Nashville Newborn Photographer
Newborn photography requires patience, experience, and an understanding that every baby is unique. Throughout your session, your baby's comfort and safety always come first. We follow your little one's cues, allowing time for feeding, soothing, and snuggling whenever needed.
There is never any pressure to force a pose or rush the experience.
With over a decade of experience photographing newborns for Nashville families and a former Labor & Delivery nurse, I bring both an artistic eye and a deep understanding of newborn care to every session. My nursing background gives parents added confidence, knowing their baby is in experienced, gentle hands where safety and comfort are always the highest priorities.
Experience Matters When Choosing a Newborn Photographer
Gentle, timeless, and intentional
WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR NEWBORN SESSION
Every newborn session is completely baby-led. Rather than working from a rigid shot list, we move at your baby's pace. Whether your little one needs extra cuddles, another feeding, or simply a few quiet moments, the session is designed with flexibility in mind.
Parents often tell me how surprised they are by how peaceful the experience feels. While you relax in the studio, I take care of every detail, from wrapping and gentle posing to selecting timeless props and styling each portrait with simplicity and intention.
A Calm, Baby-Led Experience
Choosing a newborn photographer is about so much more than beautiful images. Recognized as one of the best Nashville Newborn Photographers, families choose Kristie Lloyd Photography because they want an experience that feels effortless from beginning to end.
From professional hair and makeup and a carefully curated client wardrobe to custom artwork design, every detail has been thoughtfully planned so you can simply enjoy your portrait session.

Many of our families return year after year for maternity, newborn, milestone, and family portraits, allowing us to document their growing families through every chapter.

Highly recommend Kristie! We’ve done newborn sessions with all of our kids and this was our first one in the Nashville area. I found her via Google and immediately fell in love with her style of photography! We did the one year package - and had our newborn session which was so seamless and the images she captured are priceless. We got three artwork pieces for our nursery and the quality is top notch! As with most things in life, but especially photography, you get what you pay for and Kristie is very much worth the investment!

It's recommend to do your newborn session within the first 2-3 weeks after baby is born. However, I only utilize baby-led posing which means it's absolutely ok if baby is a little older. Since I don't need baby to be unnaturally squashed into a pose, it's ok if baby isn't completely asleep the whole time. Even up to about 12 weeks old, we can still capture this beautiful new life you've created as a "newborn".
Newborn sessions are done either in Kristie's studio in Franklin, TN or in the comfort of your own home (travel fees may apply if located outside of Nashville area). When you book, we'll plan all the details around your hopes for the session.
When you book your baby's session, I will send you a link to view our extensive Client Wardrobe - full of beautiful dresses for moms to choose from. Everything needed for baby is already at the studio: swaddles, blankets, and more. For partners and siblings, you'll receive a guide to help you coordinate the whole family. Ensuring magazine worthy photos that you love!
The session fee is $400 and includes wardrobe for moms, professional hair + make-up, and a design consultation after your session. Wall art and albums are purchased separately.
All sessions are custom and by appointment only. Artwork begins at $800. Collections begin at $1500.
