Portland Newborn Photography

Professional Oregon newborn photographer, Michelle Pinheiro, specializes in infant photography in Portland and surrounding areas. Sessions are available in her studio or on-location in your home. Known for her work with newborns, she has been called "the best in Oregon", and delivers an upscale experience and gorgeous portraits. Michelle has worked with clients all over the Portland and Vancouver area, as well as regular clients from out of state.

Michelle particularly enjoys capturing photographs that show those special relationships shared between moms and dads and their new babies. If possible, we recommend that your newborn portraits take place during baby's first week. After the second week, babies become less flexible for those precious newborn poses. They may also develop baby acne, and don't sleep as easily. We understand it can be difficult to schedule anything during this time, let alone a portrait session. However, as an experienced newborn photographer, Michelle highly recommends this as the best time to schedule your portraits. We suggest booking your newborn session while you are still pregnant, as Michelle's schedule tends to fill very quickly.

As a mother herself, Michelle understands that the first few weeks at home with baby can be overwhelming! We are sensitive to that, and make every effort to make your experience as easy and enjoyable as possible. We are happy to photograph your older newborn as well, and some of our favorite images were from babies not quite as new. Although we recommend the first week as the best time to capture those newborn moments, our top priority is that we do capture this fleeting stage, whether it be at 6 days old or 6 weeks old.
