Find the Best Photographers in Casper

Jessica Simkin calls herself a milestone photographer, a fitting label for a Casper-based business that groups family, maternity, and newborn work together under one gallery rather than splitting babies off as a separate specialty. Her own description of her style, warm and emotive with soft golden light and a preference for outdoor settings like fields and horses when weather allows, comes through even in her indoor newborn work, where close, intimate crops of tiny hands and feet replace the wide landscapes. With eight years behind the camera, she’s built a portfolio that swings comfortably between full wedding days and quieter, in-home newborn sessions, and reviews mention her staying relaxed even when a session goes sideways, including one family whose five dogs joined the shoot uninvited. That flexibility matters for a newborn session, where a fussy baby or a last-minute schedule change is closer to the norm than the exception. She describes her approach as balancing posed and candid moments, so a Casper family can expect both a few deliberately composed portraits and the kind of unplanned, in-between moments that tend to mean more years later. Standard newborn and family galleries are typically delivered within one to three weeks. For parents who’d rather book a photographer already comfortable with kids, chaos, and changing plans than someone who treats newborn sessions as a rigid formula, Jessica Simkin’s milestone-focused approach is a solid match. 

Terina Frederiksen already has a following in Casper for maternity work, and her business, Terina Mirae Photography, runs newborn sessions as a natural continuation of that same pregnancy-to-baby timeline rather than as an unrelated add-on service. She’s held a camera since age 13, starting out in Spearfish Canyon before eventually opening a studio at 601 SE Wyoming Blvd, and that long runway shows in a portfolio that spans weddings, boudoir, portraits, maternity, and family sessions alongside newborn work. Reviewers mention booking her for newborn photos even a couple months after birth and still walking away with genuinely excellent images, which suggests some flexibility around the traditional two-week newborn window for families who miss it. Her online reviews currently average a perfect 5.0 across nine ratings, a strong signal for a market as small as Casper’s. Because her studio already handles a client’s maternity photos, many families simply continue with the same photographer for the newborn session rather than starting the vetting process over with someone new right after a birth. For Casper parents who value continuity, having one photographer document a pregnancy and then the baby’s earliest days means a more cohesive set of images and a photographer who already knows the family before the camera comes out. 

Houston Hanna has been photographing Casper families since 2010, and his general session menu folds newborns in alongside portraits, maternity, and engagement work rather than treating babies as a separate specialty tier. His portfolio includes a documented hospital newborn session, close crops of a sleeping infant’s face and hands still in the receiving blanket, shot in the flat, unglamorous light of a hospital room rather than a styled home studio. That willingness to shoot on location, hospital room included, matters for families who want a fresh, early-days session without moving a days-old baby anywhere. His style leans toward natural light and genuine, unposed moments over stiff formal arrangements, an approach reviewers specifically credit for putting kids and, by extension, new parents at ease during a session. Sessions run about an hour with 20 to 40 edited photos delivered through a private online gallery within two to three weeks, a straightforward structure with a published flat rate rather than a tiered pricing guessing game. He also serves the towns around Casper, including Mills, Evansville, Bar Nunn, Glenrock, and Douglas, which is useful for families just outside the city limits. For Casper parents who’d rather book one photographer across a maternity session, a newborn session, and family portraits down the line than hunt for a new specialist each time, Houston Hanna’s general-session model offers exactly that continuity. 

Amy Elizabeth has been running her photography business in Casper for nearly 12 years, a stretch long enough that her own bio traces the hobby back further still, to years spent living in Ecuador where she says she fell for the country’s color and light before ever turning it into a career. Her Newborns gallery favors quiet, in-home black-and-white lifestyle images — a new sibling meeting the baby, a swaddled infant against a familiar couch or blanket — over a styled studio setup with props and backdrops, consistent with how she describes her overall approach: “storytelling with my camera” built around genuine interactions rather than posed perfection. Session pricing is published outright rather than requiring an inquiry: $395 for a 30-minute session or $525 for a full hour, both with a $150 deposit, and every session includes an online gallery with an unlimited number of edited images and full download rights, plus optional professional prints ordered straight from the site. She’s a mother of four herself, which shows up in her practical styling advice for sessions — solid neutral colors, limiting busy prints in a group, and bringing snacks and a favorite toy for younger kids to stay comfortable during a shoot. For a Casper family wanting straightforward pricing and an experienced, long-established local photographer for newborn or in-home lifestyle photos, her nearly 12-year track record speaks for itself.

