One of the most common questions I get from expecting parents is, “When will my newborn session actually happen?” For newborn sessions, I do not schedule the exact date until after baby arrives. I know that can feel a little strange. Especially if you like having everything planned ahead of time. But babies arrive on […]


One thing parents notice almost immediately when they walk into my studio? It’s warm. Like… really warm. I keep my newborn studio around 80+ degrees during sessions, and yes, there’s a reason for it. Newborn babies are used to being cozy and warm 24/7 before they enter the world. Once they arrive, they still crave […]
Those first few weeks with your baby can feel like a blur. You’re learning everything at once. And if you’re anything like most of my clients, you want it done right. That’s exactly why so many families hire a Whitestown newborn photographer who can guide the entire process. You don’t have to figure this out […]


One of the most common questions I get is this. What is the best age for baby milestone pictures? The answer is simple. The sitter stage. As an Indianapolis newborn photographer, I photograph babies from their first days through their first birthday. And honestly, the sitter stage might be my favorite. What Is a Sitter […]
Let’s be honest — for a lot of families, the dogs are the babies. So when an actual baby arrives, it only makes sense that your four-legged family members get to be part of the celebration too. As an Indianapolis newborn photographer who does a lot of in-home lifestyle newborn photography sessions, I get asked […]


If you spend enough time around newborn sessions, you start to hear the same things over and over again. Every baby is different. Every family is different. But parents tend to say many of the exact same things. After photographing newborns for years, very little surprises me anymore. Babies cry. Toddlers wander. Parents are running […]
One of the most common questions I get as an Indianapolis newborn photographer is this: Is it too late for newborn pictures? Short answer? No. Recently, a sweet family reached out when their baby was almost three months old. Life had been busy. Sleep was limited. Time moved fast. Before they knew it, those early […]


Over the past year, my newborn sessions have shifted in a quiet way. Not dramatically. Not drastically. But intentionally. As an Indianapolis newborn photographer, I’ve always loved beautiful styling and thoughtful setups. I still do. I still guide every pose. I still pay attention to every tiny detail. But lately, I’ve been leaning into something […]
That Sweet Spot Between Baby and Toddler There’s something about the sitter stage that gets me every time. Around 6–8 months, babies are full of expression and joy. They can sit on their own but usually aren’t crawling away yet – which makes it perfect for photos! This age is full of curiosity. Big eyes, […]


This sweet family of three recently came to the studio to celebrate the arrival of their baby girl. Newborn photography in Westfield, Indiana is always special, but this session had an extra fun detail—dad’s tattoos. The contrast of tiny newborn fingers against dad’s tattooed arms made for some of my favorite images. These pictures highlight […]
