Becoming a mom changed everything for me. When my second daughter was born, I realized how quickly those early days disappear—the sleepy stretches, tiny fingers wrapped around mine, and the way she curled up on my chest. It made me want to freeze time—and that’s what led me to newborn photography.

I believe in real moments—the quiet ones and the chaotic ones—and in creating images that feel true to your family. The kind you’ll want to print, frame, and see on your walls every day. Because these early days don’t last forever, but the memories can.

My goal is more than just beautiful photos. I want to help you tell the story of this season. Whether you’re welcoming a new baby or wrangling toddlers at golden hour, I’m here to help you feel confident, cared for, and completely at ease.

GET TO KNOW THE PHOTOGRAPHER

welcome

I know trusting someone with your family photos is personal—especially when you're sleep-deprived or chasing toddlers. That’s why every session starts with a simple conversation.

We'll chat about your vision, your family dynamic, and any concerns you have. Whether you're worried about outfits or wondering if your house is “photo-worthy” (it is!), I’m here to walk you through it all.

My job is to make this feel easy, relaxed, and even fun. Let’s find out if we’re a great fit.


LET's CONNECT

Once your date is reserved, we'll connect to start chatting about possible locations for your session. We generally recommend choosing one location and if it's a place you haven't been before, it might be helpful to visit during the time our session will take place.

That way you have an idea of the light, crowds, closing time, etc! If you're not sure about where you would like to take your photos but you have a general idea of the look you would like, just let us know because we would be happy to recommend a few locations based on your aesthetic!

If picking out outfits for photos takes you back to your high school days when you literally tried on everything in your closet and piled it on your bed but still felt like you had nothing to wear, you're in luck. 

We put together an extensive outfit suggestion guide with tips for every member of the family (even Fido!)

On the day of your session, we'll connect to make sure the weather still looks like it's going to corporate. We'll exchange numbers and finalize our meeting location. Please plan for your session to take about two hours from start to finish.

If you want a stress-free setting without worrying about weather or tidying up, the studio is the perfect space to relax and settle in. You’ll walk away with photos that feel calm, classic, and ready to frame.

The Studio

location inspiration

The greenhouse is the perfect blend of nature and comfort, offering soft, diffused light and a lush, organic backdrop that feels both relaxed and elegant. The natural greenery and warm tones create a timeless, earthy feel that beautifully complements soft newborn details and family connections.

Choosing the greenhouse means you get the beauty of an outdoor setting without worrying about the weather. It’s a calm, cozy space where you can feel at ease while capturing those intimate, fleeting moments. The result is a set of natural, heartfelt images that feel warm and timeless.

The farm offers a beautiful, open-air setting with golden light, rolling fields, and natural textures that create a relaxed, timeless feel. The wide-open spaces give kids room to play and explore, leading to natural, joy-filled moments that translate beautifully in photos.

Choosing the farm means you’ll get those dreamy, sun-kissed images with a mix of soft greenery and warm, rustic tones. It’s perfect for capturing authentic family connections in a setting that feels peaceful and effortless — the kind of session where you can just breathe and be present.

The Farm

The river offers a peaceful, natural backdrop with soft water reflections, smooth stones, and the gentle sound of flowing water. The combination of light and texture creates a relaxed, organic feel that makes for beautifully timeless photos.

Choosing the river means you’ll get the best of nature’s calm and beauty. The soft tones of the water and surrounding trees create a serene atmosphere, perfect for capturing quiet newborn snuggles or playful family moments. It’s a setting that feels effortless and natural — letting your family’s connection take center stage.

An in-home session allows you to capture your family’s story in the place where you’re most comfortable — home. The familiar surroundings create a relaxed atmosphere where your family can settle in naturally, making the photos feel intimate and authentic.

Choosing an in-home session means you don’t have to worry about packing up or adjusting to a new environment. We’ll work with the natural light and cozy spaces in your home to create timeless images that reflect your family’s everyday love and connection. It’s about capturing real moments in the place where your memories are made.

The sooner the better! My weekends tend to fill up pretty quickly - especially during the spring and fall, so the sooner you reach out to us, the more likely you are to get your desired date!  

To reserve your date, Ill need a contract as well as a deposit. And if something comes up and you need to change your date, just let us know! 

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK?

Unless you've modeled professionally, you're probably going to feel awkward in front of the camera. Heck, we take photos for a living and we even feel like a deer in the headlights when we're in front of the camera. 

You're going to feel awkward at first, but as the session goes on and we coach you through images, we think you'll find that being photographed can actually be fun. And don't worry about your kids. We're well versed in capturing even the busiest of little ones. 

We're Awkward and my kids don't sit still.

No one wants to look like a wet dog in their photos so if it looks like it's going to rain, snow, hail or some other weather catastrophe, we'll be in touch via email or phone to reschedule.

Often, when we're scheduling our initial portrait session date, if it works for our calendars, we'll actually set up both a main date and a rain date just to make sure we don't have to postpone your session for very long if the weather is bad on the original date. 

WHAT IF IT RAINS?

Within a few weeks of your session, you'll receive a link to a digital gallery that will allow you to download high resolution images. 

The gallery is also set up to make ordering prints, canvases and other keepsakes as easy as turning on a Roomba to clean your floors. No worrying about tricky things like color correction, DPI and image format. 

How will we receive our photos?
