FAMILY FILMS
The fastest moment in your baby’s life will be the first few weeks. Your sweet one will go from a newborn to a baby in a blink. These beautiful films, presented in a linen bound album, are the perfect way to capture the tender newness in a way only a movie can.
DOCUMENTING YOUR NEW BABY
I love creating pretty portraits, but also enjoy making the entire process easy. You have enough on your plate! I have a closet of dresses for mom and some outfits for older siblings, as well as all the blankets and swaddles we should need for your session. You’ll find my studio stocked with diapers, wipes, a changing table, snacks and drinks. You’ll have an area to rest and another to get ready while I photograph baby.
During your session, I will guide your family into natural posing and arrangements, encourage you to engage with each other, and allow the natural moments to pop up on their own. I am always gentle & friendly with children. As a mother to three and over 20 years photographing children, I’ve come to learn it’s always best to work with their flow rather than force anything on them.
My hope is you arrive ready to be in this moment: nuzzling your new bundle of joy, marveling at the newness of it all.
After your session, I will get to work curating the best collection of images possible. You will have the option of choosing from a set of digital collections, albums and wall art. I take the lead creating these memorable pieces for you, ensuring your images won’t collect dust on an old hard drive.

NEWBORN PORTRAIT DETAILS
You deserve a beautiful record and tangible, heirloom artwork for your family story.
When should I book my newborn portrait session?
My schedule books up very quickly. I recommend scheduling your session as soon as possible, with a session date falling between 7-10 days of your due date. We will adjust accordingly. All newborn sessions must be photographed no later than 12 days old.
What should I plan to invest in my newborn portraits?
After your newborn portrait session takes place, we will gather again either in my studio or the comfort of your home to view your portraits for the first time. (this my favorite part!)
During this meeting, we will put together artwork such as framed pieces for the nursery, gifts for grandparents and heirloom albums. My most popular collections include artwork for the home and digitals, ranging in price from $1500 to $3200.
What should I wear for my newborn photos?
Thankfully with me, you don’t have to worry about this at all. With just a few questions, I will figure out your personal style. Then we will select from my studio wardrobe as well as using my shopping guide to dress the whole family.
How long is a newborn session?
My newborn sessions are approximately 2 hours, but I reserve the morning just in case your bundle of joy needs a little extra attention. To support a calm environment for all, I never rush newborn photos.
Do offer lifestyle newborn or newborn photos in the home?
I do! In fact, one of my favorite places to photograph a newborn is in their nursery as long as it’s ready! Many of my clients choose the studio because they prefer the clean aesthetic of studio images. For in-home sessions, I recommend these only for homes with abundant natural light (most people don’t realize how much light is needed!) and light and airy decor such as lighter furniture and white walls. This factors weigh heavily in creating the style of photography my clients appreciate and hire me to do.
How do I prepare for my newborn photos?
I try my best to provide everything for you from my client wardrobe to pretty swaddles. The most important role you have will be ensuring baby is very well fed. Once you book your session, I will send you over a full planning guide with a checklist.
CREATING NEWBORN ARTWORK FOR THE HOME
Photographing your session is just a small step in the right direction. Afterwards, its time for the real magic. Together we work to find the perfect images for your home. Whether you choose digital files, wall art or an album, I’m here to help bring your vision to life.
Packages include digitals & artwork ranging from $1500 to $3200.
