Preserve every tiny detail with ease so they never fade in your memory
When there’s no shortage of bottles to wash, schedules to remember, and kiddos to care for, it can be hard to slow down and soak in every moment with your newborn. The newborn days are certainly full, but so is your heart, and I want you to remember exactly how that felt for years and years to come. It’s my passion to give you a stress-free, personalized, full-service photography experience that captures and preserves every detail of this blurry but beautiful season.

will be a blur, But your photos won’t be.
Hi, Im Goldie!
more about me!
As a very sentimental mom of two, I know all too well how fast the days fly by, and since 2017, I’ve been able to help families preserve those precious fleeting days for a lifetime and beyond.
Through my dedication to comfort, safety, and intentional personalization, I create a seamless, stress-free photography experience for my families that allows them to not just scroll past photos, but walk past them every single day. Let’s capture the moments you want to last.
I’ll handle every detail down to wardrobe, makeup, printing, even your favorite coffee order.

MORE ABOUT PRODUCTS
While I do sell digital images with all of my sessions, I’ve found that those digital images are often forgotten on a flash drive or lost in the digital clutter of our phones.
Family albums and heirlooms are a fading art these days. Printing your images ensures that those memories are physically present in your home so they’ll never be forgotten.
During your reveal appointment I’ll help you create gallery wall mockups on the walls of your home with images from your session scaled to size. I’ll chat with you about your preferences on framing, album covers, ways to display images, and so much more, so you can get the most out of your investment and have photos to walk by each day, not just scroll past.
Plus- mama, you have so much on your plate already during this season. Let me take “print and frame photos” off of your to-do list.
WHY PRINTS AND PRODUCTS?
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. Each image you select will be perfected to your preference. Older brother only smiled once? Mom loves her face in one photo but loves her pose in another? No problem! We can create those perfect smiles across multiple photos so everyone is looking and feeling their best.
03. THE REVEAL
When it’s time for our session, I’ll set the studio environment for your newborn and make a welcoming space for older siblings with toys, books, snacks, and other things to keep them happy and occupied. I will have coffee ready for you and your partner, and my makeup artist will be there ready to start with mom upon arrival. All you have to do is bring yourselves, your baby, enjoy your experience with our makeup artist, sip your coffee, take a nap, and relax while I photograph your newborn and family.
Safety is my top priority every session. I’ve completed multiple newborn safety courses, and my assistant is always present to help with spotting and provide an extra set of hands. The studio is thoroughly cleaned between sessions, including all props and backdrops. If anyone is feeling unwell, including myself, I have backup dates set aside so we can reschedule quickly once everyone’s healthy.
02. THE SESSION
Every session begins with a conversation in-person or over video call before booking to see the space and discuss details in person so we can better customize your session and bring your vision to life. You’ll also have a chance to browse through my collection of 50+ designer maternity & bump-friendly dresses and 18-month and under clothing.
01. THE CONSULTATION
how this will work
My Kansas City newborn sessions take place when baby is 1-3 weeks old, but you don’t need to stress about timing or due dates. I reserve a limited number of due dates each month so there’s built-in flexibility no matter when baby decides to arrive. Once your baby is here, we’ll confirm your session.
Every session is centered around your baby— no trendy themes or distractions. We’ll capture clean, timeless images tailored to you & your style that highlight your baby’s perfect features and the love you share as a family. The session is entirely baby-led, sibling-friendly, safe, and relaxing for all.
You should remember your baby’s first moments forever, not the stressful process behind the photos.
Just bring your baby. I’ll handle the rest.

Kind Words
I was so hesitant to schedule newborn photos being a first time mom. There were so many unknowns like would I feel comfortable in my own skin, would I be up for leaving the house, would my baby be tolerable of photographs, etc. But I am so happy that I did. Goldie did not only provide us with priceless images and memories but an unforgettable experience. It honestly felt like the first time I could breathe since leaving the hospital. She has many credentials when it comes to newborns and it shows. I felt at ease while she was posing and working with my newborn. She truly takes care of everything and allows you to observe in awe. In a time of chaos and survival mode her studio and employees provided us with peace. I cannot recommend Goldie enough!

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?
