MEET newborn photographer in mckinney, catie
I celebrate every woman's beauty whether that's during a maternity session, boudoir session, or family portraits. I have a deep desire to support new moms because I vividly remember how overwhelming it was during those first few months.
My goal is to make your life easier. I provide a full-service experience to pamper you the entire way, and ensure that the images we create will bring joy to your home.
I have a passion for making women feel beautiful, even when it seems like there's an alien growing inside you or there's spit-up on your sweatpants.
I like to say I photograph booties and babies, but it's really so much more than that...
HEY, I'M catie!
LET'S COnNECT:
The Portrait Experience begins right here – with communication and connection! It's important that I connect with you to ensure we're a great fit to work together, chat about the vision for your Portrait Experience, and more!
step 01: connect and chat
After your session is confirmed, your Portrait Experience officially begins! You will be invited to the exclusive online Portrait Lounge, where you will find resources – from outfit inspiration to session tips – so you can make the most of your Experience!
step 02: plan and prepare
Your session will be centered all around you and your loved ones. With all of the planning and preparing we will do before your session, you will start your session with confidence and end it with fun!
step 03: your Session
Once I have collected your finished photos, we will get together for your Design & Ordering appointment. I'll show you the images we created and we will decide how you'd like to enjoy these for years to come!
step 04: photo delivery
Photos weren't meant to be stored on your device. They should be admired in your home and bring warmth into your life. I offer prints and albums so you can cherish your favorite moments and memories forever.
step 05: order and cherish

Thank you again! I just started looking at the pictures and they look amazing! I'm trying to narrow down my favorites and there are so many amazing ones! I'm really impressed you were able to capture so many good shots of all 5 of us!
"I'm trying to narrow down my favorites and there are so many!!!"
– The Morris Family
Our experience at Darling Poppy Studios was nothing short of a dream. Being a new mom is hard enough and the thought of having to prep my newborn for photos was terrifying. Catie made the experience so enjoyable and smooth. We felt super comfortable bringing our newborn into the studio and can't wait to return in the future!
"nothing short of a dream"
