Bringing a baby into the world is a beautiful, sacred experience and your newborn photos should reflect that. At my Nashville newborn photography studio, every detail is designed to support you so you can simply show up, exhale, and soak in this fleeting moment. It’s one of the many reasons Kristie Lloyd Photography was voted #1 for Williamson County’s Best Photographer by the Sizzle Awards.
Here are five simple tips to help you prepare for your newborn session in the studio with confidence and ease.

1. Trust That Everything Is Already Taken Care Of
You don’t need to bring outfits, props, or worry if your baby will cooperate. From curated wardrobe pieces, professional hair & make-up, to expert posing and a cozy studio setup, everything is taken care of for you! Our Nashville newborn photography studio is a full-service experience, which means you can walk in with your arms full of love—not logistics.


2. Feed Baby on Your Timeline
There’s no pressure to stick to a schedule when coming to our Nashville newborn photography studio. Some families feed their baby right before leaving home, others nurse or bottle-feed as soon as they arrive. I always build in extra time at the beginning of your session so that baby feels content and sleepy—which leads to those dreamy, peaceful portraits.


3. Relax During Hair and Makeup
This is where the magic begins for many of my clients. Our professional hair and makeup artist will take care of you while I prep the studio for your session. She will either come to your home or meet you in our studio. It’s a moment to breathe, be still, and feel beautiful—especially in those tender early weeks of motherhood.

4. Know That Every Baby Is Different
Whether your baby sleeps through the entire session or needs frequent soothing, we’ll go at their pace. I follow your baby’s cues and adjust the flow accordingly. Years of experience (and a whole lot of patience!) mean that even the wiggliest babies are captured beautifully.



5. Remember Why You Booked This
This isn’t just about pretty photos—it’s about preserving the very beginning of your baby’s story. These portraits will become part of your family’s history. At our Nashville newborn photography studio, my mission is to create heirloom-quality artwork that both you and your child will cherish one day.
