hello.

There are enough decisions to be made regarding your baby; choosing the perfect Kansas City newborn photographer shouldn't be a stressful one! With almost 20 years of experience as a newborn photographer and 20 years (including 3 kids) of parenting experience, you can be assured that your newborn baby will be in great hands!
All newborn sessions include:
{experienced and patient photographer
{your choice of an in-home or studio session
{tips for creating a perfect session
{use of props and newborn swaddles and outfits
{studio wardrobe for moms
{options to include parents and siblings
{a no-rush environment and experience, allowing ample time for feeding and cuddling
{quick sneak peek for you to share on social media
{2 week turn-around on proofs

Newborn sessions are best scheduled BEFORE baby is born! Contact me towards the end of your second trimester to start planning your session. That gives us plenty of time to chat about your vision for your session and allows me time to acquire anything for your session that I don't already have in my collection.
If you did wait until late in your pregnancy or already have a baby in your arms, DON'T WORRY!! I always leave room for newborn sessions and will happily schedule your family!

Baby's First Year Packages
Because your baby's first year will FLY by, only.young.once offers several very popular packages that allow you sessions at each major milestone within your baby's first year. Each month will sneak up on you and having a pre-paid package makes it so much easier to schedule those sessions and not worry about missing a cute stage!

The Studio
The studio offers a private and elegant atmosphere for your newborn session. Clients can provide swaddles, props and accessories or can choose from a wide range of provided items. All sessions include the use of gowns for moms as well as all of the newborn items in the studio.
The studio also offers a restroom, sofa area with a TV, snack area and play area for families bringing older siblings. I want you to feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible during your baby's photography debut!