 

Chasity Ann Photography, run by Chasity Lindquist out of Casper, treats newborn work as one chapter in a much larger visual story a family builds over time — her service menu spans boudoir, branding, maternity, family, graduation, and wedding photography alongside newborn sessions, all under one photographer’s eye. She describes her own philosophy simply: ‘photography is storytelling,’ and that shows in how she talks about her approach, emphasizing candid, emotional images with a sense of movement rather than stiff, static posing. That’s a meaningful distinction for newborn work specifically, since a baby rarely holds still long enough for a heavily engineered shot, and a photographer already comfortable working with motion and unscripted moments tends to adapt better to a fussy infant than one trained purely on formal studio setups. Her natural-light aesthetic favors soft, realistic color over heavily filtered or artificially staged imagery, giving newborn portraits a lived-in warmth rather than a glossy, catalog look. Booking runs through an online marketplace platform rather than a standalone business website, which keeps scheduling straightforward for Casper parents trying to lock in a date around an unpredictable due date. For families who want a newborn photographer capable of also handling maternity photos beforehand and family portraits afterward, having one storyteller cover that whole arc offers some continuity that switching photographers between milestones doesn’t. 

Pax Photography, run by Paxton Elliott in Casper, keeps pricing refreshingly transparent for a newborn photographer — a thirty-minute session with twenty edited images starts at $100, with a longer hour-long option running $150 for thirty edits. That straightforward, published pricing stands out in a niche where cost is often only revealed after a phone call or contact form. The service list reads broad rather than newborn-exclusive: couples, elopements, family, graduation, maternity, pets, and weddings all sit alongside newborn sessions, suggesting a generalist who can follow a family from an engagement shoot through pregnancy and into their baby’s first portraits. Past client feedback describes Paxton as patient and full of ideas, someone who keeps a session moving and comfortable rather than stiff or rushed — a meaningful trait when the subject is a newborn who won’t cooperate on cue. Sessions run through the Unscripted photographer marketplace, which handles booking and scheduling directly online rather than requiring a back-and-forth email exchange to lock in a date. For budget-conscious Casper families who want to know the price before they ever pick up the phone, that combination of published rates and a wide service menu makes Pax Photography an easy one to compare against pricier studio-only newborn specialists. 

Jen Hebert Photography has been documenting Casper births and newborns since well before ‘birth photography’ became a recognized genre — her blog archive stretches back over a decade, with posts on specific families’ birth stories going back to 2010, and fresh newborn work still being posted as recently as this year. That longevity matters in birth photography specifically, since it’s a niche that requires being on call for labor and delivery, not just scheduling a session weeks out. Her tagline, ‘collect good people, truly good people, and protect and love them the best you can,’ hints at how personally she treats each family’s story rather than treating newborn work as a transactional add-on to a portrait business. Beyond Casper, she has photographed birth stories as far afield as Seattle, San Diego, and Utah, suggesting a photographer willing to travel for clients who specifically want her documentary approach rather than settling for whoever’s local. Sessions blend in-home newborn photography with birth documentation, prioritizing real, sometimes messy moments over the posed, prop-heavy newborn aesthetic that dominates much of the industry. For Casper parents who want a newborn photographer with an actual multi-year track record in the same market rather than someone who just started shooting babies last season, her archive alone tells that story. 

Fine art sensibility sets Alicia Crispell Photography apart in the Casper newborn photography market, with a portfolio built around moody, painterly lighting rather than the bright, airy look common in much of the genre. Alicia describes her work as portraiture that finds the quiet magic where the human spirit meets the rhythm of the natural world, and that description carries through into her newborn sessions, which favor deep, warm tones and soft directional light over high-key studio setups. Many of her newborn images include a parent or sibling in the frame, emphasizing connection and touch rather than isolating the baby against a plain backdrop. The overall effect reads more like a fine art print than a typical portrait session, which has drawn clients who want something beyond a standard newborn photo package. Sessions are generally held in a home-like studio setting that allows for the natural, low-contrast lighting central to her style. Because her approach relies heavily on available and directional light rather than flash or heavy prop staging, sessions tend to move at an unhurried pace. For Casper parents drawn to a more artistic, editorial take on newborn portraiture, Alicia Crispell Photography offers a distinctly different visual style from the area’s more traditional studios. 

