Why we ranked them

Why we chose CDA Birth Photographer, LLC

Susan, who operates CDA Birth Photographer, works from a different starting point than most newborn photographers in the area: she specializes in fresh 48 sessions, meaning she photographs babies within their first day or two of life, often still in the hospital room. That timing means families get images of the raw, unpolished first hours — hospital bracelets, the first outfit, grandparents meeting the baby for the first time — rather than a styled session scheduled weeks later once everyone's had time to recover. For families who want that but can't manage a hospital visit, she also offers lifestyle newborn sessions in the home during the first couple of weeks. Her client base includes families connected to Coeur d'Alene Fire, the Kootenai County Sheriff's office, the U.S. Air Force, and the local school district, along with referrals from area doulas and midwives, which points to an established relationship with the regional birth community. She travels to hospitals throughout the area for a flat travel fee, covering Sandpoint, Plummer, Moscow, and Pullman in addition to Coeur d'Alene. Her documentary approach to birth and newborn photography emphasizes real, unscripted moments as they happen rather than directing them. For families who specifically want fresh 48 coverage rather than a later studio-style newborn shoot, she's one of the few dedicated options in the region.
