Find the Best Photographers in Wyoming

For Buffalo families, Melissa Smith Photography is a roughly 30-mile drive north up I-90 to Sheridan, where Melissa works out of her home base. She brings an unusual set of credentials to the work: 25 years of marriage, parenting spanning 24 years, a background as a classroom teacher, and a present-day life that mixes farming with photography. Newborn sessions sit alongside family, fine art, senior, wedding, engagement, and headshot work on her list of services, and her recent posts show sleepy days-old babies photographed in simple wraps and baskets, evidence that newborn work is a current and active part of her business rather than a line item she no longer books. She describes her approach as wanting to draw out the real, unposed version of a family – laughing, moving, breathing – rather than a stiff formal sitting, though she’ll do posed portraits too if that’s what a client wants. She keeps her online presence active through the year, posting client galleries from summer mini sessions through fall bookings. For a Buffalo family willing to make the short trip to Sheridan, or to ask about her coming to them, she’s a genuine, currently active newborn option in the area. 

Everglow Organic Portraiture describes its work simply: maternity, newborn, and family photography with a natural, unfussy approach rather than heavy styling or studio backdrops. Based in Sheridan, the business has run portrait sessions on location at White Goose Acres, a small local farm, giving sessions an outdoor, natural-light feel that fits the organic name. Posts through the year show a small but steady stream of client work – a spring farm session announcement, a midwinter post about growing families, and an August update celebrating a new baby’s arrival – suggesting a business run at a personal, unhurried pace rather than a high-volume studio. With under 400 Facebook followers, it’s a smaller operation than some of Sheridan’s more established names, but the explicit newborn-maternity-family focus and the recent, consistent posting are a stronger signal of real, current work than follower count alone. Contact is by phone or email directly rather than through an online booking system, which fits the low-key, farm-session feel of the business. For Sheridan parents who want their newborn photos taken outdoors or in a natural setting rather than a traditional studio backdrop, Everglow is a genuine, currently active option worth reaching out to. 

Melissa Smith brings an unusual resume to newborn photography in Sheridan: 25 years of marriage, parenting that now spans 24 years, a stint as a classroom teacher, and a current life split between farming and photography. That blend shows up in how she talks about her work, framing sessions less as a transaction and more as an act of service and gratitude for the family in front of her lens. Her session list covers newborn, family, fine art, senior, wedding, engagement, and headshot photography, giving her a genuinely full-service range rather than a single specialty. Recent posts show newborns just days old photographed asleep in simple wraps and baskets, alongside family and senior sessions booked around Sheridan County. She keeps an active presence online, posting new client galleries through the summer and into fall rather than letting the page go quiet between bookings. Reach her directly by phone or email to check availability – as a farmer as well as a photographer, her schedule shifts with the seasons, so a little lead time helps when trying to book a newborn session in the narrow window before a baby outgrows those first sleepy days. 

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. 

Saryn Elizabeth Photography brings a working mother’s perspective to newborn portraiture in Rock Springs. Saryn picked up her first camera in 2012, and by 2016 the hobby had outgrown her day job at a local hospital enough that she left healthcare behind to shoot full time. The transition paid off fast: within a year she had more bookings than she’d ever imagined taking on as a side project. In 2020 a move that was only supposed to be temporary brought her family from Utah to Rock Springs, and a few years and two more kids into that chapter, she and her husband decided Sweetwater County was exactly where they wanted to stay – they now call nearby Green River home. Her session list runs newborn, birth, and Fresh 48 work alongside family, child, engagement, bridal, and wedding photography, a range that lets her know what a family looked like at the wedding before she’s back a year later for the nursery. Clients reach her directly by phone or email rather than through a studio front desk, which keeps scheduling simple for a Fresh 48 call that can’t wait. For Rock Springs and Green River families wanting a newborn specialist rooted in the town rather than passing through it, Saryn is a genuine local option with a decade of full-time experience behind her. 

