Testimonials
I have had a very positive experience with Barber Photography. Last May my youngest daughter was dedicated into our church. Barber Photography was there, and truly captured the moment in a precious way. The pictures they took allowed us to see the beauty of a moment that seemed to have gone by too quickly. I was impressed with the picture quality, as well as how organized and polite Kindra and Kevin were to our family.

Be Smart: Back up!
Newborn photos are some of our favorite to photograph. Those tiny hands and feet, how they relate to mom and dad, and the way they love to snuggle up and sleep are all things that we can capture at a newborn session.
Frequently Asked Questions:
When should I schedule my baby’s newborn session?
We only schedule a limited amount of newborn sessions in a month so schedule your session before you little one arrives. We will schedule a tentative session date which could be changed depending on when your baby arrives.
When is the right time to have my newborn photographed?
We photograph newborns that are 10 days or younger. At this age, they are less likely to be disturbed while sleeping and have clearer complexions than older babies do.
Where is my newborn session captured?
We photograph newborns at our studio on Thursday and Saturday mornings in the natural morning light.
When will my newborn session take place?
We photograph newborns in the morning and it usually is a 3 hour session. The reason that it is this length of time is that much of the session is spent keeping the child asleep and cuddly for the photos.
