Find the Best Photographers in Gillette

Da.sh.ur. Photography, run by Danielle Urman out of a studio suite on West Lakeway Road, works from a fine-art philosophy rather than a standard price-sheet approach: every session is built around revealing a specific emotion or relationship rather than checking off a pose list. That approach shapes how she handles newborn work. Rather than the classic posed, swaddled newborn style, Danielle only takes on newborn sessions when they’re built into a family sitting, with detail shots of tiny hands and feet woven into images of parents and siblings holding the baby. It’s a narrower newborn offering than most studios advertise, but it’s an honest one, and it fits her broader catalog of family, senior, headshot, and branding photography for Gillette and northeastern Wyoming. Clients describe her as thorough and quick with turnaround, and past sessions for families like the Gunns and business owner Caiti Jackson point to someone equally comfortable behind a corporate headshot and a living-room family sitting. Outfits, props, and a stock of more than a dozen handmade gowns are available for studio sessions, so parents don’t need to arrive with a wardrobe plan already worked out. For families who want their new baby folded into a real family portrait rather than a solo newborn set, texting ahead to confirm the family-style format is the way to book. 

Anne Fischer runs her studio out of a storefront on South Gillette Avenue, and her Yelp portfolio reads like a checklist for the exact stages new parents want documented: a fresh 48 session in the first two days, a softer lifestyle newborn sitting once things settle down, and maternity portraits in the months before that. That kind of staged approach, rather than one generic “baby session,” suggests someone who has built a real process around infant photography instead of adding it as an afterthought to weddings or seniors. Her studio keeps regular six-day-a-week hours, open Tuesday through Sunday, which matters in a town where a lot of photographers only shoot part-time around other jobs. Because she’s newer to online review platforms, there isn’t yet a long public track record to point to, but her business-verified service list on Yelp explicitly names family portraits, maternity photos, newborn and baby photos, and event photography as her core offerings. For Gillette families who want a nearby studio built specifically around the maternity-to-newborn timeline rather than a photographer who occasionally squeezes in a baby session, she’s a straightforward local option to reach out to directly. 

Tessa Andujo runs Safe Haven Photography around a narrow, deliberate focus: maternity, newborn, and baby portraiture in and around Gillette, rather than trying to cover weddings, seniors, and everything in between. That specialization shows in a client base large enough to generate 67 reviews with a 98 percent recommendation rate, an unusually strong track record for a single-genre photographer in a market this size. Her studio work favors soft, warm-toned backdrops and simple floral or knit accents, letting a baby’s expressions carry each image rather than competing with an elaborate set. Because maternity, newborn, and later baby milestone sessions are all part of the same core service rather than add-ons, families can book Tessa once during pregnancy and continue with her through a baby’s first year without switching photographers partway through. The volume of long-standing reviews suggests a business that’s been trusted by Gillette-area families over an extended stretch, not a recent hobbyist operation. For parents who specifically want a studio that treats newborn and baby photography as its main craft, not a side offering squeezed between other session types, Safe Haven Photography’s narrow focus is exactly the point. 

Anne Fischer’s path into newborn photography runs through three decades as a birth and postpartum doula before she ever picked up a camera professionally, and that background sets Anne & Me Photography apart from a typical studio newborn business. She’s a Certified Birth Photographer as well as a certified pregnancy loss and end-of-life doula, and she’s an affiliated photographer with organizations including Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, a program that provides remembrance photography for families experiencing infant loss. That range means her newborn work isn’t limited to the joyful, healthy-baby sessions most studios advertise; she’s equipped for the full spectrum of what a birth can bring, and comfortable being present in a delivery room rather than only a studio. Her posted newborn galleries lean soft and detail-focused, with floral headbands and warm knit blankets photographed in close, gentle crops that read more like a memory than a staged portrait. Because her service area explicitly spans Gillette outward into Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, and both Dakotas, she’s built her business around travel rather than expecting families to come to a single studio location. For Gillette families who value a photographer who understands birth from the inside, not just from behind a lens, and who can be trusted with both celebratory and difficult moments, Anne & Me Photography offers experience that’s genuinely uncommon in the newborn photography space. 

