The Photographer
Kristen is such an incredibly talented photographer with such beautiful vision and gorgeous creativity. She's so meticulous with her poses, which shows through in every single photo. Her props are absolutely irresistible and make for the most amazing newborn photos. - Angela D.

Chester County newborn and baby photographer, Kristen Yeager, is a highly sought after photographer specializing in baby's first year (maternity, newborns, babies) and young children. Often referred to as the baby whisperer, Kristen has photographed over 100 newborns and countless babies and children. She has taken safety courses and multiple in-person workshops, and is a certified and qualified newborn photographer. Her love of children and making a difference led Kristen to begin her professional years as an elementary school teacher and photography was simply a hobby while she took time off to raise her children, now ages 6.5 and 4. However, the hobby quickly turned into a full-time career as she loved being able to capture these important memories and details for families that she so cherished herself. Kristen couldn't love this "job" more and feels like this is her true calling.

Newborns and babies are only little for a little while. There's nothing quite like their new smell, their tiny fingers and toes, and those adorable pouty lips and chubby cheeks. But, in the blink of an eye, between those sleepless nights and cuddle-filled, hazy days, babies grow up. And, as you tearfully pack away another pile of outgrown clothes, you’ll never regret having all the little details captured to help you remember how tiny and perfect they once were.
Kristen is honored to be able to capture these details and memories for you. She wants you to be able to open up a beautiful leather-bound album with thick pages, or run your finger across the bumps and border of a large framed print containing images of your once tiny baby and have all those memories come flooding back. No matter how grown your baby is, he’ll always be that precious little bundle of joy you held tightly in your arms.

I was impressed with Kristen’s professionalism, attention to detail, and above all her kind and caring manner from the start. She was timely and thoughtful in responding to our questions prior to booking, as well as when we were planning the details for our son’s newborn session. - Kelly A.
The Studio
The Little Blooms Photography studio is warm and cozy and located in Kristen’s beautiful Kennett Square, PA home. There is a designated studio space and client bathroom. The studio itself is filled with colorful headbands, hats, and textures galore. There are also many items available to make being away from home easier for a new mom – a changing table, wipes, a boppy, bottle warmer, and even a place for older kids to play.
LBP is known for its large collection of props. From a princess carriage, airplane, and moon to little beds, floral accents, and so many buckets and bowls, you can rest easy knowing there is nothing you need to bring to your session and that there are a variety of props to choose from to meet your vision. Of course, special items and heirlooms are always welcome and will be discussed at the personal consultation.
LBP also provides clothing for children from newborn-4 years old. There are neutral shirts, shorts, and rompers for little boys as well as beautiful dresses, tutus, and rompers for little girls. For moms, LBP offers several gowns for use during maternity and family portraits. You can rest easy knowing your studio session will be stress free when it comes to what to wear!
Sessions are scheduled during the weekdays from 9:30am-3pm. Gallery viewings, which are part of the LBP Experience, may be held on the weekends if requested. For more information on the LBP Experience, please visit this page.
Sick Policy- Because there are so many new babies and pregnant moms that come through the LBP doors, all illnesses will be cause for a reschedule. I cannot risk the health of any person, especially newborns. This includes family members. Even if they are not the subject of the portrait session, they are not permitted to enter the studio. Clients and family members must be symptom free and fever free before they can return for a session. I do disinfect the studio and wash all items newborns touch, but some viruses are airborne. Try to remember: if you would try to keep your own newborn away from whatever your child/you/your family member have, then you are too sick to come to the studio. Not only that, but sick kids do not cooperate for pictures. ;)

The Sessions
Little Blooms Photography offers a variety of session types and lengths to fit your needs. For more information on each type of session and to see images, please click on the links.
Maternity - Maternity sessions can be done as simple 30 minute sessions in the studio, or outdoors for up to 1.5 hours. LBP has a variety of dresses in various colors for client use.
Fresh48 - These sessions are done in the hospital or at home and capture baby and family within the first 48 hours of life. Editing is minimal as these express the real, raw, imperfect yet somehow perfect first days of life with a new baby.
Newborn - Posed newborn sessions take place in the LBP studio. There are 2 options to fit your needs. The first is the All Wrapped Up Session which will last up to 1.5 hours and baby stays wrapped and posed in a variety of props. Wrap style and color will vary throughout the session. The Classic Bloom Session is up to 3 hours and includes 3 props, several beanbag poses, and baby will not be wrapped the entire session, allowing LBP to capture all those tiny details - fingers, toes, and chubby rolls. Both sessions can include parents and siblings free of charge.
Baby Milestone - There are so many wonderful times to capture babies as they grow through their first year. Once they master tummy time, sit independently, and when they celebrate their first birthday are just some of my favorites! You can capture these milestones in either a Simple Studio Session, up to 30 minutes, or in a longer Customized Bloom Session, up to 1.5 hours. Simple Studio sessions include 1 simple set-up on either a light or dark backdrop that really features your child in a variety of poses such as on their back, on their tummy, and in a prop. A Customized Bloom session includes 1 completely customized set-up (fall, Valentine's Day, floral, vintage travel, Sesame Street, pink and gold, etc - the possibilities are endless!) and 1 simple-studio set-up. The customized set-up can be turned into a Cake Smash session for one year olds at no additional charge. LBP will take portraits of your child before they get messy, then "smashing" the cake, and in a fun bath to get clean afterward. Parents are responsible for providing the cake, but LBP is happy to give amazing baker recommendations.
Children - As my little clients grow up, I love to see them back in the studio to celebrate their birthdays each year either for a short, Simple Studio session or a longer, Customized Bloom session. Paint splashes, food smashes, and tea parties are popular choices. Children are also photographed during family and limited edition sessions.
Family - Family sessions are only available to past clients as LBP's speciality is baby's first year. However, there are various times throughout the year that LPB will hold limited edition sessions, which are open to families. The sunflower fields in August/September are one example.
