“I am so glad we will always have these precious memories of our baby’s first weeks and so glad Kate was the one to capture them!”

— ANNA, MAY 2023

TIMELESS MEMORIES CAPTURED.

My home studio is located in Troy and provides my clients with a peaceful retreat of soft tones and textures with just the right amount of soft natural light. I strive to prepare a calm environment for you and your little one and welcome you to cozy up on the sofa, enjoy a warm cup of tea or coffee and enjoy this time watching your baby’s first photo session!

Get on My Calendar

The ideal time to photograph your baby is between 5 to 14 days old, as they are the sleepiest and are still quite flexible. I use your due date as a place holder on my calendar. I recommend booking with me early in your third trimester to ensure availability. When baby arrives, call or text and your newborn session will be scheduled within the following two weeks. If baby is already here, know that last minute openings may also be available - so please don't hesitate to ask!

“We are so pleased with our photos from Kate! The entire experience was superb. Her studio is so comfortable and cozy. Kate has thought of everything to ensure a pleasant time for baby and for older siblings. The photos turned out beautiful and we cannot wait to get some up and hanging in our home!”

The quality of your prints and products are important to you and a priority for me! I use only my preferred and highly-reputable professional print lab for your ordered prints, photo books and canvas wraps. If you decide to purchase your products elsewhere, please be aware that all print labs are not equal and print quality varies greatly from lab to lab. No guarantees can be made about print and product quality from any lab not used by El and Em Photography.
