“We worked with Kristin to capture family portraits with our new baby, and we really appreciated how seamless each step of the process was! She was highly communicative and positive, answering all of our questions before/during/after the shoot, putting us at ease when we were newbies at taking photos with an active baby. She had so many ideas and props in the studio that we could throw in the mix to give us lots of options! We love how her images captured the joy of our growing family!”

“We had the best experience shooting with Kristin for our maternity shoot! I’m so thankful I found her because she made me feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera, and the photos are amazing! Her studio is meticulous and I loved the option to pick from maternity dresses in her collection in addition to my own. Can’t wait to have our newborn shoot with her soon!”

“Kristin did a wonderful job with our granddaughters who can range from very cooperative to a handful. She got the most out of them within the time constraints, and the girls had a ball working with her. The results were amazing, and the hardest part was deciding which photos to leave behind. We are happy Kristin is local!”

“I highly recommend Kristin! She beautifully captured our son and helped me feel confident in front of the camera postpartum. I will cherish the photos she took forever and give her my highest recommendation.”

“We had such a great experience with Kristin! I was so nervous that our two-month-old baby wouldn’t cooperate for photos, but Kristin found a way to make it happen. Even when he was a bit fussy, she was so patient and was able to quickly calm him down (and me, too!). She also took all the pressure and stress off of us, helping us figure out what to wear and how to pose. She made sure to leave room for anything specific we wanted to do, but it was such a relief for us that she took the lead. If you are anything like me and are feeling anxious about getting photos taken (both of postpartum you and of your wiggly baby), I absolutely recommend Kristin!”

“We recently had some family pictures taken in honor of our baby's first birthday. We had a wonderful experience working with Kristin for our pictures! She made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole process and captured some AMAZING moments on camera. The most challenging part of the process was narrowing down the pictures we wanted because there were so many good ones. We're happy that we used Kristin to take our family pictures!”

“From start to finish, our experience with Kristin was nothing short of incredible. The entire process was so easy and seamless to navigate, and Kristin provided helpful tips ahead of time on how to prepare our newborn for the session, which made us feel confident and at ease before we even arrived.
The studio itself is absolutely beautiful—warm, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed for families. There was a lovely space to change both our clothes and our baby, a wide selection of snacks, and a cozy seating area that made us feel completely at home. Every detail was considered, and it truly shows.
And then came the photos—without question, the most beautiful images we have ever received. Kristin went above and beyond by creating a stunning video that captured the day so perfectly. I couldn’t hold back my tears seeing the final images; they so beautifully captured our family and are memories we will cherish for a lifetime.
Kristin was an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is not only incredibly talented and professional, but also exceptional with newborns. We knew we would receive beautiful photos, but what meant just as much was knowing our newborn was in the safest, most caring hands. Kristin maintains the studio at the perfect temperature for newborns, is meticulous about hygiene—washing her hands and providing hand sanitizer—and creates such a calm, reassuring environment.
Words truly cannot describe how happy I am with both the experience and the final result. Kristin exceeded every expectation, and we are so grateful for the memories she has given our family. Thank you, Kristin. Chloe, Dustin & Callum.”

“I cannot say enough good about my experience with Kristen and Yaz. They made sure that every photo was my dream come true, and my large and crazy family showed off their absolute best. Anytime I need a photographer, I know where I’m going to go! Highly highly recommend”

“Kristin made us feel so comfortable and we are absolutely over the moon with the outcome of the pictures! It was soooo hard to choose our favorites bc they all were so sweet and special! She has a very special touch with newborns (and postpartum moms :)) and really worked her magic to capture yawns, grins, best positions and angles! Thrilled with the precious memories we have forever!”

“We had a wonderful session with Kristin! She was efficient during the session which was helpful with a newborn baby, very easy to communicate with, and took the most Beautiful newborn photos for us! Highly recommend her for newborn photos!”

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Kristin for our child's cake smash session and family portraits. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and stress-free. Kristin demonstrated exceptional skill in capturing those precious, candid moments during the cake smash – somehow managing to photograph our little one's joy and messiness in the most beautiful way. The family portraits turned out stunning as well, with natural poses that truly reflect our family's personality.
What impressed us most was how effortlessly everything flowed. Kristin was patient with our kids, professional throughout the session, and made the whole experience enjoyable for everyone involved. The attention to detail and artistic eye really shows in the final images.
We couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend Kristin to any family looking to capture their maternity and newborn journey.”

“Kristin was great to work with. She is very detailed and guides you through the steps of her process. I was a bit late in scheduling but she kindly worked with me to ensure that we could still have a session. She also patiently answered my many questions about the process. The shoot itself was great; the studio was well prepared and cozy. Most important, we were delighted with how the photos turned out and will cherish them forever.”

“Highly Recommend! Kristin quickly reached out after completing the contact information and our consolation was very informative and comfortable. Kristin was highly flexible when setting up a photoshoot date based off estimate time of our baby's due date. I love Kristin's personality and was very easy and comfortable to talk to. The shoot itself was amazing, very professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating. During the photo selection, Kristin made the selection session very simple and easy to navigate. It was hard to not to choose all the photo's because everything came out wonderful! I was amazed and absolute satisfied with the whole process. I could not be happier with the outcome and simple love my baby's photos.”

