Colorado Springs Newborn Photography

Your baby is brand new and you need to have photos of those teensy details before they change! Whether you prefer cozy lifestyle photos or traditional studio portraits, I design my sessions to be relaxed and comfortable, while capturing the genuine connection between you and your new little love. I provide everything needed to create stunning, timeless newborn photos that you will treasure for years to come.

The newborn process:

I. Book the date.

I like to book newborn sessions between two and three weeks after birth. In my experience, that is the best time to get a sleepy, happy baby. However, if you are outside that window, don't fret. Newborn photos can be done before and after that timeframe, depending on the situation.

II. Take photos.

I have a handy dandy questionnaire I send to get a good idea of what you are looking for in your newborn photos. I will accommodate requests to the best of my ability, and offer an extensive selection of outfits, wraps, props, and decor, to create sets that will perfectly accentuate your baby's perfect tiny details. Lifestyle sessions do not include studio props.

III. Deliver memories.

Within a few days of your session, I will send you a proof gallery of images for you to choose from. As long as it isn't a duplicate or dud, I send it. Once you have selected your final images, I meticulously edit them and get them back to you within 2-3 weeks.

Education & Training

Your precious baby is brand new and so delicate. You want someone to handle them who knows what they are doing, and above all, prioritizes their safety and comfort. I have completed four unique newborn photography education programs, as well as two in-person workshops with professional newborn photography educators. I am also certified in infant CPR and have a background in nursing.

Testimonial

Ashtyn is the best photographer we have ever worked with! She scrambled to help us this summer when we were waiting for our adopted son to arrive and ending up having to cancel. She then stepped up immediately when we were notified with only a few days notice of our adopted son’s situation, who we took home within just a few days after finding out. She took such care in making sure our newborn was warm and comfortable and safe during the shoot! The pictures are more than I ever could have imagined! They are perfect. My sister is ready to book and I will be back as often as possible when visiting family in Colorado! Thank you for preserving our memories in such a perfect way!

Testimonial

I adored working with her for my maternity and newborn photographs. She’s the best and handled my very small (a bit over 5lb) baby for pictures. She was funny and very personable too.

Testimonial

Ashtyn was amazing! Somehow she was able to keep our little guy asleep for the duration of the session (he was as passed the super-sleepy-newborn stage), all the while changing his wraps and head wear. She truly is a wizard and the photos turned out amazing. We will definitely use Ashtyn again! Thank you for capturing this moment in time for us.

Testimonial

We had the best experiences with Ashtyn for our maternity and newborn/family photos! She went above and beyond for both sets of photos to ensure we had the perfect photos for us, from accommodating a location change to bringing the perfect props. She was great with our son who was still on oxygen, and we felt safe in her cozy studio.
