Welcome! I'm Katelyn! I'm a Dallas family and newborn photographer based in Canton. My love for photography started with my own children when they were just little ones. I saw first hand just how quick it all goes and wanted to document the early years. I would be honored to capture this sweet season of your family's life. Newborn sessions are my passion and hold such a huge place in my heart. You will never regret having them to look back on.

Your postpartum recovery is always the most important thing when considering timing for your session. We want you to be physically able to do the session and feel comfortable. I have found that the sweet spot for newborn sessions is between 2-3 weeks after birth and can even be shot to up to 2 months old. Parents (especially first time) are typically a little less stressed and more relaxed if the session is not immediately after they arrive home from the hospital.

Indoor newborn sessions typically take place in the mornings. Babies tend to be happier and sleepier in the mornings. We also want to take in consideration of what time of day the light is best in your home!

Feedings, diaper changes, and soothing the baby can take a good chunk of the time during a session. We want to make sure the baby is content and comfortable, so we work around their schedule and happiness! Patience is key with these sessions!

Book your session while you are in your 2nd trimester to guarantee my availability! I only take a handful of newborn sessions a month, that can book up to 6 months in advance!

I prefer the focus to be on your sweet baby and your family. In my lifestyle sessions, the baby will not be put into unnatural positions or posed. We will take the baby's lead! I do have swaddles (a variety of neutrals and different textures, pink, white, blue, 2 Beaufort Bonnet Bow Swaddles), and a Moses basket that I bring to sessions that are available for client's use if they choose!

I do light retouching on all of my images. This means that if there are any glaring objects that should be removed (such as a bump from the tumble your toddler took that morning,) I'll remove it. I will also do light retouching on any baby acne. Larger edits (such as removing tan lines,) require more time and would require me to add additional editing hours to your collection.

q:
I take a certain number of due dates per month. Once you are booked and I have your due date- you will keep me updated on either an induction date or within 24 hours after you deliver! From there, we will pick a date within those next weeks that work best for both of our schedules (and/or a studio!).
