Infant + Newborn Photographer.

for new and expecting parents Desoto County, Mississippi.

Capturing a new arrival is something parents can only do once. To me, everything about God’s creation is worth remembering. Even though dressing newborns up and putting them in cute positions is a lot of fun – taking close ups of their fingernails, hands, toes, scrunchy little faces, wrinkles and even birthmarks make the session special. From here on out, kids grow so fast!

For those of you that would like to also capture your child’s progression, I also specialize in portraits for infants and toddlers. We can book some time in the studio or explore Desoto County with your little one! Either way, before we let the camera roll, it’s a good idea that we talk about your ideas and expectations.

When it comes to special occasions, a quality product is very important to me. So is the comfort of you and your family. With 6 kids, I’ve taken lots of pictures! But every client is unique. So I do my best to be mindful of your expectations.

"She checked in with me to see how I was doing in those final months of pregnancy and when we were ready for our little girls arrival she was on call and ready to be there the next day. We were so comfortable with her and the pictures are beautiful! We can’t thank her enough!"

"The finished product surpassed expectations. We loved the pictures so much we purchased our entire gallery. Would definitely use her again and recommend her to others looking for a family or special event photographer. The hour flew by without feeling painful at all."

FAQ's About Newborn + Infant Photography

Do you offer studio or on-location Services?

I have two different studios on my property in Olive Branch, MS and 2 acres to take pictures on. I don’t mind traveling if you have a place in mind – otherwise we can figure something out together. I have a few suggestions.

What Are the Challenges of Newborn Portraits?

In my opinion, adjusting and positioning the baby is difficult when it’s not your child. This is why I think it’s important to build some familiarity with each other beforehand. I know how delicate they are at that age and it can be kind of nerve-wracking to say the least. Baby cooperation and working around naps or feeding time can also be a little challenging. This is where communication helps. Since a number of things can unexpectedly sidetrack a photo shoot with a newborn infant, I usually schedule sessions in two-hour intervals.

How Many Days in Advance Should I Schedule?

I prefer that potential clients inquire at least a week in advance. Since I do have a large family, this gives me time to plan ahead and work with you in an efficient manner. If you’re hosting an event or looking for post-delivery pictures (at the hospital), then I’ll need at least a few weeks to prepare. Some of my photoshoots require me to travel and I can’t guarantee availability. At the same time, I haven’t had many booking issues in the past. Even with my fresh 48 sessions.

What Kinds of Props & Settings Should I Bring?

I provide an array of options – but if you have some meaningful belongings, I recommend that you bring them along. Some examples include objects with your child’s name on them, favorite stuffed animals or blankets, and personalized outfits. Let me know if you want to use a specific prop that you don’t have. I’ll do my best to supply it for you.

How Does Your Portable Newborn Studio Work?

First and foremost, we have to make sure you have ample lighting at your home or the location we’ll be shooting at. This could be a nice wall of windows or even on the front porch. My pop up studio can be put together anywhere with at least 10x10ft of space. It simply consists of pvc piping and different colored backdrops. I also have some flooring options as well. Good communication on the front end helps me determine all I need to bring.

How do we Keep Baby Calm During Pictures?

This is where my motherly experience comes in handy. What I normally do is schedule newborn portraits during a routine nap time. We’ll also want to make sure baby has a full tummy and that he or she is cozy. All of the props I use are fairly soft to encourage this. If they’re not feeling well, uncomfortable or hungry it can be a long 2 hours. It tends to be a lot easier if I set up in your home so you have everything you need handy. Otherwise, I provide a quiet environment with al the baby supplies you need. If you have a fussy baby, we can work together to soothe them. I have a few tricks I’ve learned over the years that may help.
