The Austin Newborn Experience

Authentic • Delicate • Unscripted

capturing real love and connection with your baby in the early days

My newborn photography style strives on authenticity. As such, your session will be kept simple, using few props, so your baby's true beauty remains at the heart of every image. You can expect images that are light, airy, and filled with warmth, focused on bringing out the real love and connection with your little one.

I aim to create photographs that are more than mere images on a screen. Together we'll build something lasting—beautiful photo artwork you'll be proud to pass down to your children for generations to come.

We had such a wonderful experience with Lydia for our newborn photos! She went above and beyond to make the session smooth, not only for our baby but also for our two young children. She was patient, kind, and incredibly accommodating.

We had a wonderful experience with Lydia! She is so kind, personable, and really takes the time and effort to get the perfect shot! She is also quick with communication for any questions and scheduling promptly. My husband and I have only had professional photographs taken one other time and we were blown away with Lydia’s work! We cannot wait to have our artwork up in our new home!

Katelynn

We’re so glad we went with Lydia Suzanne for our newborn photography photos! It’s such a delicate and precious moment. Lydia was very gentle with our newborn and was very prepared and even gave us great tips on posing and outfits. Her light and airy style matched what we were looking for and the photos came out looking very candid. Overall we were pleased with the results and would definitely recommend her!

Laura

Lydia was a dream to work with. We were nervous about taking newborn pictures and she put all those worries to rest. Lydia was so patient and accommodating during the shoot but her guidance and instruction before the shoot made us most successful. Her experience and talent are unmatched and we are so beyond happy with the results of our session.

FAQs AS AN AUSTIN NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

When should I book my newborn photo session?

I recommend reaching out in your second trimester to ensure availability. We'll use your due date as a placeholder. Simply let me know when your little one arrives and we'll lock in a date. I only take a limited number of sessions per month to allow for plenty of flexibility.

How old should my baby be for a newborn photoshoot?

Ideally, your newborn should be around 10 to 14 days old at the time of the session. However, I will schedule newborn sessions through up to 6 weeks old. Babies grow so incredibly fast, and that first month of life will be best to capture all their tiny features. 

what is your approach to infant safety?

Your baby's comfort and safety is always my number one priority. As a lifestyle newborn photographer, I only perform baby-led, safe poses. Additionally, I have received extensive 1:1 newborn wrapping, posing, and safety training from renowned photographers.

Do you use photo props for your Newborn sessions?

As a lifestyle photographer, I utilize the natural elements already present in your home to create authentic images. Props are very minimal and limited to a simple Moses basket, swaddles, and bows - upon request.

Do you offer printed artwork?

I offer artwork collections that are completely customizable to your needs. Because I would hate for my clients' images to be lost on the cloud, you can choose from multiple custom artwork options including albums, wall art, and matted prints.