Christina V. runs CM Photoz out of Lander, roughly 75 miles southeast of Pinedale over South Pass, and describes her own focus as weddings, portraits, commercial, events, and fine art. Her business-verified Yelp services go further, confirming newborn and baby photos alongside maternity, family, and boudoir work. Long-standing client reviews describe her as adventurous and willing to travel to unconventional locations for the right shot, wading into rivers and working around barbed-wire fences to get a family portrait exactly right, the kind of flexibility that also tends to translate well to working around a newborn’s schedule instead of the other way around. She keeps standard nine-to-five weekday and weekend hours and accepts a wide range of payment types, including cryptocurrency. Given how few dedicated newborn photographers are based in Sublette County itself, a documented, well-reviewed regional photographer willing to make the Highway 191 drive, or have Pinedale families travel to her Lander studio, fills a real gap. 

Gretchen Yost is based right in Pinedale, and while her visible Yelp portfolio is almost entirely wedding and elopement work shot around the Wind River Mountains and the Tetons, her business-verified service list quietly includes newborn and baby photos alongside maternity, family, and headshots. That gap between the public gallery and the confirmed service list is common for small-town photographers whose paid work skews toward one specialty even when they’ll happily take on others, and it’s worth knowing about rather than assuming the absence of baby photos online means the service isn’t offered. She keeps flexible around-the-clock availability listed on her profile and accepts credit cards, practical details for a rural client base that doesn’t always work standard hours. With Pinedale’s options this thin, a documented local photographer who has explicitly confirmed newborn work as part of her business, even without a dedicated gallery to browse first, is worth reaching out to directly and asking to see examples before booking. 

Jennifer K.’s Lasting Memories Photography is based in Sheridan, a short 30-mile drive from Buffalo, and she describes her own work plainly: wedding photography and senior portraits are the main focus, but newborns, children, and family sessions are genuinely part of what she books rather than an occasional favor. That directness matters in a region where small-town photographers sometimes bury baby sessions under a generic “family portraits” label without confirming it outright. She operates from a home base rather than a downtown studio, which usually means more scheduling flexibility and lower overhead passed on to clients, at the tradeoff of a smaller public portfolio to browse before reaching out. There isn’t yet a large bank of newborn-specific images posted online, so a phone consultation is the practical way to gauge fit. For Buffalo families willing to make the short trip north, or ask about her traveling to them, having a Sheridan photographer who has explicitly said yes to newborn work is a useful option to have on the list. 

Rocky Mountain Shutter Works is based on Main Street in Sheridan, a straightforward 30-mile drive north of Buffalo along the same highway corridor several other photographers on this list already travel. The business-verified Yelp service list, one of the broadest of any small operation in the Bighorn Basin, spans boudoir, couples, engagement, family, headshots, maternity, newborn and baby photos, pin-ups, senior, pet, and event photography. That range points to an affordable, generalist studio built to cover most of a family’s milestones rather than a boutique newborn specialist, which fits the owner’s own framing: beautifully done portrait work at a price that wont break the bank. There’s no public review history yet, and the visible portfolio skews toward everyday portrait sessions rather than a dedicated newborn gallery, so this is best treated as a confirmed, budget-conscious option worth a direct message rather than an established local favorite. Buffalo families without a nearby newborn specialist of their own have a real, verified alternative just up the road. 

Kasey M. is based right in Buffalo, and her business-verified Yelp services put newborn and baby photos on equal footing with maternity, family, couples, and headshot work, not tucked in as an afterthought. Her portfolio on Yelp includes a session titled simply “Baby Dax,” a real newborn sitting rather than a stock example, alongside engagement, couple, and family work from clients around the region. Her one public review, from a client who drove in from Cheyenne, praised a fast three-day turnaround and a photographer who came prepared with poses while still incorporating the client’s own ideas. She runs the business as a women-owned operation and knocks 10% off for military, veterans, first responders, and teachers, a detail that lands well in a ranching and military-adjacent community like Buffalo. Weekday afternoon hours from roughly 3:30 to 5pm, with a longer Saturday window, point to this being a scheduled side business rather than a walk-in studio, so a little advance notice goes a long way. 

