Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
Why we ranked them
Why we chose Kim Hildebrand Photography
Kim Hildebrand has been photographing families across North Idaho and the Inland Northwest since 2007, and her newborn sessions reflect nearly two decades of refining a single idea: babies and their parents relax faster at home than anywhere else. Rather than a studio with props and backdrops, Kim brings her camera into the family's own space for a 1-2 hour lifestyle session, working around feeding and sleep windows so nothing feels rushed. She photographs the details that get overlooked in a posed shoot — a nursery still being finished, an older sibling peeking into the bassinet, the specific way a newborn curls a fist. Multiple breaks are built into every appointment, and siblings and pets are welcomed rather than worked around. Clients repeatedly point to her patience with fussy babies and her eye for the quiet, unscripted moments that happen between the poses. Beyond newborn sessions, Kim offers 30-minute mini maternity sessions and a membership program called My Story for families who want ongoing coverage through a baby's first year. Her portfolio spans Coeur d'Alene, Hayden, Post Falls, and the greater Spokane area, and her reviews consistently mention how comfortable she makes new parents feel during an otherwise exhausting stretch of life. For a family that wants their real home and their real newborn on film, not a manufactured backdrop, Kim's approach has held up for a long time for a reason.
