Things Parents Always Say During Newborn Sessions (And What I Say Back) – From An Indianapolis Newborn Photographer

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 […]

Older Newborn Photography in Indianapolis – Is 3 Months Too Late?

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 […]

Behind the Scenes of a Studio Newborn Session with an Indianapolis Newborn Photographer

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 […]

Why the Sitter Milestone Is One of My Favorite Stages to Photograph

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, […]

Newborn Photography in Westfield, Indiana – Family of Three Session

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 […]

Beach Baby Cake Smash – Indianapolis Photographer

I recently had the sweetest first birthday session in my Indianapolis studio. The theme was beach balls, and it was so much fun! This little guy had the most blue, blue eyes you’ve ever seen. They popped in every image. He was happy from start to finish. First, we captured some simple portraits. Then, he […]

Meet This Gorgeous Newborn Girl – Westfield Studio Session

Sweet Emilia came to my Zionsville studio from nearby Westfield—and she was a dream to photograph. She had a full head of dark hair and the brightest blue eyes. No surprise there—both mom and dad have stunning blue eyes too. This family made my job easy. We started with a few wrapped poses to help […]

Why I Sometimes Break My Newborn Workflow (And How It Pays Off)

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 […]

Taylor Swift-Themed 1st Birthday Cake Smash – Indianapolis Photographer

The setup included a friendship bracelet backdrop with all the sparkle and shimmer you’d expect from a Taylor-inspired shoot. The birthday girl’s outfit was absolutely perfect—she wore a stunning purple lace dress adorned with butterflies that matched the vibe beautifully.

How to Choose the Perfect Outfit for Your Baby for Your Newborn Photography Session

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!