“We had a phenomenal experience working with Kristin! From the fist time I contacted her she made herself available to consult on timing and wardrobe for our newborn session and provided thorough instructions on how to prepare for our session so that our newborn was sleepy and happy and ready to look her best! We opted for an in-studio session since as first time parents we didn’t want to worry about having our home photo ready, and her studio provided a perfect backdrop, Kristin expertly wrapped our daughter in a gauzy wrap selected from her collection, and she had beautiful little accessories to choose from to add the perfect finishing touch. All in all the hardest part of our experience was winnowing down all of the lovely images of our daughter and our new family into a number that we could fit in an album – and once again Kristin was right there guiding us through the photo selection process in a personalized zoom session where our gallery was revealed and all of the options were discussed until we were happy with our final selections. In short, Kristin is an exceptional photographer, especially for newborn sessions, and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. I cannot wait to continue the process as we finalize our album layout and add it and a print or two to our home gallery.”

“Kristin was great to work with for both my maternity and newborn photoshoots. She made us feel so comfortable and guided us through the whole process so we got amazing shots even though we are not expert models or anything. Her studio is so cozy and well equipped with lots of snacks which is a perfect distraction for young kids. I would definitely work with her again!”

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our newborn photography shoot! Kristin is a true professional and made the entire session so easy and enjoyable. We appreciated that she took the lead in posing us and the baby, which relieved us from the pressure of trying to figure it all out ourselves. The final pictures turned out amazing, capturing every precious moment beautifully. These are memories we will cherish for a lifetime. Highly recommend Kristin for anyone looking for top-notch newborn photography!”

“This was my first maternity photoshoot, so I was very nervous and unsure how to go about the overall process. I found out about Kristin’s photography studio through a friend and was soooo impressed! Kristin made the entire process so welcoming and effortless – I didn’t have to worry about anything because all questions were answered and moments leading up to the photoshoot felt very personalized to fit my needs and not all like a cold generalized business transaction. Kristin treats her clients with respect, kindness, professionalism, support, and most importantly judgment free zone. Being pregnant is very stressful and can be overwhelming, but working with Kristin helped me embrace my pregnancy and enjoy the journey.

P. S. The photos came out so beautiful I was shocked Kristin was able to capture such loving surreal images. I am already planning on booking another photoshoot with Kristin for newborn photos!”

“5/5 stars, and 10/10 recommend!!

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Kristin for both our maternity and newborn photo sessions, and we are beyond thrilled with both the results! From start to finish, Kristin made the entire experience fun, comfortable, and truly memorable.

For our maternity photos, Kristin beautifully captured the love and excitement we felt as we awaited our little one’s arrival. Kristin has a fantastic eye for detail, and she guided us through poses that felt natural and captured our personalities perfectly.

When it came time for our newborn session, Kristin was incredibly patient and gentle with our baby – she’s also a professional baby swaddler! She sent us helpful instructions to follow prior to shooting, and she created a calm environment, ensuring our little one stayed relaxed throughout the session. The photos turned out absolutely perfect! The way she captured these precious early moments is something we’ll treasure forever.

Not only is Kristin a talented artist, she is also a warm and kind person. She made both our sessions and the reveal/ordering process enjoyable and stress-free. We highly recommend Kristin, and we can’t wait to continue working with her to capture our special milestones.

Thank you, Kristin!!!”

Kristin jumped right in and guided us to what we needed to get the perfect photos. We will return to have more sessions with Kristin in the future!”

“When my original photographer cancelled a week before my shoot, Kristin came to the rescue! I found her page in some quick Google searches and when I reached out to see if she was available on such short notice, she took my call when she was on vacation which was so kind. It ended up being such a blessing in disguise to work with Kristin than my original photographer, she made the experience so pleasant and comfortable and she is extremely professional. Not to mention our photos turned out gorgeous! I don’t feel photogenic ever and she somehow made me look and feel so great!”

“As a single mom by choice and first time mom I knew that I wanted to do something special to document this new and amazing journey. I could not have chosen better than Kristin to do my Maternity photo shoot and my daughter's newborn photo shoot. She made me feel so comfortable during my shoot. When it came time for my daughter's shoot she was able to keep so calm she slept the entire time. She was also able to incorporate a little bit of a mermaid theme which I really wanted. To top it all off the images turned out amazing. She was so helpful in helping me choose my images. So was so fun to work with. I'm so happy I decided to do these photos and that I chose Kristin Milito Photography to do them. Highly Recommend!!!!!”

Communication was excellent throughout. We received all relevant information and helpful tips prior to our photo shoot for our newborn son.

As the photos were being taken, Kristin was amazing with our son. She made us feel so comfortable in her studio. We also appreciated that she had all the items we needed for the day.

The reveal session was intimate and the pictures did not disappoint. We were blown away with how fantastic each one was. Kristin was so helpful in helping narrow down our choices for our package. She then put together a beautiful album that we proudly have displayed in our home.

We would definitely recommend Kristin to anyone looking to capture the magic of newborn photography.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Kristin twice within the last few months. She did my maternity shoot and once I saw the quality of the images, I knew I wanted her to do our newborn photoshoot! She made the experience so pleasant. She’s extremely professional but still very personable and sweet. I’m not one for a lot of attention but she made me feel totally comfortable and I felt like a queen during my maternity shoot! And once I saw those pictures I was even more pleased! Newborn shoot was so fun as well. My husband and I were so impressed at how gentle she was with our baby boy and how much attention to detail she paid to get the most adorable pictures. Told her that day that we wanted her to do our next babies pics too lol. A little ahead of ourselves but the whole experience from those 2 shoots just went so well. If you’re contemplating taking maternity or newborn pictures, do it! Special moments that you want to capture in time and Kristin is the girl to help you with that :)”
