Precious new little one...
If you’re looking for an experienced newborn photographer who will take good care of your new little bundle of joy and also capture all of those precious little details that change in the blink of an eye, look no further. Whether you are looking for a traditional, posed newborn session, a more relaxed lifestyle in-home feel, or even Fresh48 photos - I would love to give these gift of these memories to your family.
The first step in the process is to book your date! For posed newborn photos, the best time is within the first two weeks. Obviously, newborns don't always follow a predictable schedule, so I recommend booking your due date, and we can always adjust once we know the exact date of your little one's arrival.
Once your date is selected, a signed contract and session fee of $250 secures your date on my calendar. I always make time in my calendar for newborns, because this time goes by so quickly and they will never be this tiny again.
Be sure to check out the FAQ section at the bottom if you have questions about the different type of newborn sessions I offer or if you have questions about a slightly older newborn and what your session will look like.

Step 1:
Book your date
Give me all the baby snuggles!
When you arrive at your session, it is my job to handle everything and for you to take some time to relax. I promise your baby is in good hands and will handle your little one with all the care and love that I show my own.
I have lots of props and accessories available to choose from and will have several sets laid out and ready for you when you arrive.
Woo hoo! After you’ve reserved on my calendar, we get to work together to plan it all out:
The type of session you hope to have
Any color or style preferences you hope to include.
Whether it will be just baby, include mom and dad or even loving big siblings
Step 2:
THE PLANNING PROCESS
The day we've all been waiting for!
Your Job: Keep the family chill and relaxed. Get a good night's sleep and a nap if needed. I know it's easy to say, but try not to stress and rest assured that you are in good hands with me.
My Job: Keep an eye on the weather. Be at your location on time, with fresh batteries, extra memory cards and a head full of ideas and inspiration. I'll be there to laugh with you, keep everyone engaged and happy, and capture memories that will stay with you for a lifetime.
Sessions usually last between 45 minutes up to an hour.

All babies are different and so is their newborn session. We can absolutely still capture precious newborn memories at any age. A baby that is a few weeks older will often spend more time wrapped or have lifestyle poses held by a parent or in a more natural position.
I do not currently have a studio space, but set up a beanbag, props and lighting in my home. The session will flow and look much like it does in a studio space, but with a more relaxed space for you.
Many sessions are fairly limited with a newborn since it can often take time for the little ones to settle in. A mini posed session will most likely only include one set or look, but we can get a good bit of variety in that look. A family mini is also a great option if you want to get photos holding your little one or with a proud new big sibling. I'm happy to offer a mini session any time. They follow the same structure and collection process listed above, but with a shorter session time and a lower price point.
