Simple Sophistication
Those first few weeks with your baby are a beautiful blur—tiny fingers wrapped around yours, sleepy sighs, and that fresh, just-home feeling that fills your heart in ways you didn’t expect.
Before long, those little stretches and sleepy snuggles will turn into wobbly steps and busy days. The newborn phase goes fast—and you deserve to remember it in a way that feels soft, simple, and real.
That’s what studio newborn photography is all about. Designed for newborns and babies under 6 months, these sessions take place in The Lumen Room natural light studios in Downtown Austin or Leander. The setting is calm, minimal, and you are encourage to style your family in soft earth tones that flatter every skin tone—especially your baby’s.
Parents are included in most of the images, with a focus on cozy, connected moments—how you cradle them, the way they rest against your chest, the tenderness in your gaze. No props or stiff poses—just the quiet beauty of your family, captured in an organic and timeless way.
Let’s press pause and preserve this unique time with images you’ll hold close forever.
You treasure the tiny, fleeting details—like wrinkly toes, sleepy yawns, and the way your baby fits perfectly in your arms.
You want heartfelt, natural photos that capture your family just as you are, without the stiff poses or forced smiles.
You believe in preserving this season of life with timeless, soft, and emotive images you’ll cherish forever.
You’re looking for a stress-free, guided experience that ensures every moment feels effortless and meaningful.
"We had such an AMAZING experience with Lindsay as she captured our little family and newborn beautifully! The pictures are stunning and will be cherished forever.
Lindsay is extremely professional and very prompt with communicating. She was happy to answer all of our questions and wanted to make sure she understood our vision for the pictures. Her turn around time on the images was fast and efficient.
She was patient, gentle and kind with our newborn that didn’t always want to cooperate. It’s very clear that she loves her job and strives for perfection. By the end of the photo session, you feel as though you have a lifelong friend. Would highly recommended her and hope to have her capture more of our family moments in the future. "
Here’s what you can expect: From the moment you book your lifestyle newborn session, I’m here to make sure the experience is as easy and meaningful as possible. You’ll start with my "What to Expect and How to Prepare Guide," packed with tips to help you feel confident and ready for the day.
Lifestyle newborn sessions are all about capturing those natural, heart-melting moments—snuggles on the couch, tiny fingers wrapped around yours, and the way your family feels in this fleeting season of life. No stiff poses, no forced smiles. Just love, connection, and the magic of your everyday moments, all in the cozy comfort of your own home.
So, take a deep breath—you’ve got this. And I’ve got you.
Once your little one arrives, text me to schedule a photo shoot date so we can capture their squishy newborn rolls! Lifestyle
newborn shoots are ideally completed in
the first 3 weeks
of life.
This small tip makes a big difference! A little awake time, combined with a feeding before the session helps your baby feel sleepy
and relaxed once we start.
A good tip is to style your shoot with colors that coordinate with your home decor. However, some people prefer the light & airy look which photographs beautifully. Just keep it simple & avoid logos.
The photo shoot will last about 1.5-2 hours. Lifestyle newborn photos are relaxed
and fun. If your life is a little more chaotic
with toddlers or a longer stay in the hospital, this type of shoot is perfect!
