Why we chose Raising Roots Photography

Raising Roots Photography, run by Gulfport photographer AK Broome, builds its newborn work around two closely timed offerings: a Fresh 48 session done in the hospital or birth center within the first two days of life, and a slower, in-home lifestyle newborn session in the weeks that follow. Both are documentary in style -- unposed, baby-led, and focused on real, unscripted connection rather than studio setups with wraps and props. A background in dance and choreography shows up in the way sessions are paced and framed, with attention to natural movement and quiet, in-between moments rather than stiff, formal portraits. Packages range from a single 45-minute hospital visit to a combined 'Homecoming' package that pairs a Fresh 48 session with a follow-up lifestyle newborn visit at home, giving Gulf Coast families a way to document the entire arc from birth to the first few weeks. Clients consistently note how relaxed and present she is during sessions, and her business maintains a 100% recommendation rate from reviewers. For Gulfport-area parents who want the hospital-to-home newborn story told in one continuous, documentary style rather than a single posed sitting, Raising Roots Photography is a well-reviewed local option.
