Newborn Photo Session
Newborn Photography Sessions capture your baby’s first days of life in a creative and timeless way. There is nothing more beautiful than newborn pictures, and Lindsay knows the importance of preserving your family’s most precious moments. As an award-winning newborn photographer, Lindsay provides a newborn photoshoot which captures the love of the family with your newborn baby as well as posed photos of the newborn alone. By combining both lifestyle and portrait photography, Lindsay is able to create stunning newborn pictures that celebrate you and the beautiful life you created.
Our Style
Lindsay’s style to newborn photography is clean, timeless and minimalistic, with an emphasis on your baby as the beautiful artistic subject. As an Austin newborn photographer, Lindsay loves to use soft colors such as white, creams, grays and pastels. All props are provided for the shoot, but clients may also provide their own if they want.
Scheduling
Lindsay recommends capturing newborn portraits in the first 4-12 days when your baby is very sleepy and flexible. This is the best time to capture those precious curled-up poses. Keep in mind that once beyond those first days, sleepy, curled poses will be difficult and most likely impossible to capture. As Lindsay’s schedule fills up months in advance, please contact us as soon as possible to ensure availability.
Fresh 48
Another option offered by Lindsay Herkert Photography for capturing your newborn is Fresh 48 photos. Fresh 48 photography is a special session for those new families who want the first few hours of their newborn’s life captured without having the entire birth documented. Held within the first 24-48 hours of your baby’s life, these newborn photoshoots are perfect for remembering that first day forever. Baby photos during this session focus on capturing your little one’s first yawns and precious baby feet, along with quiet moments between you and your newborn.
Fresh 48 Scheduling
Lindsay visits you at your place of birth in Austin, TX within 48 hours. This is not a traditional newborn session; your newborn will not be posed and there will not be props. This will just be the freshest moments captured in a natural way.

Lindsay is an outstanding photographer! It is truly an experience working with such a professional and gifted photographer who is so friendly and easy to work with! I highly recommend Lindsay. My headshots for the next phase in my career have come out better than what I would have imagined and so grateful to Lindsay for that! Can't wait to work with Lindsay for our family photos next!

Lindsay is excellent at what she does. Our family had a wonderful experience with her and the photographs are mind blowing. This is our first maternity photoshoot ever and we are happy to say we will go back to Lindsay for our next event. Lindsay is very responsive, accommodative, relaxed and fun photographer. I have a 4 year old who hates to pose for photographs. Guess what, Lindsay got around that easily and got him engaged for an hour. Lastly, my goal was to make my wife Happy and worth the effort. I am happy to say Lindsay knocked it out of the park. Highly recommend her.

Lindsay is an absolute dream to work with! We have been lucky enough to have her shoot both our family photos and maternity photos a year apart. I was blown away with the results each time. She perfectly captured the moments we wanted to hold on to forever. We will continue to work with her in the future as our family grows.

My wife and I did a mini bluebonnet session with Lindsay and she did a wonderful job! She let us include our dog and she was super accommodating to make it a mini maternity photo session for my wife who was 36 weeks pregnant. The photos were ready super quick and the website for accessing the photos was simple and convenient. Thanks Lindsay!

Lindsay did an amazing job working with our large extended family of 15. We get to spend lots of time together, but have never taken the time to have someone else capture those moments. We are so happy we now have this beautiful images to cherish. Lindsay was helpful on choosing a beautiful location, different groupings of our family, and even encouraged us to have some fun photos/less posed--that turned out to be some of our favorites. We can't wait to work with Lindsay again in the future.

We just had our family pictures taken by Lindsay. She did a great job! Very friendly and easy to work with. We will definitely be scheduling Spring pictures with her! I also think her pricing is pretty reasonable as well. You won’t regret!

Lindsay does a fantastic job taking family photos! My family has used Lindsay a couple of times for our family photos and we are very happy for the photos she took. You will not be disappointed in selecting her. She is very responsive, professional, and edits your photos and gets them to you in a timely manner! :)

WOW! Don’t have enough wonderful things to say about Lindsay! She did our extended family photos last week and we were ALL so impressed with her (even the guys that don’t normally like to take pictures!!). She kept our crew of 18 people moving and got through all the shots we wanted in no time, even with kids and babies in tow. She captured such precious moments of our families and will cherish these pictures for generations to come. Lindsay was a dream to work with on the back end as well, very responsive and organized, and we had our edited prints back in days!!! She is warm and friendly so much FUN to work with!! We’re already thinking of what occasion we can hire her again for!!

