Are newborn photos worth it?

Whether you choose to have your newborn photo session in my Syracuse studio or a laid back session in your home, I will provide everything we need. From props and swaddles, to dresses and toddler clothing. I’ve got you covered and I’ll help in every way I can!

Let's face it, the first few weeks with a newborn can be hectic. During our session, you can relax and enjoy the experience knowing that every precious moment is being expertly captured. From scheduling the session all the way to selecting the perfect prints, I'll take care of every detail, allowing you to focus on what matters most – bonding with your baby.

Emily did an INCREDIBLE job with our newborn photo shoot. She was also very accommodating for time and last minute booking. She helped us feel so comfortable and really captured our style in absolutely precious moments. I was so happy with how our gallery turned out and I can’t stop staring at the photos. Amazing work and would highly recommend!!

Something changed in me when I had kids. I started understanding the concept of time and how quickly it really does pass you by. I’ve built my business for over 7 years focusing on families and what makes them unique. I want to highlight your love, your connection and relationships, and your personalities.

When it comes to styling and posing, I believe in keeping things simple and natural. My goal is to capture babies as they are, without overwhelming them with elaborate props or setups. Instead, I prefer to focus on timeless and classic poses that showcase you and your family naturally.

I’m Emily-Your new bestie

I offer wardrobe styling for every session booked! I get to know your family and your style personality, and then build a custom style guide just for you!

Bonus* You’ll also have access to my client closet for Mommas and kiddos! Everything I have is available for your session.

Styling your family for pictures has never been easier! Let me take that off your plate so you can focus on what really matters - your family

Emily was very flexible and compassionate with me during a very stressful time of coming home with a newborn. She was patient and understanding with me--made it so easy. You can really trust her to take care of everything. I am so happy we chose Emily Kae photography. The photos that we have to last a lifetime were worth every penny.

FAQs

  • I typically hold my newborn sessions mid-morning on week days. If you have a conflict with the time, early afternoon is also an option, but I find mid-morning is the perfect time for babies and older siblings alike.

  • I have extensive experience with working with children of all ages, and understand it's hard to hold the interest of a young kiddo. That's why I always do any sibling shots first so that we get their images done when I first get there and the excitement is still high. If possible, I suggest having a friend or family member there to help with entertaining any older siblings while I work with parents and newborns. It always alleviates stress when you're not concerned your older children are unattended and allows you to focus on your newest little.

  • Working with newborns, this is a high probability. I'm very good with settling newborns and have years of experience in newborn sessions. That being said, if your newborn doesn't want to fall asleep, then we'll get amazing cuddly images of you rocking and consoling your baby. Newborn images don't have to be one certain way. They're a way to document this new and special time in your life, so we'll take their cues and take beautiful and precious images.

  • Like I said earlier, I have an entire closet at your disposal. You can borrow anything your heart desires and I can promise you're going to feel so confident in these choices.

    I also create a custom inspiration board for every family. I help with styling for moms, dads, kiddos, you name it. I'll add the colors you prefer, and build a wardrobe based on the places you usually shop. That way you can either go out and get something new and special for your photos, or shop your own closet and find things that are similar to our style guide!
