I can not thank Mrs. Jamie enough for everything!! She was super sweet and always had us laughing. Mrs. Jamie was very flexible with changes and very quick with getting ALL pictures back to us. 10/10 recommend getting her to do ALL your pictures!! She is the best and I can’t wait to work with her in the future💜
-blakely & blake - Wedding
So thrilled to have found her and her expertise! 10/10 recommend!! And this is coming from a fellow photographer. 😍
-kristen | newborn
Mrs. Jamie is absolutely amazing!!! She communicates very well, answering any questions, addressing all concerns, and providing suggestions when I asked. At my wedding, she coordinated perfectly with my videographer, DJ, and venue.
-josie & noah | wedding
I cannot recommend Jamie Heyl Photography, LLC enough y’all. From newborns to 1 year pictures, we didn’t think it would be possible to be more pleased than we were for her newborns until our session today. We are so thankful you’re using your gift to give us these priceless memories to look back at of our perfect baby girl!💜
-markie | baby's first Year
She was so easy to work with and honestly she was the calm in the storm during all the chaos! I can’t say enough nice things about her and the way the pictures turned out. She was able to keep us on time and had attention to detail. I’ll be recommending her in the future ♥️

Frequently Asked Questions
You can book as soon as you find out you are pregnant or you can book once the baby is born. We always hold space to squeeze in new babies!
When should I schedule my newborn session?
We typically like to get babies into the studio between 7-10 days because this is when they are still the sleepiest and are more easily curled into the sleepy newborn poses everyone loves. But we don't turn down older babies - we've done newborn sessions up to 2 months old!
Is my baby too old for a newborn session?
We have done newborn-style sessions with babies up to 8 weeks old, however I do usually recommend doing a wrapped mini session at that age. Past 8 weeks, and I try to steer clients into doing a milestone session instead.
I will provide you with a newborn session prep guide with more information, but you don't have to bring much. I have all the wraps, props, hats, headbands, blankets, etc. that you'll need. I even have diapers and wipes, just in case!
Can parents and siblings be in the photos?
All of our packages include parents and/or siblings as part of the session.
THANK YOU!
We will be in touch soon.
