and the promise of new beginnings.
What better way to celebrate the arrival of your greatest gift than with a posed newborn session with some fun Christmas themes?
I specialize in creating heirloom photographs that beautifully capture these precious early moments, ensuring they become timeless treasures for generations to come.
Here are some fun Christmas themes that have been done in my Indianapolis studio.
We can pose your sweet baby in a gift box with milk and cookies for Santa!
In years to come, you can reference this photo and remind your child that he was the BEST gift this particular Christmas season!
It is fun to incorporate a stocking into your newborn session! Often, stockings are stretchy and large enough that your newborn baby can be posed inside the stocking. This is once again, a great photo to show your child when he is older and tell him that he was the greatest stocking stuffer there ever was!
This newborn session was extra special!
These sweet girls were born prematurely, and after several weeks of gaining strength and many ups and downs, they were finally strong enough for me to make a visit to meet them in the NICU at Community Hospital North on the northeast corner of Indianapolis. We did a mini newborn session using their cribs in their NICU room just a few days before Christmas.
Momma brought this adorable stocking to this little man’s newborn session
He fit in it perfectly and even flashed a big smile for us while we had him posed!
Incorporating a little Christmas bear can add a fun touch!
We can pose your baby in a “Santa” basket with snowflakes adorning the wall behind him.
A little sleigh with a cute little nutcracker, a small Christmas tree and a festive backdrop is a fun way to photograph your little one!
One of my all time favorite poses is creating the look of your baby sitting on a shelf! It is such fun and creative way to “display” how cute and sweet your baby is!
We can make it full of Christmas decor, or we can keep it more simple so that it represents the Christmas season, but allows you to have a photo that is more neutral that can be enjoyed all year round.
If you prefer to keep things more simple, we can choose to pose your sweet baby in the simple Christmas colors of green, red, and cream.
This adds a timeless elegance to your photographs. These soft tones complement the holiday themes seamlessly, creating a visually stunning and cohesive look. The result is a series of images that not only capture the holiday spirit but also highlight the purity and innocence of your newborn.
Choosing a Christmas theme not only adds a touch of festive magic but also creates a unique and heartwarming backdrop for your baby's first professional portraits.
These carefully curated setups ensure a beautiful and cohesive collection of images that tell the story of your baby's first Christmas.
My goal is to provide you with a stress-free and enjoyable experience, allowing you to focus on cherishing these fleeting moments with your new arrival.
We will be creating memories that will last a lifetime. Don't miss the opportunity to celebrate this joyous season with a unique and heartwarming session that will become a cherished part of your family's history!
Once you have your new baby in your life, you won’t believe how many photos you’ll take. And while it’s great to capture all those little moments on your smartphone, there’s nothing as special as having heirloom quality professional photos of all the little details you want to remember. You can be sure there will be great effort to capture these special elements at your newborn session at my Indianapolis studio!

I’ve known Damon since before he was born!
I remember his mom sharing that she was expecting with a small group of other young moms at a Bible study I was holding in my home shortly after Joe and I moved to Indianapolis.
I was expecting my second child at the time, so Damon’s mom and I experienced pregnancies at the same time. My daughter Bethany is the same age as Damon.
I’ve also known Emma for a long time!
She was in early elementary when our families met.
When Emma was a young girl, I had the privilege of capturing her family when her grandparents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary!
I was able to get some shots of Emma and each of her siblings individually, and this is one of my favorites of her from that special session!
As I have watched Emma grow up, I’ve always been encouraged to be around her. She is the kind of person that spills joy to everyone around her. She is full of joy and always has a word of encouragement for those she comes in contact with.
Damon’s mom could be described this way, and they say men often marry someone much like their mom. I’d say Damon has been doubly blessed to have a mother with these character qualities and now to have them in his wife.
I feel like you can just see that sweet spirit coming through as you view these photos, don’t you think?
Damon and Emma have been sweethearts since fourth grade!
How special to have been sweet on each other all through the growing up years and to see God lead them together as young adults! And now they are anticipating this new adventure of parenthood together!
Just as we were wrapping up the maternity session,
Damon made a special request . . .
He asked if we could do a few shots on the chair where he was holding both Emma and his baby boy. I absolutely loved his idea and we captured these precious heirloom photos for them to always look back and treasure this precious time.
When this little guy arrives, we plan to recreate this special scene. Keep watch for this special newborn session!
Check out this unique maternity session with some very special themes requested by momma including angel wings a sweet little crown, some clouds, and some gorgeous shimmery fabric! Most of this session was done at my Indianapolis studio!
