My Approach
Maternity + Baby
Newborn Only
Looking to book maternity and newborn photos? Fantastic! I offer a 30 minute maternity shoot + full lifestyle family shoot combo package that fits most growing family's needs. I recommend taking maternity photographs between 32 and 34 weeks. That way you're showing, but not swollen! Lol.
My newborn sessions are very relaxed, cozy, and lifestyle-driven. They're more "baby on grandma's homemade blanket" and less "lots of cool poses + styled outfits". I love texture, baskets, flowers, light, and lots of swaddles + snuggles. The
goal? For the photos to feel
like a hug!
For newborn photos, I recommend
booking a lifestyle family session.
We'll photograph your new babe solo for about twenty minutes and, for the rest of the hour, we'll have the whole family snuggled up. My newborn sessions typically take place in the family's home. The photos end up as a little time capsule
and it's so lovely!
Package cost: $950
Session cost: $625

Frequently Asked Questions
What's Your Photography Style?
Where Should We Shoot?
In home sessions are encouraged for lifestyle newborn sessions and for families with young children who are uncomfortable with the camera. The more comfortable your kids are, the happier your photographs will be!
Keep in mind! Your house doesn’t need to be perfect - or anywhere near it! - for family photos! If you’re not into in-home photographs or love the idea of photographs outdoors or at a unique location, we’ll work together to pick the best place for our shoot. I’m all for collaboration for shoot locations!
Y'know that feeling when you open up a box of 120 crayons? The one full of color and hope and so many possibilities? That's the feeling I want my photographs to have.
A little more info! My style is very bright, colorful, and happy. From the start of my career, I've chosen to not specialize in a specific genre of photography (ie only shooting family sessions); I've made it my goal to specialize in a feeling instead! People look back on photographs to remember the good + bright times in their lives. I want to give you photographs that'll make you glow with joy for all the years to come!
How Should I Prep for My Shoot?
What Are Lifestyle Family Photos?
Get ready to have fun!
I photography my families like I photograph my kids: we're going to have fun, run around, and play. Think lots of chasing, lots of exploring, and lots of excitement, too. To prep for your shoot, let me know if there's an activity you'd like featured (could be as simple as coloring at the park or as involved as a family pancake dinner!). From there, get ready like you're getting ready for a play date, just dressed a little fancier.
We're going to have a blast!
Lifestyle family photos are laid back family photographs that focus on a feeling, not on an “everyone look at the camera” kinda feeling.
While I alway make a full family smiling photograph a priority, I’m way more concerned with the way your family feels + creating photographs that you’ll look back on in ten years and gush “This is so us!!” in a way that will immediately segue the conversation into the way your 4 year old only wanted to eat popsicles for dinner after your photoshoot. I feel so passionately about heirloom image making and, while I totally get the need for that classic money shot photograph, I’m way more concerned with capturing the connection between your family instead. It’s the best!
What Should We Wear?
Are Family Photos Stressful?
Nope! Family sessions are FUN!
I photograph all families like I photograph my own kids: I get on their level, chat with them about their favorite things, and listen to everything they want to say with a huge grin on my face. There’s lots of joking, lots of clapping and, often, I come dressed in an everyday mom outfit. All this makes the kids relax! And if a child is having a rough day? It’s literally no big. I’ve got three kids of my own + am the oldest daughter in a family of six siblings. A little meltdown won’t even make me blink, lol.
Dress to coordinate, not match!
Here's the easiest way: find a dress that Mom absolutely loves. If it has multiple colors (ie a floral design), pick everyone else's outfit based on those colors. So, if there's a blue and green flower on a pink dress, the outfits would be Mom: Flower Dress, Son: Blue Shirt, Daughter: Pink Dress, Husband: Plaid Shirt with Coordinating Green. This doesn't have to be Mom's dress - it could be Dad's plaid shirt, the baby's romper, etc. - but it works so great!
I do not recommend wearing clothing with brand names, large symbols, or cartoon characters.
Ready for photographs that'll make your heart stop?
You're in the right place!
