As someone who struggled for 12 years with infertility before finally getting the best surprise in life in 2022 (and wow, again now in 2023!) with two little babies in our lives now, I understand all the heart and joy and emotion that goes into creating a tiny human.

A huge congratulations to you and everything this means for you and your family.

Your motherhood photos are about taking the time to capture your energy, all the self-hugs as you anticipate your little baby and your beautiful, fun-loving self. You’ll have these memories to share with your children as they grow.

Maternity sessions don’t need to be fancy, they can be at home, cozy in your leggings, showing off your bare belly and boy-shorts in your bedroom window light, snuggling up with your dog or partner and just taking in these quiet moments.

But if you love the photos you see of mamas all dressed up and out in some beautiful field or nature spot, let’s do it!

Get glammed up and wear a fabulous outfit with your hair and makeup done. These are YOUR memories, make them what you want, I’m here to brainstorm with you for locations and ideas to fit you.

I offer a Maternity Client Closet and clothing suitable for new mamas too.

Nothing fits quite right after that baby arrives and you’re jumping into a photo session in the first 2-4 weeks with your baby.

Use of the Client closet outfits is complimentary for your session with me

Session Options

Newborn sessions are held in your home as candid, lifestyle and documentary moments. We have you sharing snuggles on the couch or in your bedroom, wrapping your little on in cute blankets or outfits and just letting them be. We can also head outside for a sweet outdoor session and I’ll bring along a blanket & basket for your little one to be cozy in.

My newborn sessions are NOT POSED with backdrops, props or other items except a couple of blankets or baskets when we shoot outdoors. I no longer offer studio sessions at this time as we have moved to a new location without a studio.

You are welcome to include your own little headbands or accessories. My newborn sessions are documentary style with just you and your family enjoying these quiet sweet little moments, close-ups and baby yawns and wrinkles.

Booking your Sessions

Maternity sessions are your chance to share some time with your partner or just celebrate your fabulous mama self.

Kids and pets are always welcome to join your session.

For Maternity and Newborn portrait sessions we can work together in my studio, in your home or at a beautiful outdoor location.

Last Minute Newborn Sessions may be able to be accommodated if your baby has already arrived, please reach out asap to check availability

I try to make each session unique and personal to you, including the location that fits your ideas best for these important life events

All newborn sessions whether in our studio or in your home, or outdoors, are Lifestyle sessions only.

This means candids and some poses but I do not include props or baby wrapping poses etc. You will snuggle up and may use a basket or blanket for some close ups, but it’s all about natural moments and candids of your baby and family.