Lindsay was a dream to work with! We did a mini session with our 4mo newborn and Lindsay far exceeded our expectations. From the get go, she responded quickly and answered all of our questions. As first time parents and wanting to get family photos done, we had no idea what to expect. Lindsay made us feel comfortable and made the session fun and easy. She had our photos to us in a matter of days and they are beautiful! We would absolutely use her again in the future and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to refer her to family and friends. Thank you again!

Lindsay is a great photographer and I can't recommend her enough. We did a family photoshoot with her. I wanted perfect fall colors and the golden hour light for our shoot. Lindsay was so accommodating regarding it and moved around shoot day to make sure we achieve both things. The photoshoot itself was amazing. She made the whole experience a breeze. I was nervous how my 3 year old will be but Lindsay was able to make her pose and smile and the photos turned out great.
Tehreem F.
We thoroughly enjoyed our downtown family session with Lindsay! She was able to capture some truly sweet and special moments with our energetic 2 year old. The pictures were ready in a week and we love them! We look forward to working with Lindsay again in the future as our family continues to grow!

Lindsay has so much talent and a great eye. We've been doing family photos for years and this is the first year where I feel like we really nailed it. Lindsay is wonderful at getting your best angles. We will definitely use her again. I LOVE our holiday photos!

Lindsay captured our family holiday photos this year and we love them! She was great with our three tween boys and the photos are great! We recommend Lindsay!

I hired Lindsay to do Fresh 48 and in homeNewborn photos for my first baby and she was amazing! My son ended up spending the first five days of his life in the NICU and Lindsay was amazing at being flexible and finding a time to come do the photos in the NICU once things settled down a little bit and my son was healthy enough to have photos taken just before he was discharged. Not only that but she created beautiful images in the world’s most poorly lit little area of the NICU where my son was stationed. Perhaps even more importantly she came in to take the photos with a great positive energy and immediately made us feel comfortable even though we were in a stressful situation and had nurses hovering around us. For the in home session, she was amazing at capturing stunning shots and had creative ideas about how to get the best photos. She also was so good with my son in his individual photos taking care to make him comfortable and cozy. Finally I want to add that Lindsay’s turnaround for the completed photos was SO FAST!! All in all, it was a great experience and we will treasure our photos forever. Thank you Lindsay!

leighann W.
Beautiful work and has a great eye! Not only are her pictures gorgeous but she makes the process fun and stress free. As a parent the words “family photo session” and “stress free” don’t usually correlate but with Lindsay that is what you get. She has an amazing ability to connect with children and understands the challenges of photographing them! My kids loved her and it was reflected in the images she took. Can’t wait to use her again!
Melissa R.
Lindsay was great! She was easy to work with before, during, and after the photo shoot. The digital album was delivered quickly following the session and she captured gorgeous natural light photos of my family. A true master at her craft, highly recommend!
Sophia B.
Lindsay has been my family’s photographer for 10 years now and she is hands down the best!!! She has done our family pictures, newborn pictures, first birthday pictures, varies holiday themed pictures, etc. She is extremely professional, creative, friendly and a perfectionist when it comes to her photography! I highly highly recommend her to anyone who wants amazing, high quality, pictures. You will not be disappointed.
Jaimie J.
Lindsay was so great! We had some interesting hurdles to jump on our photo shoot day (cold weather, a site she hadn’t really had a chance to preview) and she handled it all like a pro! Our pictures turned our wonderful! She even captured our two rambunctious puppies!
Allie M.
I have hired Lindsay for years for everything from our birth photos, newborn shoots, cake smash, and annual family photos. Shes incredibly professional, always comes prepared, has amazing creativity and makes us all feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I can not recommend her enough. Her photos have captured some of my favorite memories and we are so grateful for her work!
