Carmel Indiana Newborn Photography by KristeenMarie

I love photographing newborns. Every family is different. Every session tells its own story. For many Indian families, tradition is a big part of that story. From the colors to the clothing to the customs, these details matter. I understand that, and I’m here to make sure they’re included in your baby’s first portraits. Timing […]

As a kid, I had big dreams. Not of becoming a photographer—but of owning my own daycare. I spent hours sketching my imaginary building, complete with twisty slides from the second story to the first, ball pits, climbing walls, and bright spaces filled with laughter. I dreamed of all the babies I’d get to hold, […]

Your session is done. You’ve received your gallery. You’ve probably looked at those sweet baby cheeks 50 times already. So now what? As a full-service Indianapolis newborn photographer, I want to help you take the next step—turning your images into something you can hold, see, and enjoy every day. You Get All the Edited Images—Always […]

As an Indianapolis newborn photographer with years of experience, I’ve developed a workflow that works. It’s structured, consistent, and designed to keep newborn sessions smooth and stress-free for everyone—especially baby. Every family who books a session with me gets a pre-session questionnaire. This helps me understand what they’re looking for—specific colors, family heirlooms, poses, or […]

One of the most common questions I hear from new parents is, “Do I really need to be in the photos?” My answer? Absolutely. Your baby will want to see these moments someday, and trust me, you’ll be so glad you have them. Why You Should Be in the Photos I get it—you just had […]

I know that the idea of a newborn photoshoot can feel overwhelming, but my goal is to make this experience as smooth and stress-free as possible for you. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect during your session, from start to finish. 1. Arrival and Getting Settled When you arrive at the studio, the first […]

Bringing your dog to your newborn photography session can be a wonderful way to capture your entire family. But, it’s important to consider a few things first.

I recently had the joy of capturing a sweet newborn session featuring an adorable baby girl, her proud parents, and her doting big sister. Sessions like these remind me why I love what I do!

When it comes to newborn photos, less is more—especially when it comes to outfits. The truth is, newborns often swim in traditional clothing, and it’s usually unflattering in photos. You want to see your little one, not an oversized outfit swallowing them up!

To ensure you get exactly what you want, you can always hire your own photographer. I regularly photograph newborns at hospitals around Indianapolis and Carmel. I’ll come right to the hospital, working with you to capture those precious early moments. I not only photograph the baby (the only service most in-hospital photographers offer) but also capture the bond between the entire family. I call these sessions Fresh 48 session. This is because I come to the hospital within 48 hours of your little one being born.
