NEW JERSEY newborn PHOTOGRAPHy

Thank you for considering Daria Kielek Photography. I’m so honored you are interested in working with me! It is my mission to provide a truly unforgettable experience for you and capture some of your life’s most precious moments through newborn photography.

The first few days of your child’s life are a fleeting masterpiece—a blur of delicate details, soft breaths, and a brand-new love that words cannot fully capture. I specialize in pausing these ephemeral moments, transforming the quiet wonder of your newborn into museum-grade fine art. With over a decade of experience and the honor of having photographed over 1,000 babies, I provide a safe, serene, and sophisticated environment where your baby’s comfort and well-being are always my highest priority.

I’ve designed my newborn commissions to be an effortless, full-service experience for you during those beautiful but exhausting early weeks. From the softest organic wraps and my curated studio wardrobe to professional hair and makeup services, I handle every detail so you can simply relax and enjoy your baby. My signature style focuses on the soulful connection and the intricate details—the tiny toes, the velvet skin, and the peaceful slumber—creating a visual legacy that you will cherish long after they have outgrown your arms.

My style and your experience…


Every newborn session is customized and unique to each client. My style of newborn photography is best described as timeless, clean, and minimalistic, with an emphasis on your baby as the beautiful subject. I love to use a mix of modern-rustic props and earth toned colors. I do my best keeping things simple and pure.

I will capture the story of your baby in a beautiful organic natural form. I love keeping newborn portraits simple without overpowering them with lots of props or unnatural posing. The first family portrait with your new addition to your family is my mission.

Since 2013, I have had the profound privilege of working with over 1,000 newborns. This extensive experience has allowed me to master the art of newborn soothing and safe, anatomical posing. I understand that you are entrusting me with your most precious gift; therefore, I maintain a calm, temperature-controlled studio environment where we move at your baby’s pace. Whether it’s pausing for a feeding or simply waiting for that perfect sleepy curl, I am dedicated to a patient, gentle approach that results in soulful, breathtaking imagery.

Fine Art Newborn Portraits

Life is art—preserve your visual legacy.

Focused on honoring life’s most tender milestone, every newborn commission is a dedicated pursuit of timeless artistry. I specialize in creating breathtaking, tangible artwork, from luxury albums to museum-grade wall portraits, that transform your most precious memories into lifelong keepsakes.These are more than just images; they are a sophisticated visual legacy designed to withstand the test of time.

These pieces serve as a permanent visual legacy; sophisticated artwork that your children will one day hold in their own hands. This is more than photography; it is a storied heirloom destined to live within the heart of your home for generations to come.

I have had Daria photograph my family for 4 years. She has photographed my maternity pictures, newborn sessions, and family pictures every year. Every picture that she has photographed is hung in my home and is a true piece of art, and every person who has been in my home has commented the same. Perfection all the time.”
