NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY IN FLAGSTAFF

There has never been a baby exactly like yours in the history of the world.

How cool is that?

After 3 decades of being a newborn photographer, that still never ceases to amaze me.

Whether your newborn is wide awake, sleeping, eating, spitting up, pooping or just making weird, unfocused googley eyes,

you still love them. And so do we.

We’ll make portraits of YOUR little one’s unique personality, not some generic trope that could be any baby.

And you know how leaving the house with a brand new baby sometimes feels challenging?

We make it easier.

When you come to our portrait photography studio in downtown Flagstaff, you'll have everything you need; convenient parking, a changing room, comfort items like tea, coffee, a diaper changing table with wipes, a Boppy, and comfortable places to feed your baby.

We’re here to take things off your plate.

And best of all, after your newborn portrait session, we’ll make and deliver custom art to you home.

You don’t need to add that to your list.

We’ve got your back.

  Big thanks to KDI photography! We added a new family member this summer and getting these pictures taken meant the world for us. We chose KDI based upon the beautiful portfolio we saw on her website and we loved her style. Our experience with her was not something we anticipated - simply because we did not realize the depth she goes to with each family member to understand everyone’s vision and expectations. Her process is meant to ensure the highest quality product, and it shows.
We loved how our daughters  portraits turned out and we can’t thank her and her husband enough for their artistry, hard work and the compassion and warmth they weave in throughout the process.

  Kristen and her husband at KDI Photography are amazing! They really captured the essence of our emotions thru their photography skills and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Kristen was so welcoming to our family and super accommodating through the whole photo shoot. They make the whole process very intimate and comfortable. Their office and studio felt like stepping into a warm and loving home, always offering us beverages and snacks and space for anything we desired. Thank you both so much, and for the memories we will have in our own home forever!

  This is our second time going to Kristen for our family photos. I am so impressed with her skills in photography and working with my kids and husband. She creates and captures great shots of everyone in my family. I highly recommend KDI! :)

  Kristen Iwai has been capturing our family’s moments in life for over 17 years now. Her images encompass the story of our life . She’s incredibly talented, professional and makes the experience welcoming and fun! I cannot recommend KDI Photography enough.

  I’ve known Kristen for years and have always admired her work, but had yet to take advantage of her incredible talent as a photographer until just recently. My husband and I were expecting our first baby and I knew immediately that I wanted Kristen to document the process. We met with her in her office and she was so kind and professional. Once the time came for the maternity shoot, I was feeling very pregnant and not looking forward to the shoot. I couldn’t have been more surprised and impressed when we saw the photos. Somehow she was able to capture the blossoming of our family (dog included!) to perfection. Once our daughter made her appearance, the newborn session was equally as amazing and captured all the emotion that comes with having a newborn. We are very much looking forward to our next 2 sessions and highly recommend KDI to anyone looking for timeless, beautiful portraits.

  KDI has been an extension of our Arizona family. Kristen has gone above and beyond what I would have ever expected in a family photographer! Our pictures of our growing family make our house a home!

  I met Kristen a few weeks after my first son was born, just as things were shutting down during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. I was a new mom with no idea what was happening in the world. I called Kristen to explore options for newborn photos. I didn’t know what I was doing or what to expect. It was like Kristen was sent to provide a sense of security for us. Her professionalism and sense of calm allowed me to step back and just enjoy some precious moments as a new family. She provided not only photos, but a sense of peace and some precious memories. Four years later, she is still our family photographer. Recently, with our second child, we did more family photos. We checked in before the photos and I was anxious and unprepared. I didn’t think I could pull it together for us to have decent family photos. Once again, Kristen was calm that I needed. She assured me that no matter what, we were going to be getting important and beautiful moments for our family. And we did. I’m so glad that I came across Kristen’s page one day in the parking lot of our pediatrician, searching for a newborn photographer. At this stage, she knows our family so well that I am sure we not only have a photographer in her, but a friend. I highly recommend.

