The Newborn experience!

Your experience here at the studio for a Newborn session:


Newborn portraits capture a once in a lifetime memory and feeling that you will cherish forever.  The window of opportunity to capture a true newborn session is a small one, we love having baby in the studio between 3-14 days old to be able to capture a true newborn session.

Many things play a part in the experience of a newborn session, Here at Photography By: A.J. Crumley.


It starts with the pre-consultation about what you want and don’t want for your session, we go over all of my baby collections and choose the best fit for you.


When you come into my home studio, you won’t have to worry about anything.  Everything you need to care for you baby we have in our studio, all you need to do is show up.
Dressing room / Private area for nursing
Diapers & wipes
Exclusive line of props
We have a beverage/ snack cart for parents and siblings
We have a play area for older siblings who are waiting their turn as well as a selection of Disney movies.
So if you forget something there isn’t a need to worry.


Why is it so important to schedule your newborn session when they are so young?  In 3 weeks from the time of their birth they will have changed so much, you baby will not fit the same way in your arms as they do now.  They are sleeping more early on which helps with the poses we can can put them in because they are still so  squishy and little balls.  It is unfairly fast how it goes by so quickly.  My goal is to stop it for you for just that moment and capture that special time.


I understand that we most likely will be your first outing you go on with your new baby.  You don’t have to worry about a thing we want you to look at this experience as break.  I know what a challenge it can be to get yourself and baby around and come in, I completely understand how exhausted you may be.  We also have a sofa in the shooting studio where parents can relax and even take a nap !  All you have to do is show up with baby and I will take care of the rest.


I am fully vaccinated
hand sanitizer is a religion
Everything that touches baby is cleaned after each use.
Our play area for older children is cleaned on a daily bases ​

my promise to you is that your baby will be in safe, healthy and happy hands.

Finding my WHY~

Look at those tiny fingers and toes!!!!



Some random thoughts about Photography by: A.J. Crumley
While off on vacation I used a lot of down time to work on my why~~ yes I worked a bit on my vacation I just couldn’t help it…..


One of my biggest questions to myself is Why do I do what I do? What is my why?

As a mom of grown children I have learned the hard way how fast the time slips away.  Trust me you will hear it all the time “it goes by so fast”, and I can remember thinking this is dragging on forever ~you know “those days” we all have them.  I was also guilty of wishing time away, “I can’t wait till they are sleeping through the night”, “I can’t wait till they are sitting up, holding their bottle, out of diapers” etc and the list goes on and on.  What I should have been doing is focusing on each of those moments and enjoying that specific time with them.  Because now I question did I hold them enough, did I give them enough kisses, did I give them enough time to be little etc. and again the list can go on.

Then I look back through photo albums~ the feelings that a photo can bring to you.  Becoming a mother changes everything you are and why you exist on this Earth, its a whole new reason for living.   The love you feel is indescribable and when your looking back at your images I hope they will bring you back to that moment when they were so very tiny.

When I capture images of your children whether its within one of my baby collections or a yearly birthday or a family session.  I am not just taking pictures, I hope for you I am creating something that will be treasured for years to come.  My goal is to capture a memory and a feeling of that time in your life, I am telling your story and freezing it for you to keep and be reminded of that moment for the rest of your life.  The experience you have here when coming to the studio for your child's portraits is part of that moment and feeling.  I want to create an experience that you will carry with you every time you look at those images.  I want you to feel the love in the images and the connection with them.

The other lesson I want to share, goes along with the idea that “it goes by so fast”.  It truly does, especially within your babies first year.  Each day your baby is changing, if you put off capturing those newborn images or tummy time or sitting on their own, or that connection your have with your children in a family session.  Before you know it they are onto their next stage and those are moments of your story with them you will never be able to get back. I don’t want you to let those moments pass you by.

So in wrapping it up that is my Why!
