of your baby’s life are fleeting—tiny fingers, sleepy smiles, and those little details you’ll want to remember forever. As a Charlotte newborn photographer, I specialize in creating timeless portraits that preserve these once-in-a-lifetime moments in a calm, beautiful way.
At Amanda Knowles Photography, my newborn sessions are designed to be stress-free and luxurious, so you can simply relax and soak in your baby’s first days.
A baby marks a fresh beginning to another chapter in the life of your family. Preserving this special time with artistic newborn photography is truly an act of love. Lets create everlasting memories that not only you can show off now in the present, but heirloom pictures and keepsakes that your children can share with their future children too.
Why Newborn Portraits Matter so much
When to Schedule Your Newborn Session
Why choose us for your newborn portraits
Your newborn will change more in their first year than at any other time in their life. Photographs taken during those early weeks become priceless memories—images you’ll look back on when your baby is grown, and heirlooms your child will someday treasure.
The best time to photograph your baby is within the first 1-3 weeks after birth, when they are sleepiest and most flexible for those sweet, curled-up poses.
*Many parents reserve their newborn session during pregnancy to ensure availability once baby arrives.
My studio sessions focus on simplicity and timeless beauty—no clutter or heavy props, just your baby captured in a fine art style. From peaceful swaddled portraits to those tiny detail shots, your gallery will tell the story of your baby’s first days.
The studio is located just outside of Charlotte in Marshville, NC.
