If you’re a new mom, here’s a universal truth nobody warns you about: newborns do not care about your aesthetic vision, your schedule, or the pile of clean-but-unfolded laundry you keep “meaning” to put away. (Isn’t that the best though?! Your kids love you no matter what you look or smell like!)
And yet, somehow, that’s exactly when you decide you should probably have newborn photos done.
Cue panic.
But hear me out — this is exactly why studio newborn sessions are basically a gift from the universe.
No cleaning required. Zero. None. Not even the fake tidy where you stuff things in closets.
You just show up! Let me do it all! I’ve got backdrops, lighting, props, heaters, wraps, cute little outfits made just for their tiny size…and coffee… because you haven’t slept and that’s important. Oh! and snacks! …because on the morning of pictures, you probably didn’t have time to eat either!
And speaking of lighting — can we just acknowledge that not all houses are created equal?
Studio lighting doesn’t care if you have one tiny window or a beautifully dark room that vibes like a vampire novel. It’s perfect every time, no matter what your house is doing. It’s flattering and makes you glow and look absolutely beautiful! No more dark circles under your eyes!
Then there’s the baby “stuff.” Babies come with so many accessories it feels like you’re packing for a miniature celebrity. Studio means you don’t have to load the car with every questionable swaddle, blanket, stuffed animal, and sound machine you own. It’s already here — coordinated, clean, sanitized and ready to go.
Also, your newborn will pee and/or poop during the session. It’s not optional. It’s not personal. The studio is built for this level of chaos. I’ve seen things. I’m prepared. We carry on.
And for moms with older kids — studio sessions earn bonus points: siblings can snack, chill, and hop in for photos without you worrying about them running through your freshly staged living room like it’s NASCAR. They can play with toys and blocks and pop back in on pics, or after family and sibling, dad can take the others for a bit and come back while I focus on baby!
At the end of it, you leave with beautiful heirloom artwork, albums, and wall prints that look intentional — not like you held your breath for two hours hoping nobody zooms in on a laundry basket.
If you’re in Big Spring, Midland, Odessa, San Angelo, Abilene, or Lubbock, that little drive to the studio is the difference between stress and “wow, that was actually easy.” Totally worth it!
So if you’re expecting a baby soon (or you’re in the thick of “third trimester brain” right now), studio might just be your new favorite parenting hack. Or if you just delivered and spaced on newborn photos because you couldn’t find a studio, here I am! Come see me!
Because newborns don’t stay tiny for long (and the sleepy phase disappears faster than your postpartum snacks), I take a limited number of due dates each month so sessions stay calm, intentional, and high-touch. Babies tend to come at their own pace, so I make sure I can work them in!
If you’re expecting in 2026, especially spring/summer due dates, now is the time to get on my calendar — once they’re gone, they’re gone, and I hate turning families away when baby has already arrived. When I say I love a good baby snuggle… I sure do!
My studio located in Big Spring, Texas and loved by families from Midland, Odessa, San Angelo, Abilene, and Lubbock — totally worth the drive, totally worth the experience, and totally stress-free.
