It’s with a heart full of gratitude that I share some bittersweet news — The Newborn Artist studio is officially closing its doors after 18 unforgettable years of capturing the tiniest of toes, the softest snuggles, and the most sacred beginnings.

This decision wasn’t made lightly. Over the past two decades, I’ve had the honor of photographing thousands of newborns and walking alongside so many incredible families in their first precious days. The memories we’ve created together, the tears we’ve shared (both happy and hormonal!), and the legacy of art we’ve built will always hold a special place in my heart.

While the studio chapter is closing, this is not goodbye to photography altogether — just a beautiful transition. I've shifted focus to branding photography through my new creative home at brandCREATED Studios, where I help entrepreneurs and business owners bring their visions to life with bold, timeless visuals and strategy.

To every family who trusted me with their most treasured moments — thank you. You helped build something truly special. I will forever be humbled by your trust and love.

If you’d like to stay in touch or work together in the next season, I’d love to connect over at www.brandCREATED.co.

Here’s to the legacy we’ve created — and the new stories waiting to be told.

With love and gratitude,

Julie Thomas Wagner

Founder, The Newborn Artist
