AUSTIN NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER 

NEWBORN PHOTOS WITH SAFE POSING AND A STUDIO DESIGNED WITH BABIES IN MIND

Most Austin newborn photographers focus only on getting cute poses, but I prioritize safety first. With professional training and ten years of experience, I create beautiful portraits while ensuring your baby is completely safe and comfortable throughout the entire session.

I'm Jen, and I've been an Austin newborn photographer for over ten years. My Leander studio is set up specifically for newborn sessions—the lighting, the temperature, the props, everything is designed around making this easy and safe for your tiny human.

Newborn photography is an art—making sure little fingers are perfect, the lighting is right, and baby is safe and cozy. You'll get gorgeous images that capture your baby's first days exactly as they should be remembered.

Working With Your Austin Newborn Photographer

timing & booking

As your Austin newborn photographer, I recommend booking your newborn session during your second trimester. If you're also planning maternity photos, ask me about Bump to Baby packages that include both sessions and save you $475 plus include professional hair & makeup for your maternity session. Newborn sessions are best scheduled within the first 3 weeks after birth, when babies are still sleepy and naturally curl into those sweet poses we all love. I do have extensive experience doing newborn photography with babies up to 3 months of age.

Sessions take place in my Leander studio, about 20 minutes from downtown Austin. Temperature controlled for baby's comfort, fully equipped with props and accessories, everything we need is here.

Your Long-Term Austin family photographer

This newborn session is just the beginning. My favorite clients are the ones who come back for milestone sessions, then family portraits, and eventually maternity photos for baby number two.

I get to watch families grow and kids develop personalities. The trust and comfort level that builds over multiple sessions shows in the images—everyone relaxes because they know what to expect from me as their Austin family photographer.

When you book newborn + milestone sessions together, you get priority booking for all future sessions. As your family grows, I'm here to document it.

what happens next

After booking your newborn photography session, we'll stay in touch as your due date approaches. Once baby arrives, we'll schedule your session within that ideal first two weeks. I handle all the setup and posing—you focus on enjoying this special time with your newest family member.

You'll see previews within 48 hours and receive your final edited gallery within 7 to 10 days. All images come in both color and black & white versions, high-resolution and yours to print wherever you want.

She has an incredible talent for capturing real, heartfelt moments without anything ever feeling awkward or forced. Her warm energy helped us relax and enjoy every minute, and the photos… WOW.

Jen was such an amazing photographer to work with! Her communication, professionalism, and overall vibe was everything we could have asked for. As a couple who is not the most photogenic, and definitely awkward in front of the camera, Jen worked her magic and our photos came out incredible. We would work with her again in a heartbeat!
- Catherine

I’m absolutely overjoyed with the way Jen captured my very special journey. Her presence was pleasant and very welcoming while her skills with the camera is nothing more than exceptional! I highly recommend her if you want lasting memories that will last a lifetime!!
