"Haley is absolutely incredible, she truly has a gift and works great with newborns! I am so thrilled with our photos.  I will definitely be working with her again in the near future.  She is just amazing at what she does." - Casey Moser     


Hi, I’m Haley and I have been photographing newborns in the eastern panhandle of WV and surrounding areas since 2011! I love photographing newborns and would love the opportunity of capturing memories of your new little one for you. This time goes by so fast! Believe me I know! I have three daughters and my twins just started Kindergarten this year! Their newborn photos are still my favorite pictures. I love looking back at how little they were and remembering that very special time!

I have been photographing newborns for over 11 years. In that time I have photographed over 800 newborns! I know how to get baby into a peaceful sleep so that you will get all of those perfect poses that you see in my galleries! I also know how to safety pose newborns. Safety is my #1 concern and I will never do a pose if there is any risk to baby. I absolutely love photographing newborns and most of my clients come back to me throughout their babies first year, for their next newborn session, and for family sessions. When you book a session with Haley WIllingham Photography you join the HWP family. My clients are all very special to me and when I am holding and posing your newborn I will treat him/her like they were my own.







More About me

Hello and Welcome!  

ThE Haley Willingham Photography 


Newborn Experience

Inquiring & Booking

When you send me an e-mail to inquire about booking me as your newborn photographer you will receive back a link to my Newborn Experience Guide which will include important information about my newborn photography services and a complete pricing guide.  After you choose to book me as your newborn photographer I will send you my contract, questionnaire to help me plan for your session, and invoice for the deposit to hold a date for you on my calendar. I only book 10 newborn sessions a month so it is important to get on my calendar while you are still pregnant to insure I will have space for you once baby arrives.    

Setting Your Session Date

Maternity Session

Newborn Session

Newborn sessions are booked as early as 12 weeks into your pregnancy. I only take 8 newborn sessions a month in order to maintain a high quality of work that my clients have come to expect. So, it is best to get on my calendar early. Then, after you have baby you will contact me and we will set up your actual session date. It doesn't mater if baby comes early or late as long as you are on my calendar I will have space for whenever your baby arrives. Sessions take place in my Shepherdstown, WV studio where you will have access to my huge collection of props, headbands, hats, and outfits.  

Book a maternity session with your newborn session and save.  I love being able to capture maternity sessions for my clients.  This is such a special time in your life that will be over before you know it (though it might not seem like it now).  These photos will be so special to you and your baby for years and years to come!  Maternity sessions are best when you are between 32-36 weeks. This way you will have a nice size baby bump and you won't be too uncomfortable. Maternity sessions can take place at an outdoor location of your choice (I can help with location choices) or in my studio.  

Your new baby is between 5-14 days old and you are coming into the studio for your session!  When you arrive you can expect it to be warm!  Newborns are use to being very warm in the womb and they love the warm temperatures.  This will help them fall into a deep sleep.  Once you arrive I will take baby out of their carseat and undress them as carefully as possible to keep them asleep.  Then I will start!  The studio will be completely set up with backdrops and props when you arrive.  This is done based on the questionnaire you fill out at booking.  Though, if you see something set out that you do not like or if there is a prop you love that I do not have set out please let me know!  Feel free do whatever you wish during your session.  You can move closer to watch me or sit back and read a new book or work on thank you cards.  If baby needs to eat I will bring him/her to you.   

Gallery Delivery

You can expect to receive your finished gallery within 2 weeks after your session date.  You will receive an e-mail with the link to your gallery.  You will be able to choose the photos that you want from your online gallery.  After you make your selections your digital files will be delivered to the e-mail address you provided.  You will also have the option of ordering prints/products from my professional print lab. Though, no other purchase is required and you can order prints/products from the lab of your choice.    

Baby's First Year

If you chose a baby's first year package you will be coming to my studio again soon!  Please contact me a month before the milestone in order to get your session on my calendar.  You can expect a much shorter session then your newborn session. Milestone sessions are usually quick and easy!  You can bring up 3 outfits for baby though I do have a collections of handmade outfits at the studio for you to use.  For your cake smash session you will choose the colors/theme and I will order your cake from The Sweet Shop.  You can bring your own outfit or you can choose from ones I have at the studio.

Being a newborn photographer is unlike any other type of photography.  Being a great photographer doesn't exactly make you a great newborn photographer!  Being a newborn photographer requires you to not only know how to use your camera and lighting, it also requires you to be a baby whisper, master poser, baby safety expert, and have a huge prop closet!  That is exactly what you will get when you choose me as your Newborn Photographer.  Read more below to find out more about the Haley Willingham Photography newborn experience.

"Haley did newborn photos for our son on short notice, and did an absolutely amazing job! She was great with the baby- he didn't cry once during the entire session, and the pictures turned out amazing. I'm so glad we've already signed on with her to do his pictures as he gets older!"  
- Caitlin Siobhan 

"My wife and I have used Haley for a few years now. From our engagement and wedding pictures, to maturity and newborn pictures. Each time we are blown away and more amazed at her amazing work. Today when she did our newborn pictures she was so calm and gentle our little boy never cried once. We will continue to use Haley for years to come and definitely recommend her."  Tyler Dressel
