Newborn Mini Session
These sessions are meant to be quick and affordable alternatives for families who just want a few portraits of their baby. All mini sessions receive 6 images (each in both color and bw versions) in an online downloadable gallery.
30 minute Session– I will wrap baby right away, and I have set everything up to get six beautiful images for you, and allow time for baby to eat and fuss and get changed if necessary.
Wrapped images of baby only– these sessions go quickly because baby is wrapped up completely- no arms or legs to hold carefully in place while baby settles.
3 set ups in the colors of your choice
Babies 0-8 weeks

Natural Newborn Session
These sessions are shot with all natural light in the bedroom studio and are meant for intimate family focused photos with baby. Even though this is focused on newborn portraits, families are welcome to come in with their babies at any age! Newborns will be dressed in neutrals and posed on the bed and with family members in a close, cozy style.
(This session is included in a full newborn session)
One Hour Session– We will get you settled and then bring everyone into the bedroom studio, I will pose you and baby, siblings, too! And allow time for baby to eat and fuss and get changed if necessary.
Clients will receive all images (20+ photos, each image will be in both color and black and white versions) in an online downloadable gallery within three weeks.
No studio posing is included in this session- no props or composites or special posing will be included in this natural, easy documentary style shoot. I provide clothes and headbands for newborns and older babies but if you have an older baby or you’d like to bring a special outfit or lovey from home, please do.
Focused on neutrals, whites, creams and earth tones.
For Families and their Babies of All Ages
Purchase your session here in your due date month! When baby arrives, email me at mary@twohappylambs.com to schedule.
Santa Cruz clients: purchase the date that will definitely be after you give birth. If baby comes early, contact me and I will see if I have an earlier date we can move you to if possible.
Full Newborn Session
The total package- natural family photos in an intimate bedroom setting as well as high detail posed studio light images with various props with all the color choices.
Two to Three Hour Session– We start by bringing everyone into the bedroom studio, I will pose you and baby, siblings, too! Then siblings can go on with their day and I will spend another hour or so posing baby in the studio, warmed up so that baby can pose undressed comfortably, and set up ahead of time with all your favorite props, also allowing for plenty of time for baby to eat and fuss and get changed.
Clients choose their 20 favorites from a viewing gallery of 40+ – I deliver the gallery within three weeks and clients choose their favorite 20 from home and then all digitals are sent by email for download and printing anywhere they would like. Every image has a black and white version included for free. Very simple process. If clients would like all the images in the gallery (sometimes over 80!) they can upgrade to the full gallery for a $200 fee. If they just want one or two photos in addition to their 20 selections, those are sold a la carte for $50.
Artistic Composites
Art composites can be requested ahead of time or at the session for a fee of $75. Fee is waived if clients are purchasing the full gallery.

Maternity Mini Session
All mini sessions receive a small gallery of 20-30 images (each in both color and bw versions) in an online downloadable gallery within three weeks.
30 minute session- typically we can do two outfits in that time no problem. I have some things in the studio closet and you are welcome to bring your favorites. I recommend neutrals for the mini session.
Baby Mini Session
All mini sessions receive a small gallery of 20-30 images (each in both color and bw versions) in an online downloadable gallery
30 minute session- typically babies are overstimulated after half an hour and need to nap, but they will generally have a great time in 2-3 set ups during that time!
I have outfits here as well as neutral wood props for baby to play with, including a little wooden cake that babies love. Be ready to sing their favorite songs or play their favorite games to bring some laughs. We typically do a mix of studio and bedroom set shots but let me know your preferences!
Babies typically have bigger smiles and expressions as they get to play in the bedroom without the big artificial light, but some families really love the classic one light look so both are available.
Cake smashes include an additional fee of $100
For Babies of all ages