Haley Weddle approaches newborn photography from a documentary angle, favoring unposed, in-the-moment images over heavily styled studio setups. Working under the name Haley Rae Photography, she photographs newborns either in a client’s own home or in her studio, prioritizing natural interactions between a baby and their family over structured poses. Her style leans toward candid storytelling — messy hair, half-asleep parents, and the small chaos of a household adjusting to a new baby are treated as part of the story rather than something to edit out. This approach tends to appeal to families who want portraits that reflect real life in the newborn stage rather than a polished, prop-heavy aesthetic. Sessions are typically scheduled within the first couple of weeks after birth, when newborns are still sleepy and easiest to work with in a relaxed setting. Haley also photographs weddings and families, which shows in the way she handles group dynamics during sibling and parent portions of a newborn session. For Casper families who prefer authentic, lived-in imagery over a formally staged shoot, her documentary-leaning style offers a noticeably different option from more traditional newborn studios in the area. 

Casper families looking for a newborn photographer with a genuine Wyoming sensibility often find their way to Christina’s studio, where cowboy hats, wood-grain backdrops, and hand-knit wraps turn a first photo session into something that feels distinctly local. Christina built Soul Smile Images around the idea that a newborn session should feel unhurried — she works around the baby’s schedule rather than the other way around, pausing for feedings, soothing, and diaper changes without rushing the process. Her portfolio spans newborn, maternity, family, and senior portraits, but it’s her newborn work that shows the most patience: soft natural light, muted earth tones, and props sourced specifically to reflect the region rather than generic studio gear. Sessions can be booked in the studio or in a client’s home, and she offers shortened mini-session options for families who want simpler, quicker portraits. Parents who have worked with her frequently mention how calm she keeps the room, even when a session runs long because a baby needs an extra hour to settle. For Casper parents who want portraits that feel like Wyoming rather than a generic backdrop, Soul Smile Images has become a dependable, locally rooted choice for documenting a baby’s earliest days. 

Travis Gitthens Photography has built its Casper wedding business around a simple promise found right in client testimonials: capturing what couples themselves might miss in the rush of their own wedding day. One client summed it up bluntly — “Travis captured what I could not see” — a line that gets at the core of his approach: staying observant enough to catch the in-between moments most people are too busy living to notice. Based in Casper, Travis works across weddings, engagements, family portraits, senior photos, and individual portrait sessions, giving him a broad base of experience with how people react to a camera in different settings, from formal ceremonies to relaxed family gatherings. His wedding testimonials specifically single out emotional impact over technical polish, describing images that reveal beauty and joy clients didn’t fully register in the moment. That client-first focus extends to his working style on the day itself, with couples noting his professionalism and ability to blend structured coverage with a more revealing, observational eye. For Casper-area couples who want a wedding photographer as comfortable directing traditional formal portraits as he is catching the unplanned, unrepeatable moments in between, Travis Gitthens Photography remains a longstanding, locally rooted option. 

Ben Winckler’s path into wedding photography started long before it was a business — as a kid experimenting with his parents’ cameras — and turned professional in his twenties after he got his hands on a medium format Bronica. That analog-era foundation still shows in how he shoots today: candid, documentary-style coverage built around natural light and unscripted human emotion rather than a checklist of posed shots. Based in Casper, Ben has carved out a niche as a destination wedding and adventure elopement photographer, regularly traveling to Jackson Hole, the Bighorns, the Snowy Range, and as far as Iceland to document couples who want their wedding photos to look like an adventure rather than a formal event. He describes his own approach as chasing symmetry, light, and moments “beyond surface level,” and clients can expect an experience built around genuine connection — Ben has said outright that couples should expect as many jokes from him as base layers and lenses on a shoot day. Outside of weddings, he’s an active trail runner and father, interests that inform the outdoor, go-anywhere energy his elopement work is known for. For couples planning a mountain wedding, a backcountry elopement, or any ceremony built around Wyoming’s landscape rather than a traditional venue, Ben Winckler Photography is a natural fit. 

