As my birth photography business began really growing, I started receiving more and more requests for maternity, newborn, and baby portraits. I wanted to figure out a way I could streamline and systemize these types of sessions. I started looking at studio spaces outside of my home and let my imagination really run wild!

Fast forward a few months without many decisions made; Stephanie contacted me about shooting her newborn session. However, she mentioned that they were in the process of moving and they didn't have a space available to shoot in. I had to brainstorm - quick! I decided to give my own space a try, grabbing a few extra tools at the very last minute to help manipulate the light as best as I could.

I was SO in love with the way these pictures came out, I immediately began offering newborn and maternity sessions in my teeny, tiny studio! We've since grown into a much larger studio space, but more on that later! For now, check out the Debut Studio Newborn Session!

Are you expecting? Contact me today to schedule a no-obligation studio tour and session consultation. I am currently booking newborn sessions as far out as September 2017. Newborn sessions are best scheduled between 8-21 days old during the hours of 10AM-2PM. If you have waited until the last minute, please contact me - if I am able to fit you in, I will! I don't want you to miss out on the opportunity to have this short and sweet season of life documented. Get in touch with me as soon as possible!

Baby Henrietta's Newborn Session | Lynchburg Newborn Photographer

Oh this session was full of so. much. love!!

But let’s rewind! During Samantha’s complimentary wardrobe consultation, I was sharing the importance of feeling comfortable in what you wear during a photo session. I mentioned to her that I recently had a family wear pajamas at their session because that is what they felt represented them best as a family. My previous client had said they lounge at home in their PJs and she wanted pictures to reflect that. I loved the idea!
