Because They’ll Never Be This Tiny Again
The sleepy expressions. The tiny fingers wrapped around yours. The little wrinkles, stretches and details you wish you could hold onto forever. At Kristin LaRue Photography, newborn sessions are designed to preserve the beginning of your baby’s story through warm, heartfelt and timeless portraits.
Located in Paris, Texas, KLP Studio offers a comfortable, fully styled newborn experience with access to a carefully curated collection of wraps, blankets, outfits, backdrops and props.
Photographing the people you love since 2008.
A Calm, Carefully Styled Experience
Every baby is different, which means every newborn session is different, too.
Sessions are never rushed. We allow time for feeding, comforting, changing, wrapping and settling your baby as needed. Your baby leads the session, and we work patiently to create beautiful portraits while keeping comfort and safety at the center of the experience.
You don’t need to arrive with an entire Pinterest board’s worth of props. KLP Studio includes a large collection of newborn wraps, blankets, outfits, headbands, bonnets, backdrops and carefully selected props.
Before your session, we’ll discuss your preferred colors, style and the details most meaningful to your family. Your finished gallery will remain true to the warm, rich and soulful style Kristin LaRue Photography is known for.

When Should I Reserve My Newborn Session?
Newborn sessions are best reserved during pregnancy. Your due date will be placed on my calendar, and we’ll choose the final session date after your baby arrives. Babies rarely care about our carefully organized calendars, so flexibility is built into the process. If your baby has already arrived, please reach out anyway. I may still have an opening, and beautiful newborn portraits are not limited to one exact age or number of days.
Preparing for Your Session
Once your session is reserved, you’ll receive guidance to help you prepare for your baby’s first portrait experience. We’ll discuss colors, styling, family participation and anything meaningful you would like incorporated. If you have an heirloom blanket, sentimental item or family keepsake you would like photographed, let me know before the session so we can determine the best way to include it safely. For family-inclusive sessions, simple and coordinated clothing in neutral or complementary colors photographs beautifully and keeps the focus on your baby and your family’s connection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where are newborn sessions held?
Newborn sessions are photographed at KLP Studio in Paris, Texas. The studio includes newborn backdrops, wraps, outfits, blankets and props, along with professional lighting and everything needed to create a carefully styled experience.
When should I book?
I recommend reserving your session during pregnancy so your due date can be placed on my calendar. Once your baby arrives, we’ll confirm the final session date.
What if my baby has already arrived?
Please reach out! Depending on availability, I may still be able to accommodate your session. Older newborns can still be photographed beautifully, although posing and alertness may differ as babies grow.
What if my baby doesn’t sleep?
That’s okay. Babies are not expected to arrive knowing the photography schedule. We allow time for feeding, comforting and settling, and beautiful portraits can also be created while your baby is awake.
Do I need to bring props or outfits?
KLP Studio provides a carefully curated collection of newborn wraps, outfits, blankets, headbands, bonnets, backdrops and props. You are welcome to bring a sentimental item or heirloom, but please discuss it with me before your session.
Can parents and siblings be photographed?
Yes. Parent and sibling portraits are included in The Family Story session. The Baby Story is focused exclusively on the newborn.
How long will the session take?
Newborn sessions are intentionally flexible because every baby has different feeding and soothing needs. Please avoid scheduling anything immediately after your session so we can work patiently without feeling rushed.
When will we receive our photographs?
Your expected turnaround time and gallery details will be included in your session information. If an unexpected delay occurs, I will communicate with you and provide an updated delivery estimate.
Can I purchase additional images or prints?
Yes. Depending on your selected collection, additional digital images and professionally printed portrait products may be available for purchase.
Newborn Photography Rooted in Connection
Beautiful newborn photography is about more than a perfectly wrapped baby. It is about remembering how your baby fit against your chest. The way an older sibling looked at them. The love, exhaustion, tenderness and complete change that came with welcoming someone new.
These photographs become part of your family’s history—the beginning of a story you’ll continue telling for years.
Kristin LaRue Photography has been professionally photographing babies, children and families in Paris, Texas and throughout North Texas & surrounding locations since 2008.