  I had such a wonderful experience with Kristin! She made me feel safe and heard, especially with such a new experience for myself! The pictures turned out beautifully and I seriously cannot wait to share these shots with my friends and family. If you are looking for a sign to get some pictures taken, then here it is :)

  Kristen has now done senior photo packages for both of my kids. Kristen worked with us every step of the way to create a fantastic array of pictures: large portraits for our walls, small contrasting photos, gifts for grandparents, and announcement cards.

Most importantly, she was able to capture the unique personalities of each kid, bathed in the golden light of the Flagstaff landscape in fall.  This combination makes these pictures works of art.  Each time I walk by the portraits on my wall, I feel the warmth of fall days and the spontaneity of our photo session with Kristen.  I  see my kids looking backwards, towards their childhood in Flagstaff, and forward, to the excitement of college and their future adult lives. Kristen captured this moment in time, and I will be forever grateful.

NEWBORN PORTRAITS FAQ's

Accordian FAQs Newborn

When is the best time to schedule newborn portraits?

We say this depends on the postpartum mom. Ideally, we love to do newborn portraits within the first two weeks.

However, if the mom is recovering or the family needs more time, anytime in the first couple of months is a great time for newborn photography.

How long does a newborn portrait session take?

We recommend you block out 2 hours for a newborn portrait session, so we allow time for you to feed or change the baby, sip your tea, and basically, not stress!

Plus, we may spend some time waiting for those cute, newborn cross-eyed faces to change. 🙂

Where should we do our newborn photos?

We recommend that you do newborn portraits in our cozy Flagstaff photo studio, with lots of comfort items, great lighting, comfortable sets, and ideal temperature.
We find that newborns outdoors are sometimes cold, and are visually dwarfed by the grand Flagstaff landscape features.

Can I bring my family to our newborn photography session or is it just the baby?

Please bring the family to your newborn photo session! Your baby will always have a record of how loved they were when they arrived.

Can you photoshop me to look 50 pounds lighter and 10 years younger?

I’m sorry, no. But I promise, you will have a photographer who will help you look your best with great lighting, flattering positions, and some smoothing Photoshop. 🙂 Tell me your concerns and we will have your back!

Does my baby need to be asleep in our neonatal portraits?

Your baby does not have to be asleep.

Whether your newborn is wide awake or sound asleep, that’s who he or she is at that moment. To me, that’s beautiful.

At your newborn session, we don't expect your baby to be asleep in every picture and we dont try to copy overdone trends or propping babies in non-natural positions. We want to show YOUR new little baby's unique personality, not the latest fad. (By the way, new babies aren’t actually able to prop their own heads up in their hands.)

Can I feed and change my baby in your studio?

Absolutely!

Our downtown Flagstaff portrait photography studio has it's own parking and all the comfort items you could need. We have a changing table with newborn diapers and wipes, burp cloths, drinks, snacks, even a Boppy pillow so you can feed your baby while you're here.

I feel awkward in front of the camera, can you help?

Yes! That’s our specialty. 🙂

During your portrait session, you’ll have a director to guide you, to tell you what to do with your hands. You don't need to be a model or an actor. We’ve got your back.

What is the turnaround time on my photos?

The finished artwork we'll create will be ready in 3-7 weeks from your View and Order Meeting, depending on what you order. That gives us time to loving Photoshop each image, to test print and be sure every portrait of your newborn is up to our meticulous standards.

How do I schedule my newborn photography session?

Start with that Schedule a Call button. We’ll have an informal conversation that will answer your questions and give you everything you need to get going with your newborn portraits.

What are KDI Photography’s business hours?

Monday through Friday from 9am - 5pm, by appointment.

Where is KDI Photography studio in Flagstaff?

Our photo studio is located at 724 N. Humphreys Street, Flagstaff AZ

We’re right across the street from Kickstand Kafe, with our own parking lot. 🙂

Do you have parking?

We sure do! The parking for our photography studio is on the Sullivan Street side of the building.

How much does a newborn photo session package cost?

See newborn portrait session investment, above.

Do you offer payment plans and gift registries?

Yes, we do! Ask us about these at our Planning meeting.

We can't wait to meet you.
