"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!"

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.

Your maternity session will be one of the most pampered and powerful moments of your life. It is also your chance to write the first chapter in your baby’s story. Take the time to capture the very beginning of your child's life.

We take expert care in making sure your newborn is safe during the session and we have experience in a baby's physiology, reflexes, and limitations. We have a cozy changing station and everything else you’ll need to nurse and care for your baby comfortably. And for our mamas, we can schedule in-studio hair and makeup while we capture your little one, so you look and feel your best for your new family portraits.
