this much we know

There is not a moment in one's life that deserves to be remembered more than the birth of your child. Newborns grow so quickly, that you will want to capture their delicate features before it is too late.

"During my pregnancy I searched and searched for a photographer that I thought was worthy of doing my maternity photos and a newborn session when my baby girl arrived! I came across Misty Dawn Photography and after seeing how committed she is to her work I chose her and I was not disappointed! Misty made my maternity shoot a breeze and it was one of the only days I felt beautiful during my pregnancy, and I am thankful for that alone because it’s hard to feel pretty when your body is constantly changing! After informing Misty that my daughter was here she immediately had time slots where I could come in at my earliest convenience to have the newborn shoot done! Misty takes the necessary time to make sure the baby is calmed and taken care of, and that takes a lot of patience! I commend her for the job she does and the art she creates, which brings joy to many families! So if you haven’t figured it out by now, I highly recommend Misty Dawn Photography for your photography needs! Nobody else in the Birmingham area will do, I promise you will love her and absolutely love her work!"

Maternity Sessions
990

Every newborn session is baby-led, with plenty of time for soothing, feeding, and breaks so you never feel rushed. Some babies finish quickly, some take longer — either way, you’ll have a beautiful gallery of images to choose from. Each session includes a beautifully guided photo experience and a product credit to apply toward your choice of heirloom artwork and digital image collections. You’ll only purchase what you love after seeing your images at your personalized ordering appointment. 

What to Expect

I accept a limited number of custom portrait sessions each month to ensure every client receives the time, care, and attention they deserve.If you’re expecting or planning ahead, it’s best to reserve your session early — availability fills quickly, especially for newborns..

At Misty Dawn Photography, we believe portraits should be more than digital files on a hard drive. Each session is an opportunity to create artwork that celebrates your family and lasts for generations. We guide you every step of the way—from styling and posing to final selections and product design—so that what you take home is timeless, personal, and worth treasuring.

Why It's Worth It
