The Studio

Our private North Austin portrait studio, conveniently located near Ranch Road 620 and Parmer Lane, spans over 1,200 square feet and is designed specifically for maternity and newborn photography. The spacious layout allows for dedicated shooting areas, wardrobe storage, and a comfortable waiting space for families.

When you walk into our studio you'll see a wide selection of beautiful portraits adorning the waiting room walls. We love our clients and their portraits so much we can't wait to display them in our studio. You'll be able to touch and feel all of our product offerings while you are in the studio.

Unlike outdoor or lifestyle sessions that are subject to changing weather and light, our North Austin studio allows full control of lighting, temperature, and privacy. This is especially important for newborn sessions, where safety, comfort, and consistency are essential. Families searching for an Austin Newborn Photographer often choose a dedicated studio environment for this reason.

Your in-studio newborn session takes place at our beautiful studio is fully stocked with props for newborn sessions, gorgeous gowns for Maternity Sessions, adorable baby outfits for older baby Milestone Sessions, and much more. We want your session to be as simple for you as it can possibly be. You don't have to bring anything except baby care items for your newborn session (but we have diapers and wipes, too!) and undergarments to your Maternity Session.

Austin Newborn Photography's Newborn Prop selection includes 100's of hand knit bonnets, wraps, and hats. Valerie has collected a huge number of beautiful newborn and baby headbands, backdrop fabrics, and unique props. Love animals? We've got tiny animal lovies for baby to snuggle and matching newborn hats! These are some our clients' favorite pieces.

Our newborn studio is fully equipped for safe, studio-based newborn portraiture. As an Austin Newborn Photographer specializing in posed studio sessions, Valerie maintains a carefully organized collection of wraps, bonnets, headbands, backdrops, and handcrafted props. Every item is selected to support timeless newborn imagery in a professional studio setting.

For maternity portraits, our North Austin studio includes a large collection of designer gowns and fabrics selected specifically for studio maternity photography. Clients seeking an Austin Maternity Photographer appreciate the ability to choose from a wide range of professionally styled options without the stress of sourcing their own wardrobe.

Available for your maternity session wardrobe and studio experience: Our Maternity Wardrobe is stocked full of gowns from high-quality designers such as Before and Ever Couture, Silk Fairies Creations, Sew Trendy Accessories, Mii Estilo, Belly Baby Wear by Ana Brandt, and Katharina Hajak Couture. We are frequently adding new pieces for our clients to wear during their sessions. We've got everything from bodysuits to full, fluffy maternity robes made of tulle, to barely-there mesh dresses, and beautiful sheer fabrics for draping.

Working in a dedicated studio allows for complete creative control, privacy, and comfort. As both an Austin Newborn Photographer and Austin Maternity Photographer, Valerie Kay Photography provides a full-service studio experience including professional lighting, wardrobe access, and a peaceful environment designed around motherhood portraiture.
