Our Exclusive Client Preparation Guides | Lynchburg Newborn Photographer

One of the things that sets Liz Cook Photography apart from other photographers in Lynchburg, Virginia is our Exclusive Client Preparation Guides. These are 10+ page guides full of helpful information—everything from sibling preparation to a suggested preparation timeline that starts the day you book and carries you through to the day of your session.

We’ve created a guide for every type of session: newborn portraits, maternity & family sessions, baby milestone portraits, birth and fresh 48 photography, and even our individual mini session offerings. No matter what stage of motherhood or family life you’re in, you’ll feel supported with thoughtful guidance designed to take the stress off your plate.

Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most beautiful milestones, and documenting those first days is a gift you’ll treasure forever. As a newborn photographer in Forest, VA, I design every session to be relaxed, baby-led, and filled with meaningful moments that celebrate your growing family.

This sweet little boy brought his whole family to the Liz Cook Photography studio in Forest, VA. His momma followed our detailed guidance in the Exclusive Client Preparation Guide perfectly—which made for a comfy, sleepy baby throughout the entire session and a smooth experience for everyone.

This sweet girl and her parents came to the studio in Forest, Virginia on a chilly winter day. I was able to keep the photography studio warm and cozy for her which allowed her the utmost comfort and gave us ample opportunity to capture all of her precious newborn-isms.

This session is a great example of a Newborn Only Session. I offer three different types of Newborn Session packages in the Lynchburg, VA area to suit your budget and photography needs, one of which is the Newborn Only session. This session includes photographs of your brand new baby on the beanbag in a variety of poses wrapped in a number of soft and cozy wraps.

Sunday and Daddy | Lynchburg Family Portrait Photographer

There are a million and one things I could have been doing this morning between 5am and 7am... one of those things includes sleep, of course... but I was up and I wanted to finally blog these pictures I took about a month ago. We were having a super warm week and Sunday and I had been sitting outside waiting for Tommy to get home from work. The light was just right... Tommy was in his uniform... and Sunday was in just a diaper. Everything was perfect so I ran inside and grabbed my camera and captured some of my absolute favorite pictures of the two of them - ever. This is so them... she's such a little toddler now. One second she wants cuddles, the next she wants to get down and run around. She is growing so fast and we are absolutely enjoying her at this age. She's 17 months old now... wow. How time flies! I hope to get another letter to her written so soon to capture all the things she is saying and doing these days. Just like one day she decided to start walking... it seems as though she has just decided to start talking. She understands almost everything we say to her now - obviously I cannot have an adult conversation with her - but I speak in easy terms and she gets it. We've started tapping into the world of potty training by using key words now to identify what's going on. She is so smart and she catches on so fast. Anyway, I need to save all this stuff for her letter. :)

Here are the loves of my life...!
