It was such an amazing experience working with Kerry! I originally found her online and noticed a friend had used her as well, so I called to learn more. Kerry was so kind, patient, and thorough in walking me through the process. We texted to finalize all the details, and she made planning the newborn session completely seamless. On the day of the shoot, Kerry was already at the studio having prepared several cute sets based on the color schemes and ideas we had shared. She handled our baby with so much gentle care, expertly wrapping her up for each shot. Kerry was incredibly patient and knew exactly how to soothe her between outfit changes--pivoting when our baby decided she was not a fan of wearing hats! Beyond Kerry's professionalism, her studio is stocked with tons of adorable props and setups that can match any aesthetic. We had a wonderful experience from start to finish and will definitely be working with Kerry again in the future! read more

My husband and I could not be happier with how everything went. Kerry is completely professional and has a magic touch--she worked so incredibly well with our babies. She keeps her studio nice and warm, showing such careful consideration for keeping newborns comfortable. She also goes above and beyond for parents, providing snacks and drinks for the adults and a baby changing station fully equipped with all the necessities!

Kerry's studio is beautiful and fully stocked with every backdrop and cute outfit you could ever imagine, making the whole process seamless and fun.

This was our first time ever taking our kids to get professional photos done, and I'm so glad we had the opportunity to get them done with Kerry. We took our newborn baby Gustavo along with our two little girls, and the experience was amazing from start to finish. Kerry is so warm, patient, and genuinely sweet with children. I was a little nervous about how the session would go with a newborn and two young girls, but she made everyone feel comfortable right away. She was incredibly gentle with our baby and so kind and patient with my daughters, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. Her studio is absolutely beautiful and so welcoming. She has so many gorgeous props, wraps, and setups to choose from, and you can tell she has years of experience and truly loves what she does. Everything felt very natural and effortless. And the photos turned out absolutely stunning. She captured such sweet and genuine moments of my baby and daughters that I will treasure forever. Looking through the pictures honestly made me emotional because they came out so beautiful. I highly recommend Kerry Goddard Photography to anyone looking for newborn or children's photography. We are beyond happy with our experience and so grateful for these beautiful memories. read more

I booked Kerry fairly last minute and she was able to squeeze me in quick quickly! a couple of points that really made a difference. TLDR - you won't regret booking Kerry for your newborn shoot. esp if you have a toddler! communication prior: she was able to identify the look and feel we wanted quite quickly prior to the session so we could focus on the session during the shoot. handling newborn and toddler: our toddler does not speak English but Kerry was able to calm our toddler which I was initially concerned about. we did a mini shoot with someone else and it did not go well at all. she was able to get him to smile and had snacks on hand for us to bribe him with. the toddler also had a play area to entertain himself while he was not being photographed. he didn't even want to leave at the end! clothes available: she has outfits available so we literally didn't need to think about it which is great when you have a newborn and no time read more

We just had a newborn baby and we worked with Kerry for our family/ newborn photography. It was an extremely smooth process. I had contacted her a few months prior to having our baby. Found her through another photographer. Her website was informative and the information was clear. I appreciated that because i hate having to dig around or be surprised by prices. I feel that she charges a reasonable price. Her studio was super cute! Very clean! Had a space for the kids to play snacks the whole bit. She was pretty fast and worked on your pace. I would definitely book again if we have another baby! Loved how the pictures turned out! read more

I'm so happy we went with Kerry to capture precious memories of our little family! When you're in the newborn trenches, the last thing you want to worry about is all of the stress of a photo shoot and Kerry made everything so easy. She has an amazing studio setup with all of the baby props, background, outfits etc and even has outfits for mom/dad/siblings if needed, as well as snacks/toys to keep the kids occupied. Kerry was so calm and professional and wonderful working with both the newborn and my toddler. When my toddler was being particularly stubborn, she was able to convince her to take pics and captured perfect sibling and family pics. I'm so grateful to have beautiful photographs of my family I'll treasure for a lifetime! read more

We had a really great experience with Kerry for our newborn photos. It was our first time doing a professional family session, and she made it feel super easy. She was responsive and organized from the start, and her prep guide was actually really helpful. During the shoot, she took care of everything and guided us the whole way, which helped us feel a lot more comfortable. Our newborn was super comfortable the whole time too. The studio was warm and cozy, and you could tell she really knew how to handle and soothe babies. Also appreciated the snacks and drinks, such a thoughtful touch, especially with a newborn. And the final photos turned out beautiful. We're so happy with how everything came out and will definitely treasure them. Overall, really glad we did this and would definitely recommend her. read more

