Why I Created This Course.

When I first started in photography, I was terrified of photographing newborns. They’re unpredictable. They cry. They pee. They do all the things babies do. I was honestly afraid of it all.

Then I realized something that changed everything.

I didn’t have to hold the baby to photograph them beautifully!

I started working in clients’ homes, simply photographing babies in their parents’ arms. No pressure. No complicated posing. As I grew more comfortable, I eventually began holding and gently swaddling newborns, but that came later. Not in the beginning.

Over the years, I developed a system that is simple, repeatable, and completely different from traditional posed newborn photography. No complicated wrapping techniques. Just natural, baby-led moments captured with an artistic eye that parents absolutely adore.

I created this course because I believe you can succeed in newborn photography without the stress.

You don’t need a studio, fancy lighting, or complicated posing.
You need a calm, baby-led approach that works in real homes.

I’ve built a thriving lifestyle newborn photography business using a simple in-home system, and inside this course, I teach you that exact process.

Hi, I'm Kat!

I used to be exactly where you are.

Overwhelmed by the idea of working with newborns and feeling stuck while trying to build a successful newborn photography business.

I spent years - and a lot of time and money - doing all the things. Photographing friends’ babies for free. Taking swaddling courses. Trying to follow every rule I thought a “real” newborn photographer had to follow.

Then I realized something important: not all parents want traditional newborn photos with their baby tightly swaddled and placed in a basket.

My turning point came when a client asked if I could simply photograph them holding their baby in their arms, surrounded by their family. No elaborate setup. No complicated posing.

I remember thinking, “And I don’t have to swaddle? Perfect.”

Then another family asked for the same thing. And then another. And another.

Over the past 18 years, I’ve refined a calm, natural approach to lifestyle newborn photography - and I’ve poured everything I’ve learned into the Lifestyle Newborn Photography Mastery Course. It’s the course I wish had existed when I was building my business, and I can’t wait for it to support you in building yours.

"10000/10 would recommend!! Kat did our newborn photos and we had the most amazing experience. She came to our house and was so prepared with props and maintaining cleanliness around our newborn. My husband and I aren’t great at taking pictures but with Kat we felt SO comfortable. The quality is unmatched. I am so glad we did this shoot and these are photos that we will be able to look back on forever. Thank you Kat!" - Kyra S.

"Kat did an amazing job and we are so happy with how our newborn / family photos turned out! The photos look very natural, captured candid moments and didn’t have any of those awkward, forced poses you sometimes get with family photos. Kat kept our 3 year old daughter engaged and having fun which made the whole session way less stressful for us. Highly recommend BK Rose Studio’s services!" - Eric W.

"We used Kat to do family/newborn photos when we had our 2nd child. Kat is truly a child/baby whisperer and was able to soothe my 3 week old to get her to cooperate for pictures and got my shy toddler to smile for photos! I would highly recommend using BK Rose Studio for photos and know we will be reaching out again when we need more family photos taken!" - Taraneh T.