Kasey M. runs Kl Photography out of Buffalo, a straight 30-mile shot down I-90/I-25 from Sheridan, and her Yelp business-verified services explicitly list newborn and baby photos alongside maternity, family, and couples work. Her one public review, from a Cheyenne client who traveled specifically for a family session, calls out fast three-day turnaround and being well-prepared with poses while still working through the client’s own requests, a decent sign for anyone nervous about handing over a squirming newborn to someone new. She keeps a women-owned business and offers a 10% discount for military, veterans, first responders, and teachers, a detail that matters in a region with a real base of all four. Her weekday afternoon hours, generally 3:30 to 5pm, plus wider Saturday availability, suggest this is scheduled around another commitment during the day, so booking a bit ahead is worth it. For Sheridan parents willing to make the short Buffalo drive, or to ask about her coming to them, it’s a genuinely confirmed, if smaller-scale, newborn option. 

Rocky Mountain Shutter Works operates out of a Main Street address in downtown Sheridan and leans hard on being an affordable, no-frills alternative to pricier studios in the area. The owner’s stated goal, “beautifully done moments at an affordable price… without breaking the bank,” shows up in a Yelp-verified service list that’s genuinely long for a solo operation, running from boudoir and headshots through maternity, newborn and baby photos, pet photography, and even pin-up styling. That breadth suggests someone building a client base across every life stage rather than chasing one specialty, which can mean less newborn-specific polish than a dedicated baby photographer but also more scheduling flexibility and friendlier pricing. Payment options include Apple Pay, Venmo, and PayPal alongside cash and cards, a small but practical detail for parents juggling a new-baby budget. With no public reviews yet, this is best approached as a documented, verified local option worth a direct message rather than a name with an established track record. 

Owner Jennifer K. is upfront on her business listing that wedding photography and senior portraiture are her main focus, but she’s just as clear that newborns, children, and family sessions are a real part of what she books, not a reluctant add-on. That plainspoken “if you need it photographed, we will do it” approach fits a small Sheridan operation that can’t afford to specialize too narrowly and still keep a full calendar. She works out of a home base on Meadowlark Lane rather than a downtown studio storefront, which tends to mean more flexible scheduling and a lower overhead reflected in pricing, at the cost of a smaller public portfolio to browse ahead of time. There isn’t a large bank of newborn-specific images posted publicly yet, so parents should expect to lean on a phone call or consultation to gauge style fit rather than scrolling a dedicated newborn gallery first. For Sheridan families who want a local, all-purpose photographer who has explicitly said newborn work is welcome rather than tolerated, that directness counts for something. 

Goffaux’s Photography works out of Powell, a short drive from Cody along the same Big Horn Basin corridor several other dual-town photographers on this list already cover. Edward Goffaux’s business-verified service list on Yelp runs unusually wide for a small operation, spanning couples, engagement, family, maternity, newborn and baby, headshot, and senior photography, and the studio keeps long weekday hours that stretch into the evening, useful for parents trying to schedule around naps and work. The visible portfolio leans toward landscape and travel work, along with a warmly reviewed portrait sitting for a longtime client, so there isn’t yet a dedicated public newborn gallery to browse before booking, but the newborn service itself is confirmed directly by the business rather than assumed from a broader family-photography label. For Cody parents willing to make the short trip to Powell, or to have Edward come to them within his stated service area, that combination of confirmed newborn work and flexible daytime-through-evening hours is a genuine, if lower-profile, local option. 

Donna Maynard’s studio sits at the center of a genuinely useful service map for southwest Wyoming, reaching past Rock Springs into Green River, Farson, and Wamsutter, small towns that otherwise have almost no local photography options of their own. Her own site frames the work as portrait, event, and modeling photography with a personalized, unhurried approach, and she keeps a small fleet of classic cars on hand for clients who want a vintage backdrop instead of a plain studio wall. Yelp’s business-verified service list adds newborn and baby photos, family portraits, and headshots to that mix alongside the couples and senior work shown on her website, rounding out a photographer who covers most of the milestones a growing family runs through. Installment payment plans are built into her pricing structure, a detail aimed squarely at families who want quality portraits without paying the full session cost upfront. For a corner of Wyoming where the nearest alternative newborn photographer can be an hour or more away, having a documented local option with years behind the camera and a flexible payment structure is a genuinely practical find. 

