SOMEONE ONCE TOLD ME THAT THE DAYS GO BY SLOWLY, BUT THE YEARS GO BY QUICKLY, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY I WANT TO PRESERVE ALL THE IN-BETWEEN MOMENTS BEFORE THEY ARE LONG GONE AND FORGOTTEN.

Right now you may be experiencing or are about to experience, life’s greatest promotion…becoming a parent. However that may look in your family, I know you want to capture this blurry season of life. Your sweet babies are small right now but that doesn’t last long…time is flying right before your eyes! This is the season where your heart is overflowing with love and pure joy, but you’re also busy, overwhelmed and exhausted. I understand that because I’ve been there.

I want you to remember each tiny detail of your sweet baby.

The way they smell, their tiny toes, the wisps of their baby hair, how their little fingers wrap tightly around yours, their precious face and all the tiny features that make them who they are. I want you to remember just how small they feel in your arms and how much joy your heart feels while they’re nestled into your chest. That’s why I love helping families capture this time through beautiful portraits and heirloom products to pass onto their children one day.

Wardrobe and Style

Keep it simple and neutral! I love lots of organic and natural textures in neutral color tones. You don’t all have to match…stay within a color scheme, keep it neutral for a natural light and airy style. Keep patterns to a minimum, no logos or brands showing. Keep colors soft and subtle so there are no bright/bold colors that your eye will gravitate towards. Remember we are focusing on your new baby and the connection in your family, not your clothing. I want you to feel confident and beautiful in front of the camera, so pick something you feel good in and love wearing. For example, I love flowy, organic dresses on mamas. Flowy dresses often times fit in all the right places especially after having a baby. Don’t stress over clothing choices…put your children in something they will love and be comfortable in that you will still love seeing them wear hanging on your walls 10 years from now. I am always here to help with your family’s wardrobe choices as well.


The Studio

Studio sessions must be by REQUEST only and availability is limited. Studio sessions can be requested for newborn, family, maternity, senior, mommy + me or brand imagery sessions. For newborn sessions, I will make sure you’re comfortable while I work with your newborn on my beanbag and props. I will have plenty of neutral and organic wraps, blankets, hats and headbands to chose from. I won’t need much assistance, so take advantage of this time to rest and relax. I always anticipate for feeding breaks or sibling breaks if needed, so there’s no stress as we take our time to work through a newborn session. The studio will be warm as I want your baby to feel completely comfortable while I am working with them. I usually photograph your newborn with their sibling(s) first, then family photos, then focusing solely on capturing images of your baby. I do this so little siblings can go play, or head home with dad while I focus on the newest addition. I like to keep images clean and simple to focus on your new baby and all their features as well as the connection within your family.

Lifestyle

Lifestyle sessions take place either at a location we choose or at your home. I want you to be comfortable while I document your family in your own environment. Remember that it’s more about the connection of your family vs. perfection. Whether we’re at a beautiful location capturing your family, kids, maternity session or in your family’s home, I want to capture all the life lived out together. I want our session together to be relaxed with lots of memory making fun!

Fresh 48

These sessions will take place in the hospital within the first 48 hours of your newborn’s arrival. These are documentary-style images of the first days with your new addition. I am always so honored to be welcomed into your hospital room and share in your experience of becoming a parent! There’s absolutely nothing like it.

when to book your session

Please book your session with me as soon as possible. I book up quickly due to only having a very limited number of openings available each month. Newborn sessions take place within the first 14 days of your baby’s arrival. Maternity sessions usually take place between 28-36 weeks. Fresh 48 sessions take place in the hospital within the first 48 hours after your baby arrives. To ensure availability, please book your session prior to your due date.