Linda, the photographer behind Sundance Girl Photography, spent years as a 911 dispatcher and an Air Force crew chief before turning a farm-raised eye for detail into a full-time photography business out of the Black Hills. She now travels a 75-mile radius from her home base in Sundance, which reaches into Gillette for newborn and maternity work alongside her wedding and portrait clients. Her newborn galleries favor a quiet, documentary tone: black-and-white frames of tiny hands and feet next to a parent’s, soft window light instead of a heavy studio setup, and very little in the way of staged props. That same unhurried approach carries over from her wedding work, where she’s earned Couples’ Choice recognition for several years running and been featured in regional bridal magazines. Clients booking a newborn session with Linda often mention feeling like they’re working with someone who has done this long enough to read a fussy baby without rushing the moment. Because she splits her calendar across weddings, portraits, and newborn sessions, and drives in from outside Gillette, families should expect to book several weeks out and to budget for a modest travel fee on top of the session price. 

DC Photography has built a loyal following in Gillette around one specialty: the delicate window between pregnancy and a baby’s first year. The studio’s posed newborn work leans on soft wraps, simple baskets, and warm natural light rather than props that fight for attention, letting a baby’s expressions carry each image. Clients consistently mention how patient the sessions feel, since newborns set the pace rather than the clock, with plenty of pauses for feeding and soothing between poses. Beyond the newborn days, the studio follows families through milestone check-ins across baby’s first year, so parents end up with a real timeline rather than a single disconnected sitting. Maternity sessions are offered as a natural lead-in, often booked as a pair with the newborn session so the two galleries share a visual thread. Reviews single out the photographer’s ease with fussy or colicky babies, a skill that only comes from repetition. Communication has occasionally lagged during especially busy stretches, something past clients have flagged, so booking a few weeks ahead of a due date is the safer route. For Gillette-area families who want a specialist rather than a generalist photographer squeezing in a newborn session between weddings, DC Photography remains one of the few local studios built around babies specifically. 

Gillette Dream Photography traces back to a photographer who started with a disposable camera in her grandmother’s garden and never really put it down — a detail she still leads with on her own site. Her session menu now spans the full family-life arc: wedding, engagement, family, maternity, first-year and cake-smash milestones, senior portraits, and a newborn line she calls “Little Lights of the World.” The newborn portfolio itself is the strongest evidence of what she actually delivers rather than what she claims to: tightly cropped, black-and-white detail shots of tiny feet cradled in parents’ hands, soft-focus sleeping poses, and quiet in-home documentation rather than an elaborate prop-heavy studio setup. That documentary lean carries through her family and milestone galleries too, all shot on location around Gillette and Campbell County rather than in a fixed studio space. She doesn’t publish package pricing for newborn sessions on her site, working instead through a direct booking conversation once a due date or baby’s age is known. For a Gillette family who wants soft, intimate newborn images built around genuine parent-and-baby connection rather than heavily staged wrapping and posing, her existing body of newborn work speaks for itself.

 

JNT Photography runs out of Moorcroft, about thirty miles east of Gillette, and covers a service radius that stretches across northeast Wyoming into western South Dakota — Hulett, Sundance, Newcastle, Upton, Rozet, and as far as Belle Fourche and Sturgis. That wide territory reflects the reality of rural photography work: families in small towns without a local studio often drive to the nearest one, or in this case, the photographer comes to them. Tiffany Humes runs newborn sessions in the client’s own home rather than a studio, timing them for the window between five and fourteen days old when babies tend to sleep more deeply and settle into poses more easily. Sessions typically run two to three hours, sometimes stretching to four, which is longer than many studio bookings allow — a deliberate choice that leaves room for feeding breaks, diaper changes, and the general unpredictability of a newborn’s schedule. Beyond the traditional sleeping poses, sessions build in time for family portraits and sibling shots, so parents walk away with more than just solo baby images. For families scattered across small towns in the Powder River Basin and the Black Hills border region, having a newborn photographer willing to travel rather than requiring a trip into Gillette or Rapid City removes a real logistical barrier during an already exhausting first few weeks. 

