Maternity & Newborn Portraits

Capturing those moments you will never want to forget...


The anticipation of adding a new family member is such a beautiful and exciting time. For me, an expecting woman is simply stunning! The shape and curves of your body, the glow in your face and skin and the natural confidence that a pregnant woman carries herself with is magical. Yes, not every moment of pregnancy is fun and games but this is a moment in your life to be celebrated and commemorated. My goal is to make every expecting mom feel confident and gorgeous. Whether you do your photos solo or with your partner and any other children, I aim to mark this period in your life with beautiful images.


Once the baby arrives, the first few weeks with a new baby can be a blur of diapers, bottles & sleepless nights but also snuggles, tiny toes, yawns, kisses & treasured moments you will want to look back on forever. Newborn sessions should not be rushed as there a lot of unknowns that will come with your session around feeding, sleeping, diapering and more. Allowing enough time for the baby to be cared for allows for a content baby in their photos and relaxed parents. Newborn sessions are typically done in the comfort of your home which also allows me to capture the nursery and other cozy places you are spending so much time in with your new addition.


Additionally, I offer First Year Milestone Packages for families that want to invest in professional photography to document their child's first year. First Year Milestone packages can be customized to your family's unique needs and wants but the standard package will include a Newborn session, Sitter (approx 6 months) session and a Walker (approx 1 year) session. At the conclusion of all of your First Year sessions, we will work together to create an heirloom quality album with your favorite images from you sessions.