As a 3 month postpartum, first time mama, I knew it would be important to capture photos of my baby girl. I was always told time flies by too quickly when you have children. It's true. Still adjusting to being a mom, and my baby girls eating and sleeping schedule, working with someone flexible was important. Kerry was everything we wanted in a photographer. She made my baby girl smile and laugh so much!! My husband and I tried to do what she did in the photo shoot, but we didn't have the special sauce. Kerry really impressed us with how good she was with our baby. I saw the photos today and I was blown away. My baby looked so adorable, and she captured the love of our growing family. These will be photos we will treasure for the rest of our life. Thank you Kerry! read more

We're from out of town but decided to go with Kerry for the maternity photoshoot bc we were so impressed by her portfolio. The pictures came out amazing and well worth the 2 hours drive! Kerry was great at making us feel comfortable during the shoot and showing us how to pose. I also wanted a stress free experience so it worked out that she had a lot of gowns and outfits to choose from so I didn't have to worry about that. Kerry also helped me book hair/makeup with the makeup artist, Chau, who also did an amazing job giving me a natural glow. Would highly recommend! read more

We went to Kerry's studio for our newborn Mary's photoshoot. Kerry and her assistant were very warm, calm and professional, and were able to work with the baby very well. They were also very accommodating towards the family members that came to the photoshoot with us. We have not yet received the final photos, but we have seen the gallery draft, and those photos themselves are gorgeous. Communication before, during, and after the photoshoot was excellent, and Kerry was able to answer any questions we had. Highly recommend! read more

It's been over a year since Kerry photographed our newborn, and we still look at those pictures in awe--truly every single day. I went down a rabbit hole researching dozens of photographers, but the moment we found Kerry, we knew we'd found the one. She delivered exactly the style we had dreamed of, plus so many extra shots that completely stole our hearts. The only "problem" was trying to choose favorites when every single image was stunning. We also had some unexpected personal health challenges that made it tricky to lock down a date, and Kerry could not have been more understanding or flexible. She worked with us without a hint of stress, and her calm, kind approach made the whole process a joy. If you're searching for someone who can capture the magic of those fleeting newborn moments, we cannot recommend Kerry enough. read more

I have worked with Kerry twice now. I've had such great experiences with her during both newborn photo shoots I've done with her. She is so gentle and patient which was extremely comforting for me. I love the pictures she's been able to capture of both my kids. It's hard to find photographers that are good at what they do. I'm really glad I came across Kerry and have these memories I get to treasure forever. read more

My wife and I could not be happier that we went to Kerry to take our newborn photos. To start she was super accommodating getting us in before our baby left the newborn stage. The photo shoot could not have gone any better. Our baby is very dependent on his pacifier but Kerry was able to soothe him and get great photos without his pacifier. The most difficult part of this process was selecting which photos we wanted to keep since they all came out great. read more

We were referred to Kerry by a friend and have since worked with her multiple times to capture special moments in our lives. She is an exceptional photographer, especially when it comes to working with newborns. Her patience and gentle approach really stood out to us.

I highly recommend her for maternity and newborn photography! read more

Kerry is amazing! I'm so glad we stumbled upon her Instagram (check out her work there!) and decided to contract her for newborn photos! From our initial conversations, we felt at ease that we selected someone who would be able to take care of us and our newborn. Due to unforeseen circumstances, our appointment had to be rescheduled, but we are happy to do so. Health is our number one priority and she was open about the health of her and her staff to ensure it baby's safety. On the day of our shoot, Kerry was so empathetic and kind. The studio was warm and equipped to make our baby comfortable throughout the entire process - complete with white noise machine and a diaper changing station. We were offered refreshments + some much needed coffee as we watched her gently put our baby in the cutest poses. Our little one never cried during our photo session and it made our experience so relaxing. Within 4 days after the shoot, we received a gallery of our photos to select our desired images and were blown away by her incredible work! We're lucky that Kerry was able to capture some of our baby's fleeting smirks / smiles. There were so many great photos that we decided to upgrade our package. If you're wondering whether it's worth the trouble of taking newborn photos (especially so soon after delivery) - do it and we highly recommend going with Kerry! read more

Kerry and her assistant had multiple setups ready with super cute props. Kerry knew how to position our baby and soothe her when she started to wake up.