Three separate newborn packages give Gillette families a clear starting point when booking with Kreative Memories Photo & Video, ranging from a shorter swaddled-only mini session up to a full luxe experience with four styled setups. The studio’s newborn work leans classic — soft neutral backdrops, simple headbands and wraps, and close-up poses that keep the focus on tiny features like hands, lips, and eyelashes rather than elaborate props. Sessions run two to three hours depending on the package, with built-in flexibility for feeding and settling breaks, and every package includes optional family or sibling portraits at the end. The studio also maintains a client closet of wraps, headbands, and accessories so parents aren’t required to source their own props ahead of time. Beyond newborns, the business covers maternity, milestone, and family sessions, along with videography and drone services, making it a fairly full-service operation for growing families in the Gillette area. According to client feedback, the photographer behind the newborn sessions is known for keeping the studio warm and staying flexible when a baby needs extra time to settle. For families who want tiered pricing options and a straightforward package structure, Kreative Memories Photo & Video lays out its newborn offerings more transparently than many area studios. 

Trey Jodozi picked up a camera during high school in Gillette and never set it down, turning a teenage hobby into sixteen years behind the lens and, for the last seven, a full-time studio built around new babies and growing families. Wild Rose Photography works out of a cozy Kendrick Avenue studio suite, though Trey and her team, Julie Tachick and Kaycee Westbrook, are just as comfortable posing a two-week-old on location in a client’s own nursery. Sessions lean toward soft, warm tones and simple backdrops that keep the focus on tiny fingers, sleepy expressions, and the parents and older siblings who came along to meet the newest member of the family. Newborn appointments are typically scheduled within the first two weeks, when babies still curl and sleep easily into the classic poses families request, though later ‘fresh start’ sessions are available for families who miss that early window. As a mother of two herself, Trey brings a practical, unhurried pace to every appointment, building in breaks for feeding and soothing so nothing feels rushed. Beyond newborns, the studio also handles maternity, Fresh 48 hospital visits, milestone and cake-smash sessions, and full baby’s-first-year packages, giving Gillette families one consistent photographer to call on through every stage of a baby’s early months. 

Steve and Tracy Gale run Gale Fine Arts & Wyo Wedding Photography as a true creative partnership — married to each other and co-photographers of the same weddings, splitting contemporary and photojournalistic coverage between them. Their background outside straight photography, including charcoal portraiture, shows up in how they think about a finished wedding album: not just a set of digital files, but a physical body of work. Couples can order their wedding images as canvases, printed and matted prints, or bound albums in addition to standard digital delivery, an option that’s increasingly rare among photographers who default to digital-only galleries. The studio takes on one wedding per day, a deliberate limit meant to keep their full attention on a single couple rather than double-booking a Saturday. Their most-booked wedding package pairs an engagement session with extended day-of coverage and travel between multiple venues, useful for Wyoming ceremonies that split a ceremony site from a separate reception location. Beyond weddings, Steve and Tracy also offer boudoir and trash-the-dress sessions for couples wanting additional creative shoots tied to the wedding. For a Gillette couple who wants tangible, print-ready keepsakes alongside their digital gallery, Gale Fine Arts brings both artistic range and a print-focused finishing process. 

