Meet Susy – Kansas City Newborn Favorite Newborn Photographer
Welcome, friend! I’m so excited you’re here, and even more excited (and let’s be honest, a little awkward) to be writing a blog post all about… me! So let’s get into it — who I am, why I do what I do, and what makes me love this beautiful work so very much. Why my clients think I’m Kansas City Favorite Newborn Photographer? Let’s find out.
Why I love the babies
I started photographing the babies since about 2013 after my daughter. It has only been the last couple years I have watched my newborn photography business flourish. A client earlier this week mentioned to me how I am her and her friends Favorite Newborn Photographer! Making goals and reaching them is something I live for. Now let’s talk about why I love the babies the most? Well…

A Little About Me
My name is Susy, a proud Kansas City newborn photographer, with a heart full of love for babies, families, and storytelling through images. Kansas City born and raised, and today. It’s also an honor to raise my own little crew here: a very sweet husband, our two beautiful children, and our two cuddly kitties who think they run the place (they kind of do).
Photography has been part of my story long before I ever held a camera. After my father passed away, I found myself stepping in front of the lens as a model for a local agency in Kansas City, Kansas. It was a way for me to regain confidence and reconnect with something that felt like home. My dad loved photography—truly obsessed with his camera. Looking back, I know now that the seeds of my passion were planted by him. That’s where it all started. Isn’t that kind of special?
How I Fell in Love with Newborn Photography
I officially started photographing babies in 2013, just after my daughter was born. Becoming a mom unlocked something powerful in me—a deep love for preserving those fleeting, beautiful moments. Over the years, that love has grown into a full-blown business, and in the past few years, I’ve seen it truly flourish.
Setting big goals and watching them come to life has been one of the most rewarding parts of this journey. But at the heart of it all? It’s always been about the babies.
The teeny toes. The ten perfect little fingers. The chubby baby rolls. The tender snuggles with mom and dad. The way siblings gaze at their new baby brother or sister. It never gets old. Every detail tells a story, and I feel incredibly lucky to capture it all.
My Style: Lifestyle Newborn Photography With Heart
My approach is cozy, natural, and all about connection. This is why I love offering lifestyle newborn photography because it allows families to relax and just be—snuggled up at home or in a comfy, beautiful studio space. I want your session to feel like a warm memory, not a stiff photo shoot.
Whether we’re photographing your baby’s first days in the nursery you poured your heart into, or creating magic in the studio with soft light and sleepy snuggles, my goal is always the same: to capture real love, real life, and all the little details in between.
So, Why Me?
If you’re in the Kansas City area and searching for the best newborn photographer, I hope you’ll reach out. It’s not just about the photos—I create experiences. Hiring me will ensure that I treat every session with the same love, I would want for my own family.
Let’s start capture your story, and create something truly meaningful together.
