I have worked with Janel on a multitude of projects from editorial, branding, special occasion & creative. Each time I am blown away with Janel's capability to capture the essence of the story at hand. Ive been her mused & have worked sets where I am not. Each time the results have been impeccable. She has a way of directing the entire session with ease & trust. She's always on time, extremely reliable, quick & always prepared. She is the best investment you'll make to capture your memories. Her turn around time is also quick. Below are some of the images Janel captured for my brand. I am a stylist.

Working with Janel was a dream come true! She was absolutely incredible. It was my first time doing a professional shoot and I was very shy at first, but she made me feel so comfortable and gave me lots of tips. She was patient, helpful, and caring. The results were so beautiful. She has a great eye for capturing the best moments. The shoot felt so natural and empowering. I LOVE her. I 100% recommend her. You NEED to book a session with her.

Feeling so comfortable allowed me to feel powerful, confident, and beautiful during our shoot. She has an amazing vision that you can only grasp when you see the incredible photos that she delivers. Janel has taken some of my very favorite photos and I adore collaborating with her!

Meet Your Miami Newborn Photographer
Hi, I'm Janel Kilnisan
As a photographer, I often get asked what lifestyle newborn photography is and how it differs from traditional posed newborn photography. And while there are many answers to that question, ultimately, it boils down to two things: connection and emotion.
Lifestyle newborn photography is all about capturing the real, everyday moments of life with a new baby. It’s about documenting the love, joy, and exhaustion of those first few weeks of parenthood. And it’s about telling your unique story beautifully and authentically.
Lifestyle newborn sessions typically take place in the comfort of your home or another location that is special to you. This can make the experience even more personal and intimate, as it truly captures your family in your own element.
Are We a Good Fit?
You're truly wild – messy hands, hair that's been played with by the wind, and belly laughs that echo in the heart. You're looking for a photographer who will guide you, but also lets you be yourself and have fun during the session.
You're a dreamer at heart – eyes sparkling with wanderlust, a smile that's lit up by the stars, and a spirit that dances to its own melody. You want a photographer who can catch those fleeting, ethereal moments that define you.
You're all about connection – hands entwined, souls meeting in a simple glance, and laughter that resonates in the very fiber of your being. You're seeking a photographer who can frame those intimate ties that make your love story truly timeless.

FAQ
What happens if my baby doesn't look at the camera
We'll just let them be, the magic of these photos is that we allow the baby to be themselves!
When should we schedule our newborn photo session?
The best time to book a newborn photography session is during pregnancy. You can plan the session in advance and according to your estimated due date.
A lifestyle newborn session is best conducted when your baby is 5-10 days old. This timeframe allows you to capture all the tiny details, like wrinkled skin, and is perfect for those close-up shots! It also ensures that your baby will be sleepy enough to be posed in different ways without too much fussing. However, my style is natural and spontaneous. I’m always looking for tiny nuances, such as smiles, yawns, and glances, so I don’t need your baby to be asleep all the time.
How long do newborn photoshoot sessions take?
Newborn photoshoot sessions can take anywhere from 1-3 hours, depending on how the baby is doing and how many breaks we need to take. I take an individualized approach with every baby I work with, so the session length may vary.
I want your photos to look exactly as you imagined them, or even better. Likewise, I won’t stop until they’re perfect. But I understand that taking care of a newborn is exhausting, so I will never push you beyond your comfort level or keep you longer than you want to be.
It is an honor and great responsibility to be chosen by a family to document their history in portraits. Therefore, my goal is to capture beautiful, natural moments in a relaxed, stress-free way for everyone involved.
Will you travel to my city for a photoshoot?
I’m based in Miami, FL. I mainly work in South Florida, but I can go to your city too! Just contact me and tell me where you are and your date preference.
