Why we chose AM Photography by Valerie

AM Photography by Valerie is based in Sumrall, just outside Hattiesburg, and focuses specifically on the earliest stages of a baby's life -- maternity, newborn, first-year milestones, and first-birthday smash sessions -- rather than spreading across weddings or unrelated portrait categories. That narrow focus shows in how deliberately the studio is set up for infants: sessions are structured around milestone tracking, so a family can book a maternity session, a newborn session, and then a series of first-year check-ins as a connected package rather than one-off appointments with different photographers. Studio sessions are the primary format, giving Valerie full control over lighting, props, and temperature for newborns who need a warm, quiet environment to settle. Cake and food smash sessions round out the offering for families who want a documented first birthday alongside the earlier newborn work. For Hattiesburg-area parents who want one photographer to follow a baby's entire first year rather than booking separately for each milestone, AM Photography by Valerie offers a studio built specifically around that continuity.
