With a reputation as the premier newborn photographer in the area, earned through a dedication to excellence and a passion for creating timeless memories, we are honored to serve the families and their newborns of Baytown and beyond.
To ensure you secure your preferred session slot, we recommend booking your newborn session during the second trimester. With only four sessions available each month, early booking is essential. Securing your spot is a simple process - just submit a signed contract and a non-refundable $100 retainer fee, selecting either your due date or induction/c-section date.
Newborns are known for their peaceful and cooperative nature, particularly between 5 and 18 days of age, making this period optimal for capturing those precious poses. Sessions are conveniently scheduled on weekend mornings in the studio, providing flexibility for families to accommodate their busy schedules.
Upon booking, clients gain access to our comprehensive newborn session guide and a survey to specify their color and prop preferences. We provide all necessary props, swaddles, bonnets, and backdrops, ensuring a stress-free experience for both parents and babies alike.
Parents are encouraged to bring along extra milk and diapers for their baby, along with a cooler for milk storage if needed. Our studio's proximity to a nearby Kroger's ensures convenient access to any additional supplies required.
Safety is our paramount concern, with Amanda's background as a registered nurse ensuring proper handling and room temperature maintenance throughout the session. Our studio undergoes meticulous sanitation, with all touched surfaces cleaned to maintain a hygienic environment.
After the session, clients receive a soft proof gallery containing edited images, from which they can select their favorites according to their chosen package. Additional photos can be purchased if desired, with Texas sales tax applied to all orders.

Hey there! If you find yourself in Katy, TX, I'd be absolutely thrilled to welcome you to my cozy studio! It's just a quick 25-minute jaunt away, nestled amidst beautiful parks and neighborhoods—truly the perfect setting for raising your little ones!
Now, if you're expecting and thinking about booking a newborn session, I'd suggest snagging your spot sometime during your second trimester to ensure we can lock in a time that works perfectly for you. I tend to keep things cozy with just four sessions available each month, so early booking is definitely the way to go! All it takes is a signed contract and a non-refundable $100 retainer to secure your spot. You can choose to book based on your due date or even your induction/c-section date, and trust me, those first few weeks are when babies are at their sleepiest and most pose-ready—typically between 5 and 18 days old.
Once you're all booked in, you'll gain access to my handy-dandy newborn session guide and a quick survey where you can let me know all your color and prop preferences. And don't fret about bringing a thing—my studio's stocked with all the adorable props, swaddles, luxury bonnets, and backdrops you could dream of. Just remember to pack some extra milk and diapers for your little one, and if you need to store any milk, a cooler's always a handy addition. Plus, we're just a hop, skip, and a jump away from Kroger's for any last-minute essentials!
Now, as for how long you can expect to hang out with us, it usually ranges from 1 to 3 hours depending on your package choice. And hey, rest assured, my background as a registered nurse means I've got the safety game down pat. Your baby's well-being is my top priority, always! We'll make sure to keep them comfy and cozy throughout, with plenty of safe posing and a room set at just the right temperature.
Before you head on over, it's a good idea to give your little one a nice feed—ideally, making it the last thing on your to-do list before arriving. Once you're here, we'll get your baby all snug as a bug in just their diaper, and we've even got a clean changing pad ready to roll. And hey, if they need a little extra fuel during our session, we've got you covered there too!
Hey there, lovely to meet you! I'm Amanda, your friendly neighborhood newborn photographer, and I couldn't be more excited to chat with you! I'm all about adding a sprinkle of magic to those early days with your little one. Seriously, isn't babyhood just the most amazing stage? It's like every moment is packed with wonder and sweetness.
My journey with babies started way back when I was caring for these tiny miracles in the NICU and foster care as a nurse. And let me tell you, that love has only grown stronger over the years. Now, I get to freeze those fleeting moments in time behind the lens as a newborn photographer, and it's been nearly five incredible years! With a solid decade of nursing experience behind me, safety is my absolute top priority during every single photo session. But more than just capturing beautiful images, I'm all about creating timeless memories that you and your family can treasure forever. After all, these moments are just too precious to let slip away!
My studio is always sanitized, and I wear a brand-new K-95 mask for every session. I'm up to date on all vaccines, including Covid-19, Tdap, and Measles. Everything touched during a newborn session, including textiles, backdrops, props, swaddles, floors, couches, and chairs, is sanitized. Your safety and comfort are my top priority! Read more here.
Once the session is over, you'll receive a soft proof gallery, where you can make your choices according to the package you've chosen. If you want to purchase more, you're always welcome to do so!
How do Soft Proof Galleries work? I pick all the images (that are in focus) and workable to edit from. I forward you the gallery and you pick your favorites (according to what your package allows for) for me to edit. If your package includes 12 photos, then please choose 12. If you would like more, just let me know, and I will gladly send over an invoice for the additional photos. Let's create some gorgeous memories together!
Texas sales tax is required for all orders made. Amanda Mandola Photography is proud to serve Katy, Texas.
