If you're expecting a baby in the Carthage area and searching for a newborn photographer who truly specializes in the art of newborn portraiture, I'd love to introduce myself. I'm Kelly, the photographer behind New Joy Photography — a boutique newborn photography studio located in Gilmer, TX, just just 45 minutes from Carthage.

Families from Carthage, Panola County, and the surrounding East Texas communities make the short drive to Gilmer for a reason: truly specialized newborn photography from a photographer who has dedicated her entire career to this one precious season of life.

Why Families from Carthage Choose New Joy Photography

There are photographers closer to Carthage, so why do families choose to make the drive to Gilmer? Here’s what sets New Joy Photography apart:

Specialized expertise. I am a Kelly Brown–certified newborn photographer, trained directly under one of the world’s most respected names in newborn photography. Newborn photography is all I do — which means every technique, every pose, and every safety protocol is designed specifically for the tiniest, most delicate subjects.

Award-winning artistry. I’ve earned the WPPI ICON Award, the highest recognition given at the world’s largest photography convention, along with two WPPI Silver Awards. These accolades reflect a standard of excellence I bring to every single session.

A calm, unhurried experience. My studio sessions are thoughtfully paced — typically 3–4 hours — so your newborn is never rushed. We work around their schedule, not a timer.

What to Expect at Your Newborn Session

Before your session, we’ll connect to talk through your vision, discuss any color preferences, and answer all your questions. I take care of all the posing, wrapping, and prop selection so you can simply relax and be present.

On session day, my studio in Gilmer is warm, peaceful, and stocked with everything we need. I keep the room at a cozy temperature for your baby and work gently and slowly throughout the session.

After your session, you’ll receive a private online gallery of beautifully edited images. From there, you can choose prints, wall art, or albums — all available directly through the studio.

Serving Carthage and East Texas

New Joy Photography serves families across East Texas, including Carthage, Longview, Marshall, Center, and Panola County, and communities throughout the region. The studio is conveniently located in Gilmer, TX — an easy drive that’s absolutely worth it for heirloom-quality newborn portraits.
