Congratulations! You are either expecting or have just had your precious little one. As a mother of 6, I can assure you these memories are priceless. The best time to schedule your newborn session is while you are pregnant. This will give us time to thoroughly plan your session to perfection. If you are still carrying around your baby bump you should check out my maternity gallery and consider scheduling that session as well. You will be glad you did. Jan Wilson
Your local photographer in Panama City Beach, FL.
Thank you so much for your interest in my work. I am a natural light photographer servicing Panama City Beach and surrounding areas. I love working with light, natural & organic materials and textures to create portraits that are timeless. Newborn sessions are done in studio or in your home.
So, let’s talk about what you can expect with this session.
If you have had your little one, you should know the best time to schedule newborn sessions is within two weeks of birth. Why is this important? Babies are sleeping most of the time during this time, they are flexible and safe for those precious little “froggy” poses and they have not started molting (peeling of skin). Is your baby older than 14 days, no worries we can always capture those precious moments, we just may not be able to do certain poses depending on baby and there will more than likely be peeling skin that some parents don’t care for. Rest assured, it’s completely normal.
Every session tells a story, captures emotions & is a work of art. I strive to capture those timeless moments that my clients will want to remember always. I do a mixture of poses on props, with bean bag and with parent(s) and sometimes siblings if desired.
You will always be scheduled with me, Jan Wilson. I have an assistant and second photographer, my daughter Breanna that will be helping me to assure baby safety and aid with lighting reflectors and posing when needed. We have everything covered. This is a time for you to rest and let us work our magic. The session can take from 1-3 hours depending on baby, so take advantage of this time to rest & relax the first month can be a real adjustment for all.
I am building a tribe of loyal and happy customers that want to come back to me every time for every occasion. I don’t rush sessions or put time limits on our creativity.
I am very relaxed and like to follow the vibes of my newborns. No baby is the same, so no two sessions are the same. We will work around the baby. I advise each of my potential client to check out my galleries and make sure you like what you see, because that is what you will get.
Every photographer has their own style of photographing and editing and it’s important that you like mine. Also, if you don’t know your style, Pinterest is a wonderful way to check out different photography styles and poses. I encourage and welcome any insight that will make your session everything that you want it to be. Most of all I want you to be happy with your experience with me and for you to be happy with your newborn portraits.
A good way to assure that is to consider how your home is already decorated or to keep the session neutral and timeless so that your portraits will look fabulous displayed for all to see. We will be planning your session and tailoring it specifically to your desires and we will be choosing colors, textures and props.

Love Notes
Jan is such a sweet soul that really goes out of her way to make your photography experience a great one! I felt completely at ease and honestly don't know if I would have comfortably been able to do boudoir photos with anyone else. Highly recommend her!
Jan Wilson has a way of capturing the true essence of her subjects with her photographs. She is a pleasure to work with and fast working.
Jan was very professional and pulled out the family's personality through the photos she captured. She was open to all of our ideas and didn't mind helping our dog through a few poses. I would definitely recommend her to my friends.
When will my portraits be available? That’s very important to know! I will tell every client that it “could” take up to two weeks. However, I know that I wouldn’t want to wait two weeks and try to get your gallery to you as soon as possible, sometimes within 48 hours depending on the number of edits needed.
Will I get EVERY portrait taken? The simple answer is no. As a professional photographer, I only want the best portraits out there representing me and my work. If the image is blurred or otherwise flawed you will not see it and wouldn’t want to.
Professional photographer servicing the entire Panama City Beach and surrounding areas, including Panama City, 30A, Santa Rosa Beach, Miramar Beach and Destin.
