Once you've lovingly tucked away those teeny-tiny onesies, neatly stored the high-chair, and carefully packed up the crib, it's time for something truly magical - capturing those fleeting moments of your newborn in timeless portraits that will warm your heart forever. At my studio, Newborn Sessions are a special experience tailored for babies between 5 to 18 days old, held on cozy weekend mornings. Your due date acts as your placeholder in my schedule, so it's a good idea to reserve your session by the second trimester to ensure I can accommodate you and your little one during this precious window of time.
Once you've reserved your session, get ready for some fun! You'll receive a delightful newborn session survey, where you can share your preferences for colors, props, and backdrops, making your session uniquely yours. Remember to send it back at least 72 hours before your session so I can prepare everything just the way you like it. And don't worry about feeling overwhelmed - along with your booking confirmation, you'll receive a comprehensive session guide packed with all the information you need to prepare for a relaxed and enjoyable session. From what to expect on the day to tips for getting the best shots, I've got you covered!
When your little one finally arrives, it's time to let me know so we can schedule your session. If you have a planned c-section or induction date, be sure to share that with me too. I want to ensure I'm ready to capture those precious moments as soon as your bundle of joy makes their grand entrance. Your baby's first photoshoot is a milestone worth celebrating, and I can't wait to be a part of it. Get ready for a session filled with love, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime!

It's amazing how quickly our little ones grow up, isn't it? I often find myself lost in the sweet nostalgia of my oldest child's baby photos—the tender moments of planting kisses on his cheeks, carrying him close in a baby carrier on our walks, and the infectious giggles we shared on swings at the park.
Now, let's dive into the exciting world of milestones! I've got sessions lined up at 3, 6, and 12 months, usually on cozy weekend mornings. It's wise to secure your spot at least two months ahead, especially for those sought-after times. At 3 months, we capture those precious moments with baby on their belly or back, showcasing their budding personality and charm.
Then comes the sitter stage—around 6 to 10 months—when they're mastering sitting up all on their own. This is when their personalities really start to shine! I absolutely love these sessions because they capture that genuine joy and curiosity that's so heartwarming. And if they're already on the move, no worries, I've got some tricks up my sleeves for that too!
My backdrop is carefully crafted to highlight your baby's adorable features, with a blend of white curtains and light-colored neutrals, and I've got wardrobe choices to match for both boys and girls. Sessions typically last up to an hour because let's face it, babies have their own agendas to keep!
Now, let's talk about safety. Your peace of mind is my top priority, so I always offer to wear a fresh mask for each session, and my Covid-19 vaccinations are all up-to-date. Plus, everything—I mean everything—that I handle during sessions undergoes a thorough disinfecting. Booking is a breeze with a $100 non-refundable deposit and a signed agreement, and the best part? You'll receive high-resolution downloads included with no extra charges!
These milestone sessions? They're not just about snapping cute photos. They're about capturing those fleeting moments, creating memories that'll warm your heart for years to come. So as you watch your little one explore the world around them, remember to capture those precious moments and hold onto them tight, because they truly are the most priceless treasures of all.

Hey there, let me share with you my incredible journey as a NICU nurse! It was truly a profound experience, where I witnessed firsthand the resilience of newborns and the mix of joy and uncertainty that parents face. This journey highlighted to me just how precious those early moments of life are and how crucial it is for families to bond during this time. Transitioning to maternity photography felt like a natural step for me because I wanted to capture the sheer beauty of pregnancy. Drawing from my background as a nurse, I approach each maternity session with sensitivity and a keen eye for detail. My goal is to ensure that every mom-to-be feels comfortable and empowered throughout the experience. And let's not forget about those amazing dads too! I absolutely love capturing the special connection between partners and the excitement as they await their new arrival.
I take immense pride in my work, and I feel truly honored to document the journey of each expectant family. Preserving those moments of joy and celebration is incredibly important to me, and it's what I strive to achieve with every photo session. If you're considering booking a session with me, I recommend doing so between 28-35 weeks of pregnancy. For petite first-time moms, the ideal window is between 32-35 weeks. You can leave the worries of wardrobe behind because you'll have access to my exclusive studio wardrobe and coordinating backdrops. Additionally, I'll provide you with a maternity session guide filled with recommendations on colors, hair, and makeup, so you can feel and look your absolute best.
Just to put your mind at ease, I make sure to wear a brand new K-95 mask for everyone's protection, and I'm fully vaccinated against COVID-19, Tdap, and the flu. Cleanliness is paramount, so rest assured that everything used during the session, including backdrops and wardrobes, is thoroughly sanitized and washed. To book a session, all it takes is a $100 non-refundable retainer and a signed contract with model clauses. However, if you're a foster parent, you won't need to worry about the model clauses. So, let's team up and create some beautiful memories together!
