Capturing the very first days of your baby’s life is a precious gift you give to yourselves and your family forever. LunaCat Studio, a newborn photographer in Lausanne and across French-speaking Switzerland (Geneva, Nyon, Morges, Montreux, Fribourg, etc.) for over 15 years, supports parents in preserving these unique moments with gentleness, safety, and elegance.
The first days of your baby’s life pass incredibly fast. Every expression, every tiny movement disappears before we even realize it. A newborn photography session with the professional newborn photographer LunaCat Studio, allows you to capture timeless images of your baby and your family, create precious timeless memories, preserve the emotions of these first moments and benefit from specialized expertise to ensure your baby's comfort and safety.
Each newborn photography session is designed as an exclusive and personalized experience with tailored guidance before the session (tips to prepare the baby, parents, and siblings). As a newborn photographer, I focus on a gentle and baby-led approach, respecting your newborn’s rhythm while providing elegant and authentic images that will become part of your family’s photographic heritage.
Before the session, we discuss your photographic wishes, including preferred baby poses, the integration of personal items, clothing choices and the participation of the co-parent and/or siblings.
The newborn photo session at your home follows the baby’s rhythm with physiological and safe poses, cuddle and feeding breaks. Everything is designed to ensure the baby remains comfortable and relaxed.
Each delivered image is carefully edited to achieve a premium, natural, and luminous result.
The ideal time for a newborn photo session at home is between birth and 15 days old. During this period, babies still sleep deeply, naturally curl into fetal positions and can be safely and gently posed. Session availability is intentionally limited in order to provide a premium and exclusive experience, so it is recommended to book your newborn photography session during pregnancy.
I travel to your home throughout French-speaking Switzerland, including Lausanne, Morges (Vaud), Geneva, the Lake Geneva region, Montreux, Fribourg, Orbe, Neuchâtel, Valais and nearby France.
You remain in your familiar environment. At home, your baby will be more relaxed to let you enjoy a well-deserved moment of rest. I bring all the necessary equipment to ensure a smooth and comfortable newborn photo session at your home.
Each newborn photography session is customized according to your expectations. Contact me to receive a clear pricing offer tailored to your wishes and your location (newborn photo sessions start at 550 CHF). Every newborn session takes place at your home to offer the whole family a peaceful experience in the comfort of your own space.
After booking your session, you will receive guidance to help you prepare for your baby’s photo session. You will be professionally supported throughout the entire process—before, during, and after the session—to ensure this experience is truly unique for you and your family.
As a specialized newborn photographer with over 15 years of experience, I understand and respect your baby’s signals and needs. Poses are chosen according to the newborn’s preferences while respecting their comfort and safety. Feeding and cuddle breaks are taken whenever necessary.
My work is always carried out gently using appropriate accessories while creating a calm and safe environment for every photograph. The newborn photo session at home lasts between 1 and 2 hours and adapts to your needs and wishes. Of course, parents and older siblings are welcome to participate in family portraits.

Booking usually takes place during pregnancy, ideally during the second or third trimester. The exact date of the session is then adjusted after the baby is born. Specialized newborn photographers often receive many requests, especially in a dynamic region like Lausanne and French-speaking Switzerland.
When booking, an approximate date based on your due date is reserved. After your baby is born, you simply contact me again to confirm the exact session date. This organization guarantees availability during the first days of life, which is the best time to photograph a newborn. If your baby has already been born, contact me to check last-minute availability.
The ideal age is between 4 and 15 days after birth. During this time, babies sleep deeply, they naturally maintain fetal positions and soft and artistic images are easier to achieve.
However, sessions can still be done up to one month after birth, with more awake and natural images. For older babies, a baby photography session is usually more suitable.
Yes. For premature babies, the session is usually scheduled according to the expected due date rather than the birth date to respect the baby’s development. Each situation is adapted individually, so please contact me quickly to reserve your session.
The session takes place directly in your home.
