Concord, NC Newborn Photography

Welcome to WORLD, Baby Maximiliano!

Guys…when I say I love my job, I mean–I. LOVE. MY. JOB. This sweet family came to the newborn photography studio a few weeks ago, but that wasn’t the first time we met. I had the honor of capturing this gorgeous mommy for a beautiful golden hour maternity shoot.

And yes, you can definitely read all about that session–right here! Mommy was gorgeous and glowing and had the rest of the family dressed to perfection for the shoot as well. During that shoot, mom revealed she was having a BOY!! And I was super excited for his arrival. We bonded over having two girls and then a boy and talked about how the dynamic was about to change. I was just ITCHING to get this little guy into the studio. And just LOOK at how amazing his session was…are you ready?

New Baby Photography

Welcome to the World, Baby Owen!

“I spent many sleepless nights during my pregnancy asking for referrals and searching on Facebook for a newborn photographer. I fell in love with Katie’s photographs and was so excited when I was able to lock her in for my newborn session. Once Owen arrived, I scheduled my session within the first week. She was fabulous with my son, her studio is so nice, very clean and she did not disappoint. She supplied all the props, had sound machines to calm my baby, and he was like putty in her hands. I couldn’t be happier with our photographs and can’t wait to schedule a family session later this year. I highly recommend Katie, she is very talented and I’m so glad she was able to capture my baby’s first photographs.” ~Amy

Y’all. Words like these make my heart SING!!! All the hearts. All the CAPS. ALL. THE. FEELS. I love my job; I love capturing these tiny babies. I love the challenge of newborns, capturing the tiny details and the big moments. Every little thing about it. And Owen’s session was no different. Just look at all the cuteness that we captured:

He was so sweet during his entire session. I think he whimpered maybe once near the end. Mom and dad were perfect and trusting and sat back watching the magic of the session. Mom told me she wanted earth tones, neutrals, and possibly some blues and grays. I told her she came to the right spot! The studio is completely stocked with all things neutral, classic, and earth tones galore. Mom had a blast browsing the different props and layers that are all over the studio. To say this was a perfect fit on all levels is an accurate assumption. Can’t wait to see this little guy grow in his milestones!

Newborn Photography | Ballantyne, NC

Welcome to the World, Baby Leo!

This sweet little nugget came to the studio with her doting parents. I am a volunteer photographer at Elevation Church (Gaston campus–WOOT!), where mommy and daddy work. It was just a perfect opportunity to be able to capture this sweet family (who also has midwestern roots–like me!). And just look at the amazing newborn photos we were able to photograph!

We chose a simple and clean palette for Baby Leo’s session, making the focus clearly on her and her beauty. The studio is well equipped with layers, headbands, outfits, wraps, props and backdrops–so all you need to do is just show up for your session! I also remind parents to contact me as soon as baby is born—like directly from the hospital–so we can schedule the date of your session and we can get your little nugget in the studio in a timely manner (the first ten days of life are ideal, but I have had success with a little older newborns as well). Once parents contact me, I send out the Studio Guide for parents to follow. I always say it’s a guideline and the babies will always call the shots, but to follow it as best as they can so I can do my job. That way, I can capture all the cuteness in all these sweet little poses! This mommy and daddy followed those guides to a ‘T’! And even made sure to contact me right away when Baby Leo was born.

Sometimes parents know exactly what they want or they have a Pinterest page with the poses they have their heart set on. I always say it’s good to have an idea, but since baby calls the shots throughout the session, it’s best to keep an open mind. I promise we will get gorgeous images of your precious one. My style is timeless and classic. This mommy and daddy sat back and let me take the reigns, which I’m all too happy to do so!

No matter what, I PROMISE you will have gorgeous newborn images decorating your entire home of your little one, just like Baby Leo’s mommy and daddy do.

Welcome to the World, Baby Ella!

This sweet bundle of love came to the studio and was full of so much peace–she slept the entire time without a fuss! Mom, dad and big sister were all too excited to watch her session. Mom wanted soft neutral colors that would stand the test of time. I told her she came to the right place! Soft neutrals are my JAM! We showcased all of baby Ella’s features without overpowering them. And mom had a BLAST going through the studio’s outfits and headbands that were made specifically for photography. That’s RIGHT! You get to go through all my goodies as well, when you book my services! My collection of headbands, bonnets, hats, layering pieces, outfits and so much more!

Take a look at all the cuteness we captured:

Dilworth Newborn Photographer ~ Baby Zane

Welcome to the World, Baby Boy!

This little guy came to the studio for his newborn photos with his whole family, who was super excited to welcome him into the world. Big brother was so, extremely proud to show off his new partner in crime and mom and dad loved seeing this new brotherly bond that will last a lifetime.

Mom reached out to me when she was in her second trimester, looking to schedule Zane’s newborn photos. This was a perfect amount of time to plan ahead and make sure she could secure a spot on my schedule. She had looked at my portfolio and loved the neutral and organic look that I use to showcase baby (and not overpower baby). This allows for timeless and classic pieces that can be confidently hung in your home for a lifetime without the risk of “falling into the trends.”

Mom knew she wanted to capture big brother with Baby Zane, so she booked the Deluxe Package, which includes images with parents and siblings. She also booked this package because she wanted many different looks and setups, which the Deluxe Package allows. She mentioned that she initially chose me as their newborn photographer because of my style and my training--and then finally because of my business etiquette. What a TRUE COMPLIMENT! Since all my clients are treated with VIP status–it was amazing to hear this first hand. And just look at the amazing images you will get for your home:
