This is one of the most common questions I hear from new parents—“What if my baby won’t sleep?” And the good news is: it’s truly not a problem.

As a professionally trained newborn photographer serving Jackson, Mississippi, and the surrounding areas. I’ve worked with hundreds of babies over the years. Some sleep the whole session. Others are wide awake and full of curiosity. I’m fully prepared for both.

Awake babies offer something just as special as the classic sleeping poses. We can capture beautiful images with open eyes, sweet expressions, stretches, yawns, and even little smirks. These alert moments tell the story of who your baby is right now, and they make for timeless, heartfelt portraits.

Every newborn session at Hope Davis Photography is completely baby-led. That means we follow your baby’s cues, take breaks as needed, and create a calm, peaceful environment with no pressure or rush. Whether your baby is snoozing or soaking in the world around them, we’ll document it in a way that’s simple, natural, and uniquely yours.

If you’re looking for a trained and experienced newborn photographer in Jackson, Mississippi (or anywhere in Central Mississippi), I’d love to walk you through what to expect. Sessions take place in my cozy studio just outside Decatur and are designed to feel easy—even for tired parents.
