Maternity

Maternity photography captures the essence of this unique season of your life and your baby’s life. The pictures that we take during a maternity session are family keepsakes that you can show off in elegant products in your home such as a portfolio box or heirloom album, gorgeous wall art, or more!

I promise that you WILL want to share your maternity photos with your family and friends, because you’ll look amazing! When I take photos of you during your maternity session, I’ll dress you in beautiful client closet maternity gowns (If You Choose) I will put you in the best poses to highlight your cute little baby bump, your pregnancy glow, and your empowering body. You’ll look absolutely gorgeous!

Fresh 48

A fresh 48 photography session focuses on authentic storytelling by capturing delicate expressions, details, & tender interactions between family members( example: siblings meeting for the first time.) This Allows you to hold onto unforgettable memories that might otherwise be forgotten amidst the haze of early parenthood.

The first forty-eight hours after birth is an extraordinary period in which parents get to witness their baby's initial experiences and adaptability outside the womb! Let’s freeze those moments forever!

In- Home/ Lifestyle Newborn

You may be surprised, but a lifestyle newborn session isn’t just about the newborn--it's about the entire family.

It’s about connection.

It’s about capturing the newness and excitement and nurturing.

It’s about love and engagement and authenticity.

It’s about taking the time to stop and look and wonder and be in awe of your little creation(s)--as a whole.

And all this transpires in the comfort of your own home—capturing all the little details and unplanned moments.

It’s a mixture of suggested posing and what comes natural.

It’s an intimate experience filled with laughter, cuddling, cooing and crying.

It's your personal, unique experience capturing what you do best: being you.

Outdoor Newborn

Wondering if bringing your newborn outside is right for you?

Ask yourself these questions:

When is sunset or sunrise? If it’s too early or late for your family schedule this may not work well.
Does your family enjoy being outdoors?
Do you want your newborn photos in your home or in a studio instead?
Do you prefer lifestyle and natural poses or more posed and planned?
If you have other children, what is the best environment for them?

For me, it’s the light and the ease of the session. That stunning sunlight is enough to coax me into taking outdoor photos as long as its warm enough!
