What Really Matters When Choosing a Newborn Photographer
1. Experience You Can Trust
Your baby’s safety and comfort come first. An experienced newborn photographer knows how to gently pose your baby, read their cues, and keep them cozy throughout the session. With nearly 20 years photographing newborns, I’ve learned that patience and calmness are just as important as technical skill. Parents often tell me they felt completely at ease, knowing their baby was safe in loving hands.
2. A Style That Feels Like You
Families would say they come to me for natural, less posed (yet directed) images snuggling their baby in their arms rather than heavily posed images with baby all alone in prop a, b, or c. I’ll take relaxed, fresh, squishy baby details over trendy props and stiff smiles any day of the week.
When choosing your photographer, ask yourself, “Do I love how their photos make me feel?”
Some are bright, airy, and classic while others are dark, moody, and have desturated colors. My work is natural, timeless, and filled with genuine connection. I want you to look at your images 20 years from now and not cringe at a trend. I want you to trust that as home styles change over the years, your images will feel classic and still look great.
3. More Than Just Digital Images
Everyone wants digitals, and of course we offer them for every family. But what clients love most and rave about is turning those images into custom albums and wall galleries. Imagine flipping through your baby’s first year album with them when they’re older, or walking past your wall gallery each day and smiling at those tiny newborn details you never want to forget. I design these with you so they fit seamlessly into your home and tell your family’s story beautifully and in a way you and your children will actually enjoy them. I would love nothing more than knowing you were able to walk through your home, and see your greatest treasures smiling back at you.
4. A Seamless, Stress-Free Experience
Having a baby is a big transition, and you don’t need one more thing added to your plate. Since word of mouth referrals make up more than half of the families I meet, you can trust that you’re in good hands.
My business’ heartbeat isn’t pressing camera buttons, but it is taking care of families. From your very first message to creating the perfect touches for your home, my promise is to make everything easy for you. I provide guidance on what to wear, and even have a wardrobe of flattering dresses at the studio mom’s can wear, and handle all the little details that you didn’t know needed to be taken care of. Parents tell me they came in tired, but left feeling cared for and excited to see their images. They love having things done and done.

Choosing the best newborn photographer in Louisville, KY isn’t about picking the trendiest Instagram feed. (Our’s is pretty good though, and you should totally follow!) It is about finding someone who makes you feel well cared for and can also create incredible images with you and your baby.
Very much like a wedding, there are no do-overs with newborn images. You want them to be good, you want someone trusted with experience. You want someone who gives you moments to remember versus a generic stack of photos of everyone standing stiffly and smiling at the camera. You want to remember your baby’s fresh little details and how they felt in your arms. You want know that at your most tired moment, you’re going to look good. You want to have keepsakes created and taken care of for you, so you don’t look back and see your biggest moments stuck on a computer somewhere in your home.
You want down-to-earth meets luxury, meets fun.
