memories that will last a lifeetime
newborn photography
I specialize in a natural, baby-led style of newborn photography. The style of photography I offer for newborns is organic, pure, and minimalistic, with gentle, natural posing. I believe the main focus should be your baby and the emotion and love that comes with this new addition to your family.

Moments
capturing life's most Precious
Kelowna Newborn Photographer
My aim is to create an environment where you can connect with your little ones, whether it's through playfulness or simply holding them close while they're still small enough to fit in your arms. It's about embracing the moment and creating lasting memories for the future. I knew from the start that motherhood photography would be my focus because it's where I feel the strongest connection. There's something truly special about connecting with other moms and celebrating the beauty of motherhood together.

Photos with memories that will last even after the children have left the nest
Each session is unique and catered to your baby — I photograph them just as they are, whether they’re asleep or wide awake.
Full newborn sessions include parents and siblings. I understand it can feel daunting to step in front of the camera, but I’ll guide you through it and keep everything relaxed and comfortable. If you’d prefer to document your baby alone, I also offer a mini newborn session that focuses on baby-only.
Forever
to cherish
I do neutral tones for timeless, beautiful imagery. I aspire to capture memories of your newborns life during the first few days and weeks - with breathtaking images that you can hold on to forever.
Sessions are done in my home studio, and typically last approximately two and a half to three hours, allowing time for feeding and comforting if needed.
Pictures
Timeless
3-4 weeks after your session date you will be sent a slideshow to view from the comfort of your own home. Once you’ve had a chance to view the slideshow and take it all in, you can decide whether to stick with Collection A (the base package you’ve already paid for) or upgrade to a collection that includes more images and print credit. You will have one month after the purchase of your collection - to decide which images you would like to download, as well as how you'd like to spend your print credit.
Gallery delivery
After your baby is born, please contact me to schedule your session! Sessions usually occur in the mornings from Monday to Friday. The remaining balance for Collection A (the base package) is due 3 days before your session.
Finalizing your date
To reserve your spot, I require a signed contract along with the $200 non-refundable retainer with the remainder due 3 days before your session. This secures your booking within 3 weeks of your baby's arrival, and once confirmed, you'll be added to my calendar. I'll also provide you with my comprehensive newborn session guide to help you prepare for our session together.
Let's pencil you in!
I suggest sending your inquiry during your second trimester, including your due date. Once I receive your message and confirm my availability around your due date, I’ll get in touch and send over my investment details.

I never expected newborn photos to be so enjoyable. She provided an exceptional experience from start to finish. Sharn is a baby-whisperer and a phenomenal photographer. She has a heart of gold and it shows in her photos. I highly recommend her service.
Exceptional experience!

We had our newborn photoshoot here, it was an awesome experience. Sharn is so amazing at natural poses. Prices are so reasonable for different type of photographs. I would highly recommend Samaa photography for newborn or maternity photographs.
Highly recommend!

How do we receive our photos?
Absolutely. It’s so special to capture the whole family with your new baby, and I highly encourage including parents and siblings in your photos during a full newborn session. If you’d like to include anyone beyond parents and siblings (such as grandparents or other family members), please let me know in advance so we can plan accordingly. Additional individuals may be subject to an extra fee, and please note that space in the studio is limited.
Mini newborn sessions are baby-only and do not include parent or sibling photos.
Can I incorporate siblings and other family?
My studio is located in my home in Upper Mission, Kelowna. For a behind-the-scenes look at the studio, you can check out my Instagram highlights.

After booking your session, you'll receive a newborn prep guide to help you prepare. It covers outfit recommendations that best suit my photography style, along with other helpful tips. Additionally, I offer a selection of beautifully curated dresses for moms from my client closet, as well as adorable outfits for your baby!
What do we wear?
Full newborn sessions typically last 2.5–3 hours. I keep things relaxed and baby-led, and we’ll take breaks as needed for feeding, soothing, and diaper changes so you never feel rushed.
Mini newborn (baby-only) sessions are approximately 1 hour and are designed to be a shorter, baby-focused option.
