Behind the Lens: The Newborn Photographer Diaries
Welcome to Behind the Lens: The Newborn Photographer Diaries where two caffeine-fueled, swaddle-wrapping, baby-whispering photographers spill the (non-toxic, baby-safe) tea on what it’s really like running a newborn photography biz.
We’re talking about everything from posing tiny humans and soothing fussy babies to navigating clients, running a business, marketing without losing your mind, and juggling it all while trying to keep our own families alive and fed. (Some days, that’s the real miracle.)
It’s honest. It’s a little chaotic. It’s full of laughter, real talk, and all the behind-the-scenes moments you won’t find on Instagram. If you’re a newborn photographer, or just curious about the beautiful mess behind the lens, this is the podcast for you.

Ep. 5: Cozy Studio Chat: Newborn Photography Unpopular Opinions
After a little unplanned hiatus, we’re back in the studio together and keeping it light, real, and a little unhinged (in the best way). We’re fresh off photographing the cutest chunky-cheeked baby with a full day of Christmas setups, lots of lighting experiments, and plenty of banter.
In this episode, we dive into unpopular opinions in newborn photography like whether photographers care more about perfect poses than parents do, if froggy is overrated, why prep guides matter, what “booked out” really means, and why newborn safety should be a bare minimum not a marketing strategy. We also chat about boundaries, burnout, being present with our own kids, and doing business in a way that actually works for real life.
Grab your sweet tea or vanilla Coke and come hang out with us.
