For Glen Mills-based photographer Jamie Englert, newborn photography was a calling that grew out of motherhood and a love of preserving her children’s precious moments. She gives families a peaceful, luxurious, and customized experience during a tender and often overwhelming time.

Each client begins with an in-home consultation. “I look at wardrobe choices, overall aesthetic of the house, nursery design, and spaces where they might hang photos,” she explains. “That helps me design the session to match their home and style.”

Her clients are often moms in their thirties and forties. “They’re tired. They’ve just had a baby. All they have to do is show up,” Jamie says. “I want the experience to be relaxing. Parents can sit back and relax, even if they bring a toddler.”

Newborn photography requires a lot of education. Jamie has completed numerous in-person workshops and online courses on safety, editing, and lighting to ensure each session is professional and secure for newborn and family.

Jamie guides families through choosing images and layouts. “A lot of people don’t know what to do with their photos,” she says. “I help with wall galleries, custom baby books, and anything they need.”

She came to photography after 12 years as an elementary school teacher. Once she became a mother, she realized how meaningful it was to document the early years. “I just fell in love with newborns,” she says. “Designing the sets, working with newborns; it’s everything I love. It’s perfect for me.”
