Newborn Sessions with Heart: Support from a Lactation and Birth Expert
As a newborn and family photographer, I’ve come to realize that my work is about so much more than just taking beautiful pictures. Every session is a chance to connect with families during one of the most meaningful times in their lives. I’m always learning, growing, and finding new ways to support the amazing parents I meet.
One of the things I love most is learning from professionals in the birth and newborn care world. Sharing what I know with my clients is something I’m truly passionate about.
That’s why I’m so excited to introduce you to someone I deeply admire and trust: Seema Doshi, birth educator and lactation consultant. Seema is a multilingual mother of two with more than 14 years of experience in maternal health. She’s a Registered Nurse, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, and holds two Master’s degrees. Her expertise includes certifications in childbirth education, and her work spans from in-person hospital care to virtual lactation consultations for families around the world.
What makes Seema especially unique is her commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion in all areas of care. She’s passionate about creating an inclusive and affirming space for every family she supports. In addition to her professional work, she also volunteers her time in New York City, helping families get the care they need when they need it most.
During your newborn photo session, I want you to feel relaxed, supported, and truly cared for. That’s why I’m thrilled to offer the option of having Seema join us. If you’re interested, she can be present during your session to offer lactation support, answer questions, or simply provide a calming and reassuring presence. Whether you’re breastfeeding, pumping, bottle-feeding, or a combination of all three, Seema’s guidance can be a meaningful resource.
This collaboration brings something truly special to your newborn experience. My goal has always been to offer more than just beautiful images. I want every family I work with to walk away feeling confident and supported. Seema’s presence adds another layer of warmth, knowledge, and care—and I’ve seen just how comforting that can be for new parents.
If this sounds like something you’d like to explore, just let me know when you book your session and I’ll take care of the rest. You can also learn more about Seema and the services she offers by visiting Sacred Cradle Birth Services.
If you’re searching for a newborn photographer in Morganville, NJ, my studio is just a short drive from Staten Island and is designed to feel cozy, calm, and welcoming. I also offer in-home sessions if that’s your preference, bringing the experience to you so you and your baby can stay comfortable in your own space.
Capturing your newborn’s first moments is one of my greatest joys, and it means even more when I can support your family in a deeper, more personal way. I would be honored to be part of your journey.
See you soon, mamas.
