Why we chose CK Photography

Courtney Kayser runs CK Photography with a lifestyle-first philosophy that shows up clearly in her published newborn session details. Rather than a studio setup with posed props and backdrops, her newborn sessions happen in the client's own home, described on her site as relaxed and unposed, built around ordinary moments like a parent holding the baby close, a sleepy stretch, or an older sibling peeking in with curiosity. That in-home approach means less prep pressure for exhausted new parents in the first weeks. Her published pricing is fully transparent: a two-hour newborn session runs $475 with 20 professionally edited images delivered through an online downloadable gallery with print rights, plus the option to purchase extra images individually. She also builds in a practical incentive for planning ahead, offering $50 off a newborn session to any client who books a maternity session with her first, which rewards families who commit to the same photographer across both stages. A wife and homeschooling mother of four herself, she describes her working style as relationship-driven, expecting to become genuinely close with the families she photographs rather than treating each session as a one-off transaction.
