For these reasons, I have decided to start having my newborn sessions in my home. I have a large guest room with a ton of natural light that will work perfect for my sessions. It will also allow for more smooth-flowing sessions, as I will have everything already set up and ready to go when the client gets here. I am about an hour and a half from the majority of my clients in the Birmingham area, so to all of my clients from Birmingham/surrounding areas I will be offering a $40 print credit for you making the journey to me, so this will more than cover your gas money :) For those of you who still wish to have an at-home newborn session, the fee will now be $125. Thanks so much for understanding!!
Thanks for visiting my blog! I am an ultrasound tech during the week, and a photographer on the weekends. I am a natural light photographer specializing in maternity, newborn, children, and family portraits. My goal is to capture people in a fun, relaxed, comfortable environment in order to produce the best and most natural images possible. Feel free to visit my website, www.lindseywalkerphotos.com, for more information & to book your session!!

Newborn Session Changes
Since I've been in business, I have been doing "at-home" sessions for newborns. While I realize that it is a lot easier to have me come to your home, this does pose many challenges, the main being lighting. Being a natural light photographer, lighting is a HUGE component in my photography. I can't tell you how many times I've gone into a client's home & found the lighting less than ideal, or found great light, but huge unmovable furniture in the way. Trust me, this MAJORLY affects the outcome of images!! Traveling also limits the number of props I can bring, and adds about 1.5 hrs in time to account for loading/unloading/setting up. At this point in time, a studio is just not an option for me. I still work a full time job apart from photography, and when my husband & I (FINALLY) sell our home we are in now & move to the Birmingham area, we are planning on having an in-home studio space for me, so there's no point in me finding a separate studio space only to move it again at a later date.
