Hello there,
NEWBORNs
The most popular photography service we offer our clients is newborn sessions!
From the fleeting squishy baby cheeks to the technicality of studio lighting I can't get enough!
I love providing my new parent clients with a flexible and understanding environment for their newborn photography! Some of the flexible options include being able to choose whether I come to them in their home for the session or they come to the studio space. I also have client wardrobe, baby wraps, and simple outfits; all so parents can have their newborn session with the least amount of stress possible.
Sibling, parent, and baby alone portraits are always included!
Studio or In-Home Newborn sessions begin at $465.

"Our photo session with Cayton was amazing. She is so welcoming and made us feel very comfortable! She went out of her way to make sure our toddler was happy with plenty of snacks and toys, has a beautiful wardrobe to pick from and was so understanding when we had a mix up on times for our session. Our picture turned out beautiful and her turn around was quick. Cayton is sweet and professional and I will be recommending her to our family and friends!" - Sabrina
"Cayton is such a joy to work with! She has an eye for capturing such beautiful shots and the whole experience is so fun and enjoyable. She puts so much thought and time into delivering exceptional photos that are above and beyond what you could even ask for. Her work is definitely something you’ll cherish forever and are such timeless pieces to share with friends/family and to display in your home. She’s the best!" - Jayden
