A Peek into Baby T's Newborn Session | Lynchburg Newborn Photographer

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.

Why Back-to-School Portraits Matter More Than You Think | Lynchburg Family Photographer

The first day of school always seems to sneak up on us. One minute, your little one is chasing bubbles in the backyard, and the next, you’re packing backpacks and sharpening pencils for a brand-new school year. Those first-day jitters, oversized backpacks, and toothy grins are fleeting, but back to school portraits freeze those memories in time.

Tips for Your Best Summer Family Pictures in Lynchburg, Virginia

Of all the seasons in a year, I find summer to be the most challenging to work in. There are multiple reasons why, some of which include a later sunset time (not the most ideal for young children), the heat (and sweat beads and discomfort of my clients), and of course the risk of bugs, too. Most local photographers will tell you, summer simply is not the most comfortable season to be planning an outdoor portrait session.

The Birth of Cook Baby #3 | Lynchburg Newborn Photographer

Breck turned two earlier this month so I thought it was about time I published his birth story! It’s been so long, I am going to take a different approach to documenting this birth than I have in the past.

Things I never want to forget about the birth of Breck:

  • How much Sunday wanted to help and be as much a part of my birth team as she could. She brought me combs to grip, she offered me water, she kissed me and encouraged me. What. A. Gift.

“Liz Cook is an incredibly talented and attentive professional. Her sweet and gentle countenance is paired with her ability to capture the most tender and joyful moments of the births that she photographs. Liz’s photos will bring you years of enjoyment as they draw you back to the delight and bliss of your birth experience.”
