Newborn Photography Lexington KY

Newborn sessions are just a tiny window of time where your baby can almost fit in your hands. There are so many emotions during this time and you may be a little overwhelmed by it all. This is all normal and Amy clears her schedule for your Lexington KY newborn photography session and has patience to allow time for diaper changes, feedings, and settling baby back to sleep.

 

Louisville & Lexington KY Newborn Photographer

Think of our photography sessions as a journey through time, where each photo captures a priceless moment, a fleeting expression, or a loving interaction that might otherwise be forgotten. In our fast-paced lives, it's easy to overlook the significance of these everyday moments. That's where my expertise and passion for photography come in.

My goal is to pause these precious moments in time, creating timeless images that you and your family can treasure for generations to come. It's about encapsulating the laughter, the tenderness, the personalities, and the bonds that make your family unique.

Just stay cozy and comfortable in your home for your newborn session, Amy specializes in coming into your Louisville or Lexington area home and photographing your newborn baby. She will bring several things to use for the photos but loves to look around your home and use heirloom blankets or items from your home that you can pass down to your child.

When Amy comes to your home she will walk around and find the best spots for photos based on lighting. Amy will direct you and your partner with everything you need for amazing newborn photos- how to sit or stand, where to look, and also make any detail adjustments from removing the medicine bottle on the nightstand or the diaper rash cream on the changing table!

Just focus on taking care of your new baby and Amy will take care of everything else!

 
I can remember my newborn session with my daughter. She was tucked under my chin on my chest and I closed my eyes and began to tear up just thinking about how thankful I was for her. (Yes, some of those tears could have been because I hadn’t slept in a few days!)

But some of the tears were just having stillness and pause in the newborn session to exhale and really enjoy the moment. I want all my families to be present in every session we have together. This way when they look back on the photos they have deeper meaning. It’s not just a “pose,” it’s a moment.

Heirloom Treasures: Preserve Your Family's Legacy

After your Lexington KY newborn photography session, you will have the opportunity to choose how you would like to use your photos. Most of my families love heirloom albums, a few framed prints, and digital files to have for safe keeping. An heirloom album is a tangible piece of your history. It's not just for you; it's for generations to come. Your future family will get to know your story, your adventures, and your love story through these pages. You will have all your favorite photos at arms reach. No need to plug in the charger to your laptop and find the USB with your photos. All of your favorites are curated into one album, printed beautifully, and tell the story of your family at that moment.
