Let's freeze this moment in time.
You've spent 40 weeks growing this tiny human (that's 280 days, or 6720 hours, or 403,200 minutes, waiting to meet them!). And once you do, you realize that they're only this small and squishy for such a short time (I know, it's really NOT fair!).
So while I can't offer freezing them as a newborn forever, what I can offer is the preservation of what they looked like in those first few weeks and the memories of those tiny toes, squishy rolls, and how their little heads fit perfectly in the palm of your hand.
Then I turn those images into beautiful, unique heirloom pieces (which I've curated from professional print labs around the globe) so they don't end up lost on your hard-drive or in the shuffle of your Facebook memories, but rather as tangible, meaningful works of art that will give you all the feels, even as you watch them start their own lives decades later (and ask yourself how it all happened so fast!).
Simple or Creative?
During our consultation, we'll chat about your preferences, including color schemes, props, poses, and themes, so I can create custom setups that you're sure to fall in love with!
Baby's Portraits
Newborn sessions can include photos with the whole family.
I also love photographing your pets in these sessions-- and pets are welcome in the studio, but sometimes this option is better-suited for in-home newborn sessions.)
family & siblings
Does the idea of packing up baby and all her stuff and heading out just a few days after getting home from the hospital seem unheard of to you? Girl, I get it, which is exactly why I offer in-home newborn sessions. I'll be the one packing my stuff to "bring the studio to you", offering the full creative session, without even having to leave your house (additional fee of $200 to cover cost of travel & setup in your home).
in-home
If you're looking for a photographer that comes to your home, this is an ideal option for you. My studio is essentially portable, and most everything can be set up for at-home newborn photography with a studio-look!
Deposit/Session fee: $300 to book; applied to your Newborn Collection of choice.
Clients typically invest $1500+ in their personalized experience.
- a Lifestyle session (no props, posing; essentially a "family session" in your home)
- a Creative Session, which combines lifestyle photos & a "studio" look with props & posing (includes additional fee for travel & equipment setup in your home).
- a baby-only newborn mini session
- a full Creative Session with just baby
- a full Creative/Portrait session with baby & family
session options
Because these photographs capture a once-in-a-lifetime moment, every detail of your experience is thoughtfully planned to ensure your images feel timeless, natural, and uniquely yours.
What does “perfect” mean to you?
Perhaps it’s including the entire family, creating a relaxed session in the comfort of your own home, or simply knowing that every detail has been handled so you can fully enjoy the experience.
Your session begins with a personal consultation, where we’ll get to know each other and talk through your vision. During this meeting, we’ll review studio options, props, wraps, and styling details, as well as the additional services available to you—such as access to my Client Closet for moms and big sisters, or the option to include professional hair and makeup so you feel confident and camera-ready on session day.
Following our consultation, your session will be fully customized based on your preferences. All setups are carefully prepared in advance so that when you arrive, everything is ready and your time can be focused on creating beautiful, meaningful portraits. You’ll also receive a detailed preparation guide to help you feel informed, relaxed, and ready for your session.
The result is a seamless, stress-free experience—and photographs that preserve this fleeting season of life with intention and care.
Your experience
When you genuinely love what you do, you work harder at it and end up with amazing results. I whole-heartedly LOVE working with newborns—their sweet, fresh smell; their precious, tiny noises, and knowing I get to be the first professional photographer to capture portraits of them—so I’ve dedicated my career to learning and mastering the art of newborn photography.
I’ve been trained in posing & safety by one of the world’s best newborn photographers, Ana Brandt; and I’ve built my collection of props and fabrics from industry leaders who specialize in creating products just for your tiny human—from newborn-specific posing equipment, to bowls that are crafted in a size that perfectly fits a newborn baby, and blankets & wraps that are gentle on baby’s skin. So while your new-mom mind might constantly be racing about all the baby concerns, your photography experience shouldn’t be one of them, so know that you’re in good hands because I truly care about the safety and well-being of your baby and your family.

FAQ'S
> What age do you do newborn photos?
I want my new mamas to have all of the information they need when considering me as their newborn photographer. Here is a list of my most commonly asked questions.
With nearly 7 years of newborn photography experience, I've actually found a preference of somewhere between 1-2 weeks old, and have also gotten great results with babies up to a month old. Within that time frame, baby is usually eating a bit more, so can stay fuller (and sleep longer ;) ! ) during the session; they've also typically lost their umbilical cord stump by this point, which makes posing much more comfortable for them.
As you search for the perfect newborn photographer, there are a few things you should consider. First and foremost should be the photographer's experience and emphasis on baby safety. Your little one is delicate, and should only be put into poses that are safe, using special training methods to protect them.
Also consider the photographer's style and how it meshes with your own personal taste. Do you prefer a studio look with lots of props and intricate posing? Or do you prefer a more natural look, possibly doing your newborn photos at home? Do you prefer neutral tones, bright and airy edits, or vibrant color palettes? Look at a photographer's Instagram/website/portfolio and notice how their images make you FEEL. This is an investment (and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these photos), so you should feel confident even before your session that you will love your photos.