Jade Schanck built her photography business after relocating to the United States from Canada, turning what started as a stay-at-home mom’s passion project into a working wedding photography studio serving Casper and the surrounding tri-state region. Her standard wedding package is refreshingly straightforward: an engagement session paired with at least four hours of wedding day coverage, delivered as high-resolution digital files along with print and album options, with packages starting at $800 — an entry point that makes her one of the more budget-friendly full-service wedding photographers in the Casper market. Couples who want more can build out their coverage with add-ons like a boudoir session, save-the-date photos, additional hours of coverage, multiple location shoots, or even a trash-the-dress session after the wedding. Jade’s reach extends beyond Wyoming into Colorado and Montana, giving her experience photographing weddings across a range of Western landscapes rather than a single fixed backdrop. As a newer name in the Casper wedding photography scene, she doesn’t yet carry a long online review history, but her transparent, itemized package structure and willingness to travel across three states have made her a practical option for couples comparing prices before locking in a photographer. Booking and consultations can be handled directly through her website. 

Emily Bonde describes herself first as a full-time wife and mother, and second as the photographer behind Emily Bonde Photography — a balance that seems to work in her favor, given the 5-star average she’s earned from wedding clients on Zola. Based in Casper, Emily shoots with a clean, bright aesthetic and a reputation for staying out of the way on the wedding day itself; more than one review specifically mentions how she “seamlessly” captures the ceremony and reception without ever feeling like a disruptive presence. That low-key approach pairs with genuinely responsive communication during planning, something past clients call out as much as the final images. Pricing is straightforward: full wedding day coverage and elopement packages both start at $1,200, making her one of the more accessible full-coverage options for Casper couples. While weddings are a core focus, Emily also shoots family sessions, rounding out a portfolio built on real, unposed connection rather than heavily directed poses. For couples who want a photographer who treats their wedding day with the same care she’d want for her own family’s memories, and who value someone who’s easy to work with from the first email to the final gallery delivery, Emily Bonde Photography is a strong, budget-conscious choice in the Casper wedding market. 

Behind Hayden Esau Photography is exactly who the name suggests: Hayden, a wife and mother of four who picked up a camera and turned it into a full wedding photography business based in Casper. That family-first background shows up in how she runs a wedding day — client reviews on WeddingWire, where she holds a perfect 5.0 rating, describe her as one of the most professional vendors couples worked with throughout their entire planning process. Her style leans natural and bright, chasing genuine joy over stiff formality, and she starts every client relationship the same low-key way: an initial coffee meeting to get to know the couple before the camera ever comes out. Wedding coverage starts at $3,970 and includes an online gallery so couples can relive the day long after it’s over. Hayden isn’t limited to Casper weddings, either — she’s built her business around travel, packing up for destination weddings across Wyoming, Colorado, and Montana, and she offers virtual consultations for couples planning from out of state. Outside of weddings, she also shoots senior portraits. For couples who want a photographer who treats the relationship as personally as the photography itself, Hayden Esau Photography has earned a loyal following of what she calls her “#hepcouples” throughout the region. 

Tayler Ford Photography, LLC has built one of the most reviewed wedding photography practices in Casper, earning a perfect 5-star average across 26 client reviews. Owner Tayler Ford works from a simple philosophy: skip the stiff, posed portraits and chase the real thing — the laugh before the vows, the hand squeeze during toasts, the unscripted seconds most photographers miss entirely. That approach has made her a go-to name for couples who want a wedding album that reads like a memory rather than a magazine spread. Beyond weddings, Tayler’s studio covers engagements, couples’ sessions, boudoir, family portraits, seniors, and maternity work, giving her a wide-angle understanding of how people actually move and connect in front of a camera — experience that carries directly into how she works a wedding day floor. She’s currently booking into the 2027 wedding season, a sign of the demand her word-of-mouth reputation has generated locally. Clients consistently point to her communication and easygoing presence on the day itself as much as the final images, noting that she blends into the background rather than directing every frame. For couples in Casper and the surrounding Natrona County area planning a wedding built around genuine moments instead of forced smiles, Tayler Ford Photography remains one of the strongest, most consistently praised options in town.
