This summer, I had the sweetest honor of welcoming Baby James into the world through a newborn photography session at Lemon Drop Studios. I loved capturing Kelsey and Conner’s maternity photos earlier this year, and as fellow Aggies, they immediately felt like old friends. They are the sweetest couple, and I was beyond excited to see them again with their precious baby boy finally in their arms.

As a Dallas-based photographer, I know firsthand how challenging Texas summers can be—hot, humid, and honestly not the most comfortable for a brand-new family adjusting to life with a newborn. That’s why I always recommend studio newborn photography sessions in the summer.

Here’s why:

• The studio is beautifully decorated and styled, so you get that cozy, in-home feel without the stress of tidying your own space.
• It’s cool and comfortable, making the experience more enjoyable for everyone (especially your baby!).
• You can relax knowing that the space is ready for you, even amidst the whirlwind of newborn life and sleepless nights.

This session was pure magic. Little James gave us the cutest smiles and sleepy baby snuggles from start to finish. Every image is full of love, joy, and connection.

My heart is in documenting motherhood from the very beginning, from announcement photos, to maternity portraits, and finally newborn sessions once your baby arrives.

If you’re expecting and looking for a Dallas newborn photographer, I’d love to create these memories for your family. Whether in your home or at a beautiful studio, your story deserves to be told with care and artistry. Ready to capture your own story?