Brocia’s Pixel Perfect Photography runs on evening and weekend hours, open only Thursday through Sunday from 7 to 9pm, which tells you this is a side business built around another day job rather than a full-time studio. That schedule quirk aside, the Yelp-verified service list is genuinely broad for a small operation: couples, engagements, family portraits, maternity, and newborn and baby photos all show up as confirmed offerings. The 35 photos posted to the business’s Yelp page lean heavily on maternity and family work, giving a decent preview of the soft, natural-light style before you’d ever need to reach out. There’s no public review history yet to lean on, so this is more of a “here’s a real, verified local option” pick than an established favorite, and Rock Springs’ options for baby photography thin out fast once the handful of established names are booked. For families whose due date or timeline doesn’t line up with a busier studio’s calendar, a newer local photographer with confirmed newborn experience and evening availability fills a real scheduling gap. 

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. 

Dee moved her studio from Southern California to Jackson Hole after fourteen years behind the camera, and that outside perspective still shows in how she frames a mountain-town newborn session. Where a lot of local photographers lean on the same handful of Teton backdrops, Dee treats a newborn sitting more like a small production, working through hospital-fresh portraits, at-home lifestyle sets, and later baby milestones as one continuous project rather than a single appointment. Her site groups newborn work alongside weddings, family portraits, and even wildlife and surf photography, which sounds like a scattered resume until you see the common thread: patience with unpredictable subjects, whether that’s a fussy infant or a breaking wave. Clients on WeddingWire have given her a perfect 5.0 average, and The Knot has featured her work in its magazine, both signs that her eye translates well beyond her own portfolio site. She keeps her calendar loose enough to fold in newborn requests on short notice, useful in a resort town where visiting grandparents often set the actual deadline for a session. For Jackson families who want someone equally comfortable posing a two-week-old at home and photographing the Tetons behind them, Dee’s range is the pitch. 

Kiarra Zampedri was born and raised in Rock Springs, and she’s been photographing professionally there since 2015 after picking up her first camera at age 14. That local, lifelong connection shows up in how comfortable her sessions feel; multiple reviews single out her patience with uncooperative kids and fussy newborns rather than just praising the finished images. One family specifically mentioned needing to reschedule a session because their child wasn’t cooperating and having Kiarra work around it without friction, and another described her working her magic on a newborn who wasn’t cooperating during the shoot itself. Her own life has moved through the same stages she photographs for clients, becoming a parent in 2019 and welcoming twins in 2025, which gives her newborn sessions a practical, lived-in understanding of what a tired new family actually needs from an appointment. Her newborn portfolio favors soft neutral tones, simple wooden props like a mini hammock, and close attention to a sleeping baby’s small details rather than an overly staged look. With client relationships that reviewers describe lasting for years and multiple sessions, she’s built the kind of repeat local following that’s hard to fake in a market the size of Rock Springs. For families who want a hometown photographer rather than someone commuting in for appointments, Kiarra Zampedri’s decade of local, professional newborn and family work is a strong match. 

Codilyn Photography describes its own focus in two words: outdoor and newborn photography, a pairing that shows up clearly in a portfolio built around natural settings rather than an indoor studio backdrop. Cody’s surrounding landscape, open fields, mountain light, and worn wooden fences, gives that outdoor approach plenty to work with even for family sessions built around a new baby. Session galleries show a relaxed, unposed feel, parents and young children settled into a natural setting rather than lined up in a formal row, which tends to read as more genuine once the prints come back. Because the business keeps a small, local footprint rather than running a high-volume studio, sessions have a personal, small-town quality that some Cody families specifically look for over a bigger commercial operation. For parents who want their newborn and family photos taken outdoors in Cody’s own scenery rather than in front of a rented backdrop, Codilyn Photography’s stated specialty lines up directly with that request.