Wyolivin Photography is run by a husband-and-wife team who bring a veteran-owned, family-first sensibility to their wedding coverage. Rather than splitting duties, both photographers are present on the wedding day, which means one can focus on the couple while the other catches guest reactions, details, and candid moments happening elsewhere at the venue. Their stated style favors natural and traditional photography — timeless, classic compositions over heavily trend-driven editing — with the goal of building a gallery couples will still love flipping through decades from now. Packages are built around flexibility: a second shooter is standard rather than an upsell, and couples can add hours, extra locations, digital file packages, and dedicated engagement sessions. The team has also photographed destination weddings outside Wyoming when couples want to get married somewhere other than home. Reviewers on WeddingWire describe photographers who genuinely listened to their vision and delivered images that exceeded expectations, with one couple calling their wedding photos ‘beyond amazing.’ For couples who want the reassurance of two photographers working their day rather than one, plus a veteran-owned local business to support, Wyolivin is a straightforward, dependable choice in the Gillette market. 

Deanna Spain has run PhoenixPhotos Photography out of downtown Gillette since 2015, building an 11-year track record that now includes a #1 ranking for family photography in the city and a perfect 5.0 rating across her wedding reviews. Her approach to a wedding day mixes what she calls ‘unbridled happiness’ with a touch of dramatic art direction — she wants couples relaxed enough to forget the camera is even there, which shows up in a portfolio heavy on genuine laughter and movement rather than stiff, staged portraits. Based at 700 S Douglas Hwy, Deanna covers weddings, elopements, engagements, and family sessions, and her willingness to travel has made her a go-to option for couples getting married outside city limits as well as in Gillette proper. Her wedding gallery shows a comfort working across seasons and settings, from golden-hour outdoor ceremonies to more intimate indoor receptions. For a Campbell County couple weighing an established studio with roughly a decade of local wedding experience against newer options, PhoenixPhotos offers a track record backed by reviews, a real storefront address, and a style built around candid emotion rather than a rigid formula. 

What sets Kreative Memories apart in the Gillette wedding market is right there in the name: photographer Sydny and her team cover both stills and video, giving couples a single vendor relationship instead of coordinating separate photo and video contracts. Based at 101 W Lakeway Rd, the studio has built a loyal local following, with reviewers repeatedly calling out clear communication and dependable turnaround as much as the final images themselves. Sydny’s wedding portfolio leans into genuine, unscripted connection — walking the aisle, first looks, reception toasts — captured with an eye for Wyoming’s open-sky backdrops. Couples aren’t limited to a Gillette ceremony, either; the studio explicitly offers travel throughout the state and internationally for destination weddings. Separate phone lines for photo and video bookings keep logistics simple when a couple wants both services running in sync on the wedding day. With reviews putting them at a 5.0 average and a track record built specifically around weddings rather than general portraiture, Kreative Memories has become one of the more established names couples in the Gillette area turn to when they want a combined photo-and-video record of the day, not just a gallery of stills. 

Behind the lens at Da.sh.ur. Photography is Danielle Urman, a Gillette-based photographer whose studio at 105 W Lakeway Road has built a reputation on emotional honesty rather than staged perfection. Danielle describes her mission in three parts: revealing the true emotion and spirit of the people she’s photographing, capturing the dynamics between them, and telling a story that leaves viewers actually feeling something — not just looking at a pretty picture. That philosophy carries directly into her wedding and elopement coverage, where she leans into candid, in-between moments as much as the planned ones. Couples booking with Da.sh.ur. can expect a fine-art sensibility: rich, saturated color, deliberate composition, and an eye trained to catch the split-second reactions that get lost in a more rigid shot list. Her online booking system streamlines scheduling for couples juggling wedding-planning logistics, and her Google reviews — a full 5.0 average across 31 of them — point to consistency clients can rely on. Da.sh.ur. is a good fit for couples who want their wedding album to read like a story rather than a checklist, whether that’s a full Campbell County wedding or a smaller elopement in the surrounding Wyoming landscape. Local, established, and highly reviewed, she’s earned the top spot among Gillette’s wedding photographers for a reason.
