You’re holding your baby and your body just knows how to do it, like they’ve always belonged right there against your chest. The days move, slow and fast at the same time, and you wonder if you’re remembering it all or just trying to.
You smell their head and feel like you might break from how much you love someone. And in the quiet, in the ache of it all, you wish you could step outside the moment just long enough to savor it.
That’s what newborn photography is for. Something that shows just how tiny they were, and something that brings you right back to who you were, in those first days of becoming their mom.
This isn’t just for now.
It’s for every time you want to go back.
This season fades, but the way it felt doesn’t have to
When I became a mother, I remember how heavy even the smallest decisions felt. What to wear, what to prioritize, how to show up when I barely had the energy to shower. That’s why I’ve shaped this experience to be slow, supportive, and fully led by what you need.
There’s space here, for feeding breaks, for tears, for quiet. For showing up just as you are, in whatever version of motherhood the day brings. I’ll guide you through every step of the newborn portrait experience with softness and care, so you can settle in and just be with your baby.
Because these days aren’t perfect. But they are everything. And they deserve to be kept, exactly as they are.

More than a session
No need to shop or stress. You’ll have access to a collection of beautiful, flattering pieces for both mothers and babies, chosen to photograph softly and timelessly.
From the first message to the final delivery, you’ll be met with care, understanding, and a pace that honors exactly where you are in your motherhood journey.
Our memories don’t belong on a screen. Together, we’ll turn them into heirloom albums and custom-framed pieces that hold space for this season in your everyday life.
The newborn Experience
When you reach out through my contact form, we’ll start by chatting about your vision for the session. Together, we’ll talk through styling ideas, location options, and choose a date that fits your schedule perfectly.
As your Raleigh newborn photographer, my goal is to make this process feel easy and personal from the very beginning. I want to take the guesswork out of planning and create an experience that celebrates your baby in the most genuine way possible.
The newborn Experience
Once your session is booked, we’ll chat — either on a quick planning call or through email — to plan every detail and make sure you feel completely prepared. I’ll share wardrobe tips and help you choose outfits that work best for your family and your newborn.
Together, we’ll choose the perfect location, whether that’s in your home, my studio, or somewhere meaningful to your family. When session day arrives, everything will come together beautifully and feel completely natural.
The newborn Experience
The newborn session is all about capturing the sweet first moments. There’s no need to worry about anything— I’ll gently guide you so everything feels comfortable and natural.
Whether your newborn is peacefully snoozing or wide-eyed and curious, I create a calm, cozy environment where they can settle in naturally — and you can truly enjoy the moment.
The Newborn Experience
When your gallery is ready, you’ll get to relive your newborn’s session and see their portraits for the first time. This is such a special part of the experience — full of joy, laughter, and the moments that make this season unforgettable.
You’ll be able to order your favorite images, albums, and artwork directly through your gallery or, if you’d prefer, we can meet virtually to walk through everything together. However you choose, the process is simple, flexible, and designed to fit your busy life.
If you prefer a clean, classic, and fully prepared space, a studio newborn session is a wonderful option. My studio is designed specifically with newborns in mind — warm, quiet, and stocked with blankets, wraps, and everything needed to keep your baby comfortable and secure.
Here, we can create timeless portraits with consistent lighting, simple backgrounds, and beautifully styled setups. The studio offers a peaceful environment where you can relax while I safely pose and photograph your little one.
It’s the perfect choice if you want curated, polished images with an elevated, fine-art feel for your Raleigh newborn photo session.

newborn Session location Options
There’s something incredibly special about photographing your baby in the place where your story begins. Your in-home newborn portrait experience is a fully personalized session designed by Raleigh newborn photographer Lindsey Lambert.
In-home newborn sessions are relaxed, comfortable, and completely baby-led. I’ll work in the rooms with the best natural light — often the nursery, primary bedroom, or living room — and guide you into natural, connected moments with your little one.
No need to clean perfectly or stress about having everything “just right.” I bring everything we need and create a calm environment so you can simply enjoy being together. These sessions capture the beauty of your everyday life…the tiny details, the soft snuggles, and the real moments you’ll want to remember forever.
Includes:
• Up to two hours of shoot time with three outfit changes
• Two locations that fit your style
• A wardrobe consultation to plan outfits and styling
• Receive Lindsey’s Senior Style Guide after booking — complete with outfit inspiration and prep tips for your session

The First Year Membership is for parents who don’t want to blink and wonder where it all went.
When you join, you become part of a small group of families choosing to slow down and hold on. With sessions spaced across your baby’s first year, you’ll build something real, a story that’s yours to keep.
Because some seasons only happen once. And they’re too important to forget.
A newborn session is an invitation to slow down, take a breath, and simply be with your baby.
We spend up to one hour (and more if needed), with plenty of space for feeding, soothing, and holding your baby close, and when you arrive, you’re not worrying about the details. We’ve already had a calm planning call, where we’ve talked through your vision, chosen a location, and selected what you’ll wear from the client wardrobe.
Whether we photograph in your home, outdoors, or in a studio, the experience is made to feel natural, unhurried, and centered around connection and care.
Afterward, you’ll view your images in a private gallery, and together we’ll turn them into something lasting for your home, framed, bound, and ready to be lived with for years to come.
$250 creative fee
+ Most clients spend at least $850 on artwork and digital images following their session.
So let them know how deeply they were loved, from their first day.
These moments vanish in an instant. But a photograph? It remembers. It speaks when words can't. It will tell your children how deeply they were loved, long after you're gone.
Your story, preserved in the pages of a handcrafted album. Wrapped in linen or leather and embossed with your name, each album is designed to be pulled from the shelf, opened with love, and passed into the hands of those you cherish for generations.
