newborn photographer
My name is Goldie, and I am a studio newborn photographer located in beautiful downtown St. Joseph serving here and the greater Kansas City area. I have been photographing babies and families since 2017 and I am trained in safe posing for studio newborn. The studio is the perfect space for timeless and modern sets. Here I focus on the people in the photos and telling your story while also creating a stress free experience thats both tailored to you and enjoyable!

all you need to bring is you and your baby
what to expect
My Kansas City newborn sessions take place when baby is 1-3 weeks old. You will be booked on my calendar by your due date and I only take a limited number of due dates a month. It is best to get in touch with me as soon as you know you want to book a session for your newborn.
Sessions are inspired by your baby. As silly as that may sound it is true. Each session is approached with minimal props, no busy backdrops, or extra “stuff.” Each pose is carefully considered so that the features of your baby are the focus. Family portraits especially are focused on you and connections between each of you. Less is more, and the more details I can capture of each one of you the more special these photos will be over time.
newborn session information
Every session begins with a conversation. You’ll be welcomed to come to the studio before booking to see the space, and talk more about details in person so we can better customize your session and bring your vision to life. You’ll receive a welcome folder with everything we discussed during that meeting. You’ll also have a chance to browse through my collection of 50+ designer maternity and bump friendly dresses.
During the session I will set the studio environment for your newborn and make a welcoming space for older siblings with toys, books, and other distractions.
I will have coffee ready for you and your partner and my makeup artist will be here ready to start with mom upon arrival. If you didn’t read the above statement about only needing to bring your baby…. Well here it is again. Seriously, just bring yourselves, your baby, enjoy your experience with our makeup artist, enjoy your coffee, take a nap, and just get comfortable while I photograph your newborn and family.
Safety is number one priority with all sessions. I have taken several courses on the safety precautions to implement during a studio newborn session and my assistant is there at all times to help in spotting and giving me an extra set of hands. The studio is kept clean and all props and drops that baby or anyone else touches are cleaned between each session. If myself or your family is not feeling well during your session I have days that I keep on the calendar as backups to ensure we can get you back in as soon as possible once everyone is feeling better.
A few days after your session we'll have your reveal appointment where I’ll guide you through my carefully selected heirloom products and digital files to help you select which images you wish to purchase and enjoy forever.

Kind Words
My wife and I were reluctant to schedule a newborn session with baby #3 due to past sessions with other photographers. To say we were absolutey blown away by how wonderful of an experience we had with Goldie Lynn is an understatement. My only regret is that we didn't have newborn sessions with our other children done at her studio. The process was seamless and stress free from start to finish. The attention to detail on the final product was flawless and they were back to us timely. My expectation as a parent when walking into the studio - with a six year old, two year old and newborn - is that the experience would be chaotic, stressful and filled with frustration. The environment Goldie creates broke the mold, it could not have been more sublime. Our session was welcoming, kid friendly and relaxing. Every parent should do themselves a favor and have their newborn photos done at Goldie Lynn's Studio. We are forever grateful for the lasting moments and memories Goldie captured for us.

Why should you consider professional photos of your newborn? For me it’s an easy answer – but for my, unbiased, moms it can sometimes feel like another huge task to add to their to-do list. “Is it necessary?
