Zionsville Newborn Photographer

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!

The family’s beloved dog joined us for this session, making it extra special. Including pets in sessions is always fun, and this pup did a great job! We captured sibling-style shots with the dog and even included the whole family for a few beautiful portraits. It’s clear this little girl is so loved by everyone, including her furry sibling.

Every family is different, and I always make sure to customize sessions to match each family’s unique style. This session was all about simplicity, connection, and love. It was such an honor to capture these moments for this sweet family.

In those early days, babies are naturally sleepy and love being swaddled up, making it the perfect time for those adorable, squishy poses. Their flexibility and sleepiness allow for those cozy, curled-up positions we all adore. The images in this post are all from a baby who was 10 days old. These moments pass quickly, and these photos are a wonderful way to capture them forever.

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!

Zionsville has a charming brick-paved Main Street. It’s one of the few remaining in the country and perfect for a leisurely stroll. There are great shops and it’s the perfect urban setting for family pictures! Check out the session below for an example.If you are looking for outfits for an upcoming family photography session the shops here have you covered! My two favorite shops are Southern Fancy and Vintage Charm. Both places have stylish clothing and staff that are super helpful! Just tell them what occasion you are looking for in terms of an outfit and they will find you the perfect thing.

But that’s not all! Mom is a huge Halloween fan, so we couldn’t resist adding in some Fall and Halloween-themed shots. Pumpkins, spiders, bats, and all the cozy Fall feels made these moments extra special. It was the perfect blend of whimsy and seasonal fun.

Big families bring a different energy. The studio buzzes with excitement and fun. There’s always someone with a something going on. Coordinating everyone can be a bit of a puzzle, but that’s part of the fun. The result is always worth it—a beautiful, dynamic portrait that showcases each member’s place in the family.

This amazing family has been trying to grow their family for years via adoption. They finally got their placement and only had a few hours’ notice. Can you imagine?! I couldn’t be more excited for them on this journey into parenthood of two kiddos.

Preparing twins for a newborn session can seem daunting, but these steps will help ensure a smooth experience. Can’t wait to capture beautiful moments with your little ones!
