Carmel Indiana Newborn Photography by KristeenMarie

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.

Newborns are always a joy to capture, but when siblings are involved, the energy is so much fun! This session was filled with lots of snuggles, kisses, and plenty of laughter. It’s always amazing to capture the first few weeks when everyone is still getting to know each other. The love and excitement in the air made it such a memorable session.

Watching families grow is one of my favorite parts of being a photographer. I recently had the joy of capturing this sweet baby girl’s journey. From her time as a bump in her mom’s tummy during the maternity session to her adorable newborn session, it’s been a beautiful experience.

It’s no secret, I think that I have the best job in the world! As a newborn photographer, I get to be a part of the most precious moments in a family’s life. Every day, I witness love, joy, and the magic of new life. From capturing tiny toes to documenting first smiles, my work is filled with unforgettable memories. Here are six reasons why being a newborn photographer is truly the best job ever.

I had the pleasure of photographing the most adorable little family recently. They are eagerly awaiting their new addition!
