Springfield, MO Newborn & Fresh 48 Photographer

 

I'm a newborn and family photographer based in Springfield, Missouri, serving Southwest Missouri and the surrounding 417 area. Since 2022, I've been capturing maternity, newborn, Fresh 48, milestone, and family memories — because every moment matters, and the little details you cherish today will be gone before you're ready.


As an APNPI newborn safety-certified photographer, I'm passionate about creating a gentle, relaxed experience for your family.

Your baby's first days are filled with little details you'll want to remember forever. My newborn sessions are relaxed and baby-led, with plenty of time for feeding, soothing, cuddles, and breaks whenever your little one needs them.


As an APNPI newborn safety-certified photographer, I prioritize your baby's comfort and well-being while capturing tiny details, sweet snuggles, and the connections that make your family unique.


Whether you're welcoming your first baby or adding another little love to your family, I'll help you preserve this special beginning.

Hi, welcome to my world

I’m Kaitlyn

 

I'm a wife, mom, and the photographer behind Fairchild Photo Co. As a mama myself, I know how quickly the little details change the tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, wobbly first steps, and the way your children fit perfectly in your arms.


That's why I'm passionate about creating photographs that bring you right back to these seasons of life.

My approach is patient, relaxed, and centered around your family. You won't have to worry about having perfectly behaved children or a baby who settles immediately. We'll take our time, follow your little one's cues, and make space for the real moments in between.


Whether I'm documenting your newborn's first days, celebrating a milestone, or capturing your family together, my goal is to create heartfelt images that feel like you.


These are the moments you'll want to remember long after this season has passed.

Testimonials

Peaceful newborn baby swaddled in teal wrap sleeping on white fur, holding a small teddy bear.

I had an amazing experience with Kaitlyn as our newborn photographer! From the moment we arrived at her studio in Springfield, MO, I felt at ease. Kaitlyn's approach to handling my newborn was incredibly gentle and professional. She made sure to prioritize his safety throughout the entire session. The client closet was another fantastic feature, and the photos turned out stunning. I'll treasure them for a lifetime.

We chose to have our session in her Springfield, MO studio, and she created the perfect environment for a beautiful, relaxed, and enjoyable experience. Kaitlyn has truly mastered the art of newborn photography, and her ability to safely pose, soothe, and comfort babies is remarkable.

We had a great experience! We had newborn, sibling, and family photos taken. She had a client closet to choose from, and my wife was very happy with the dress she wore and the outfits for our son and newborn. Very military friendly and absolutely worth the drive from Fort Leonard Wood.
