Carmel, Indiana Newborn Photographer for Growing Families With Multiple Kids

As a Carmel, Indiana newborn photographer, I work with a lot of growing families. Families adding a second, third, or even fourth baby. Families wondering how the older kids will do. That question comes up every time. This session was a good reminder that big siblings matter just as much as the baby. That is […]

Four Kids, One Sweet Session – Carmel Indiana Newborn Photography

I’ve photographed this family for years, so walking into the studio felt easy. The girls knew the drill. They were excited. And they could not wait to introduce me to their new baby brother. When I work with a larger family, I slow the pace right away. Kids move fast. So I keep things calm […]

What an In-Home Newborn Session Looks Like in Indianapolis

Most families hire me for studio newborn photography. If you scroll my portfolio, you’ll see plenty of those sessions. They’re clean, controlled, and easy for new parents. But I also adore in-home lifestyle newborn sessions. I get to see each family’s space, and every home is different. The light shifts, the angles change, and the […]

Why Indianapolis Families Return for Newborn Photography

I loved having this sweet family back in the studio! I photographed their son as a newborn a few years ago, and now they’re back with baby girl number two. There’s something special about seeing families grow. I still remember their first session. This time, big brother was full of energy (as most three-year-olds are), […]

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 […]

Why the Last Baby Deserves Newborn Photos Just as Much as the First

As an Indianapolis newborn photographer and a mom of three, I’ve taken newborn pictures of all my kids. No question. It was never something I debated or put off. But when my third baby arrived, it hit different. He was our last. And suddenly, those newborn photos weren’t just about the baby—they were about our […]

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!

Why You Should Schedule Your Newborn Session Before Baby Arrives

I only schedule 7-10 newborns per month. This allows me to give each family the time and attention they deserve. However, because of this, my calendar fills up quickly. If you wait until after baby is born to book, you may miss your spot. If you baby is here, it never hurts to reach out and ask if I have any openings, but it’s best to book before baby arrives!

How to Prepare Middle and High Schoolers for a Newborn Photo Session

When a new baby arrives, it’s a big change for everyone, including older siblings. Teens and pre-teens often have mixed feelings about having a newborn in the house. They might be excited or a little hesitant. Some might want to hold the baby all day, while others might feel a bit distant or unsure. Both reactions are completely normal, and understanding these differences is key to a successful newborn photo session.
