I absolutely hate it when one of my clients comes to me with a horror story about their past experience with a photographer. It is especially heartbreaking when they tell me about a dud or even dangerous Newborn Session!
Hiring an educated & skillful photographer will be more expensive than finding someone who is "just starting out" or doesn't specialize in newborns.
But, your baby will never be this little again & having wonderful portraits to look back on will never be something you regret.
This is the list!
I have done the research for you & have broken it down by location.
There might be a bit of travel involved. But, If you want a spectacular Newborn Session in Central Texas these ladies are ready to astonish you!

Jodi Crocker - Jodi Crocker Photography
Jodi specializes in newborn photography that is organic and timeless in style to showcase those beautiful details of the baby.
She began portrait photography in 2011. Jodi is also an RN & her experience as a nurse taught her great discipline and time management. While caring for patients, it allowed her to understand the real value of good customer service. She held a hand and comforted family members in final moments and with that, she truly understands how beautiful, timeless images can enrich our lives. After all, it's all we have to remember how we felt in a moment in time.
Photography is not only an outlet for Jodi to be creative, but also to show the world how she sees beauty. We live in such a fast paced world that we need a way to freeze time, to remember the moments.

Karyn Carbone - In Bloom Photography
Karyn has been photographing newborns and families in the Big Country since 2009. She enjoys watching her client families grow and telling each unique family's story as they go through each season of life!
After mastering the studio approach to newborn photography, Karyn and her family moved abroad to the country of Panama where they served in the mission field and enjoyed mountain living for 3 years.
Since returning stateside about a year and half ago, Karyn is transitioning to the lifestyle approach to newborn photography because she enjoys capturing real moments of motherhood and family life.

When not behind the camera, Karyn is a devoted wife and homeschool mom of 3 kiddos, and she enjoys cooking, baking, painting, mosaic art, and spending time with her tribe of girlfriends whenever possible!
