Newborns
YOU’RE PARENTS!
Welcoming a new baby into your family is an incredible experience. Your body is tired; you are filled with emotion- exhaustion, love, excitement, anxiety.
And the world is a beautiful, messy blur.
In-home Session
These take place in your home- the perfect backdrop for photos of your family. Afterall, you spent all that time on your gorgeous nursery- let’s highlight it!
BONUS- you don’t have to leave!
You have time to recover from childbirth- these sessions can be booked up through 8 weeks old.
Everyone gets to be in the pictures.
If you have other children, they are more comfortable on their own turf and have time to adjust to being a sibling.
You can include any four-legged siblings.
Fresh 48
A “Fresh 48” session occurs within the first 48 hours of birth at the hospital where you delivered.
It’s the perfect opportunity to document all your baby’s newness or when your older child meets their baby sibling for the first time.
When you have gone home and time has passed and everything is a blur, the first moments of your baby’s life are there for you to look back upon.
pricing
It doesn’t have to be weird, but unfortunately you can’t pay me in wine and chocolate. I don’t want to waste your time or mine, so use this as a measuring stick.
Family photos are valuable for numerous reasons. I truly believe that these are the moments that hang on your wall and ground you at the end of a tough day; they are the photos that your children will have to preserve their family legacy; they are so much more than a holiday card.
Packages begin at $950. Each package includes a combination of digital images and product packages.
that first year though…
Parents deserve an award for making it through the first year of a child’s life.
When the days are at times insanely long and hard, the months end up being short, and before you know it… a year has passed.

from crawling to walking- we preserve all the wonder of that first year.

What to Expect

A Personalized Approach
Every booking begins with a short phone call where I can answer your questions, collaborate ideas for your session, and firm up a date. From there, booking is easy peezy lemon squeezy.
I use a questionnaire to get to know your family, which allows me to highlight your family’s awesomeness. I provide you with a client prep guide, which has everything from clothing recommendations to how to prepare your children for the session.

Session Time, Baby!
Woohoo! Here is the fun part!
I'll initially get everyone comfortable with a few poses and shutter clicks, and then we let the session unfold. I want you to snuggle into your partner, breathe in your baby, kiss, laugh, and enjoy this time you have together, unplugged from everything else.
I move at the pace of the baby- whether he/she needs to eat or is sleepy or is wide awake- it is all good.
I've been doing this a long time and spent years as a social worker- there's very little I haven't seen and not much phases me- so take a deep breath, relax, and know I GOT YOU!

Archival-Quality Prints
We all plan on printing, but photos always end up living on our computers and phones. I’ve taken the headache out of getting your images printed!
A few weeks after your session, you’ll be presented with your images and will choose your package (each of which contains digitals and print credit). From there, in a few clicks, you’ll design an album or order museum-quality prints, acrylic art, canvas, or framed prints using the print credit from your purchased collection, delivered straight to your doorstep!
Why you should book this session
When I gave birth to my first child, it did not go swimmingly to say the least. After 25 hours, I needed a c-section to safely bring my child into the world. My body was raw and worn, and the world was spinning. I had dreams of photographing my baby, but I had no desire and my body could barely move. I wish I had hired someone to capture those first moments.
I didn’t make that mistake twice.
And that’s my job- to document your new family dynamic- from siblings to four legged babies, the moments your partner is learning to swaddle, feeding or bathing your baby, or simply those moments snuggled on your chest- all within the comfort of your own home.
