Mily Cooper Photography IS FULLY VACCINATED FOR COVID-19. Including the booster shot.
Welcome !!!
Congratulations on your pregnancy !!!
- If you have decided to invest in custom newborn
photography, I assure you, this is a wonderful decision.
I have been a newborn photographer since 2013 and have photographed over 800 newborn babies since. If you pick me as your photographer, I will capture for you, the most wonderful images of your little one in a safe and comfortable environment.
Bookings
E-mail me at milycooper.photography@yahoo.com
Text me at 310.916.7145.
Let me know your full name, due date or if you had the baby, the birth date, package you are interested in, etc.
I will get back to you within 48 hours.
- I limit the number of newborn sessions to 2-3 per week to ensure flexibility and personalized service to each family, so contact me right away to secure your spot.
- Ideally, your baby should be photographed during the first 2 weeks of life. It is easier for younger babies to hold those beautiful in utero poses. Also we want to avoid baby acne and colic which sometimes flare on some babies after 2 weeks.
What if my baby is older than 2 weeks ?
You should photograph your baby even if he/she is older than 2 weeks old. I had photographed babies that are 3 weeks or 4 weeks that are very sleepy. As long as you keep an open mind to what the outcome would be, you should definitely have your baby photographed.
We photograph babies of any age, but the longer you wait to have your baby photographed, the more alert he/she will become. It’s ok, while there will be limitations to certain poses and props as they get bigger and more alert, there are plenty other poses and angles that we can do to capture your baby's cuteness.
For babies 2 months and older, we recommend doing a Mommy & Me Session or a Lifestyle at home.

Single Session Packages & Pricing
- Newborn sessions last 2-3 hours to ensure there is plenty of time for photographing, feeding and soothing the baby when needed.
- Studio Sessions take place in my cozy and private home studio, conveniently located in Woodland Hills, very close to the Topanga Westfield Mall and to Calabasas Commons. There are plenty of coffee shops and parks close by as well.
- Currently, I do not offer posed newborn sessions at client's home, only lifestyle sessions. Sorry for the inconvenience.
