Meet Your New Hampshire Newborn Care Specialist & Newborn Photographer: Megan Matula

Hi there! 

I’m Megan, aka the “Newborn Lady.” I’m your one-stop-shop for newborn and new-parent needs.

It’s no secret that I love newborns. First, I spent over 10 years as a NICU nurse nurturing preemies and snuggling newborns before switching over to photography full time, which I’ve enjoyed for 8 years. I’m genuinely passionate about newborns and their families. It’s a wonderful stage of life, and I’m here to be your biggest (and qualified) cheerleader! 

Given my NICU experience, I get a lot of questions from new parents during photography sessions. I wanted to answer every question and offer the best guidance possible, but it just wasn’t possible to cover it all during the photoshoot. 

Newborn Care

Every parent wants what’s best for their new baby. But if you’re a new parent, sometimes figuring out how to raise a healthy and happy newborn can feel overwhelming. During the hospital stay after having your baby, you have the invaluable knowledge of the nurse staff and doctors on hand to answer any questions you have, from burping your baby to how to swaddle. 

But once you go home, it can sometimes feel lonely and overwhelming trying to figure out everything on your own. I’m here as a continued helping hand to provide support and to help you learn the secrets of newborn care. During your private session, I’ll give you tried and true methods for caring for your little one, all from the comfort of your home. It’s like being able to bring the nursing staff home with you!

When you book a newborn care session, I will tailor the session to your family’s needs and questions. Some of the things we might cover include:

  • How to best breastfeed your baby

  • Bottle-feeding tips

  • Dealing with gas and burping your baby

  • Soothing a fussy newborn

  • Learning how to swaddle your baby like a pro

  • How to bathe your baby

  • Infant safety and CPR overview

  • Any other topics you’d like to discuss

Even if you’re not in the New Hampshire area, you can book a virtual newborn care session wherever you are!

Photography

Don’t forget to document that sweet newborn perfection. Newborn packages include everything you need to have the perfect newborn photo session. All sessions take place in our safe and sanitized newborn-only studio in New Hampshire, complete with props, wraps, and a room warmer for baby. All you need to do is show up with your bundle of joy and feeding necessities, and I can take care of the rest! Plus, I’ll help soothe and comfort baby, giving you time and space to settle in and feed as needed so that we can capture your baby’s most precious newborn moments. Simply choose which photography package works best for you!

Style of Photos

My style is simple, with minimal props, so we can vividly capture the intricate newborn details—the soft skin, tiny toes, and long lashes. I use color, neutrals, textures, and composition to complement your little one. Feel free to include a special heirloom item or prop that has meaning to you if you like. 

Ultimately, I love capturing all that makes your newborn so perfect—and so distinctly yours. From squishy back wrinkles to pouty newborn lips, your new baby is the star of this show. If you’d like to see more of my style, take a look at my portfolio.

Meanwhile, your newborn’s safety and comfort remain my top priority. I am a member of the National Association of Neonatal Nurses and The National Association of Professional Child Photographers. You can learn more about my experience and story here.

From private newborn education to beautiful photos of your newborn baby, I can’t wait to meet you and your beautiful baby. Get in touch to start planning your session or to book a consultation.
