Newborn Baby Photography Session
Let’s keep it real: Life with a brand-new baby is a beautiful, blurry, exhausted mess.
You probably haven’t slept, your house might be a disaster, and you’re wondering if you’ll ever have a free hand again. That’s exactly why I’m here. I want to help you hit the pause button on these first few weeks before they’re gone.
Here is what you can actually expect when you book with me:
Don’t stress the mess: If I’m coming to your house, please do not clean for me. I’m there to photograph your baby, not your laundry pile. We only need a little bit of window light to make magic happen.
The “Poop” Factor: Babies pee, poop, and spit up on everything. It’s totally fine! I’ve seen it all, and all my props and blankets are easy to wash. It’s just part of the job.
No “Perfect” Babies Required: If your little one is fussy, needs a diaper change, or wants to snack for an hour, we wait. We go at the baby’s pace. There is zero rush and zero pressure.
You Don’t Have to Look “Perfect” Either: Dark circles under your eyes? Standard. Yoga pants? Great. I’m here to capture the love, not a fashion show.
My goal is to give you photos of those tiny fingernails, the fuzzy shoulders, and the way they fit perfectly in your arms, all while making the session the most relaxing part of your week.
Maternity Photography Session
Let’s be honest: Being pregnant is a lot of work. Some days you feel like a literal superhero, and other days you just want to nap and find a pair of pants that actually fits. I’m here to capture the "superhero" version of you, even if you don’t feel like her right now. My maternity sessions aren't about stiff poses or holding your breath. They’re about celebrating the fact that you are literally growing a human being. Here’s the common-sense breakdown of how we do things: Comfort is King: If your feet hurt, we sit down. If you need a snack break, we take one. I promise we won’t make you hike up a mountain or stand in a weird position for an hour. "I have nothing to wear": Don't sweat it. Whether you want to wear a flowy dress, your favorite jeans, or one of my studio outfits, we’ll make sure you look and feel awesome. The "Awkward" Factor: Most people feel a little weird in front of a camera. I’ll tell you exactly what to do with your hands and how to stand so you look natural, not like a statue. Include the Crew: Want your partner there? Bring 'em. Have older kids who are about to be big siblings? Bring them too! We’ll keep it fun so nobody gets grumpy. Timing is Everything: We usually aim for 28–34 weeks, when your bump is popping but you’re not quite at the "I’m ready for this baby to come out today" stage of tired. You’re doing something amazing. Let’s take an hour to celebrate you before life gets a whole lot busier.
Family Photography Session
You’re worried about the toddler’s nap schedule, wondering if your partner is going to complain about their outfit, and hoping nobody gets a grass stain in the first five minutes. Relax. I’ve got you. My family sessions aren't about sitting perfectly still and saying "cheese" until your face hurts. They’re about actually hanging out together while I snap the good stuff. Here is the common-sense breakdown of how I work: The "Wild Child" Policy: If your kids are running circles around us or refusing to look at the camera—it’s okay! Honestly, those "in-between" moments of them being themselves usually make the best photos anyway. I’m faster than they are, I promise. Bribery is Encouraged: If it takes a fruit snack or a promise of ice cream afterward to get through the shoot, I am 100% on board. No judgment here. Real Life > Perfection: My favorite photos aren't always the ones where everyone is looking at me. They’re the ones where you’re laughing at your kid’s joke or snuggling up together. Your family is already great exactly as you are. Let’s just spend an hour capturing that.
