What to Expect
As a portrait photographer, I strive to create more than just beautiful images – I want to capture the essence of who you are right now. While I'm sure we'll get some lovely shots that your grandmother would adore, my real goal is to create timeless portraits that even your grandchildren will want to display one day.
My approach combines capturing genuine moments with artistic editing to enhance your unique personality. Together, we'll create stunning portraits that are pieces of art worthy of hanging in your home. These images will tell your story and preserve this special moment in your life for generations to come.

The ideal time to schedule a newborn photography session is within the first two weeks after birth. During this period, babies tend to be sleepier, more flexible, and easier to pose, allowing us to capture those adorable, curled-up poses. It's essential to contact us during your pregnancy so we can reserve a spot on our calendar, typically around your due date. However, we understand that every baby arrives on their schedule, so we remain flexible to accommodate changes in your baby's arrival date.
Absolutely! We encourage family members, including siblings, parents, and even pets, to be a part of the photoshoot. These images capture the bonds and emotions that surround the arrival of your newborn and create cherished memories for your family. We recommend discussing your preferences during the consultation so we can plan the session accordingly, ensuring everyone feels comfortable and involved.
You don't need to worry about bringing much to the session. We provide a variety of props, blankets, and accessories to create beautiful and unique setups. However, if you have sentimental items you'd like to incorporate into the photos, such as heirloom blankets or toys, please feel free to bring them. It's also a good idea to bring any essentials your baby might need during the session, such as diapers, wipes, and extra outfits. Our studio is designed to be comfortable, with amenities to make your baby's experience as pleasant as possible.
