Indianapolis Newborn Photographer

Yes, I offer in-home lifestyle newborn photography in Indianapolis and the surrounding areas.

These sessions are done in your home and have a more natural, relaxed style.

In-home newborn sessions are perfect if you want pictures in the nursery, family spaces, or places that feel personal to you.

A full newborn photography session includes images of your baby, parents, and siblings.

My newborn sessions are all-inclusive. There are no hidden fees, required upgrades, or surprise add-ons after your session.

Most newborn sessions last about 1.5 to 2 hours. However, there is no strict time limit. Babies need time to eat, settle, snuggle, and take breaks. That is all part of the process.

Your session includes my time during the session, access to my studio props, wraps, hats, baskets, blankets, backdrops, and accessories. It also includes an online proofing gallery, high-resolution digital images, and a print release.

Your full gallery will be delivered by email within two weeks of your session date.

Yes. Full newborn sessions can include your baby, parents, siblings, and family pets.

I love including the whole family when it makes sense for your session. These images are often some of the most meaningful ones in the gallery.

Young siblings do not have to be perfect. I keep things relaxed, quick, and low-pressure. If they need a break, that is okay.

Pets are welcome too. I always put your baby’s safety first, so we will only include pets in a way that makes sense. I typically photograph pets early in the session, then they can relax or head home.

You do not need to bring much for your newborn session.

Parents and siblings will need to bring their own outfits. I’m happy to help with outfit guidance before your session so everything photographs well together.

For baby, I have everything needed. My studio is stocked with wraps, blankets, newborn outfits, baskets, bowls, headbands, bonnets, and simple props.

Most babies are photographed wrapped, in simple newborn pieces, or in carefully chosen studio wardrobe items.

You are always welcome to bring a special blanket, outfit, family item, or sentimental prop. But it is not required.

I recommend soft, neutral colors for parents and siblings.

Cream, white, beige, tan, gray, soft pink, light blue, and muted earth tones all photograph well. These colors keep the focus on your baby and family.

Natural fibers are a great choice. Linen, cotton, gauze, soft knits, lace, and textured fabrics add depth without looking too busy.

For moms, off-the-shoulder dresses are especially flattering. Flowy dresses, simple gowns, lace, and textured pieces are all great options.

For dads and siblings, choose simple pieces that coordinate without matching perfectly.

I recommend avoiding bright colors, neon tones, large logos, and busy patterns.

I’m always happy to help with outfit ideas before your session.

Fussy babies are normal. I plan for feeding, soothing, changing, and extra snuggles during every newborn session.

There is no pressure for your baby to sleep the whole time.

I follow your baby’s cues. If your baby needs a break, we take one.

Yes. I offer package options for families who want to document more than one stage.

These are some of my favorite clients. I love getting to know your family over time. By the end of the year, your baby usually knows me too.

Package options can include maternity, newborn, 4-month milestone, sitter, cake smash, and Fresh 48 sessions.

This is a great fit if you know you want more than newborn photos. It keeps everything planned in advance. It also gives you a beautiful record of your baby’s first year.

Yes, you can still book newborn photos if your baby is older than two weeks.

Older newborns may be more awake and alert. They may not do every sleepy newborn pose.

But that does not mean you missed your chance. You can still have sweet, connected images of your baby and family.
