Newborn Photography is so special
The literal first professional photos of your child -- how precious is that? There's a few ways to go about newborn photography, and my style definitely resides in what's called "lifestyle newborn photography". Lifestyle newborn photos are much more natural, focusing on the family together with their new member (as well as solo portraits of the baby, of course). It often takes place in the new parents' home, in their choice of nursery, living room, master bedroom, backyard, etc.
Lifestyle newborn photography is quite different than posed newborn photography, which is where the baby is neatly posed in a studio and retouched to give a "perfect" appearance. If that is the kind of newborn photography you are looking for, unfortunately I'm not the right person for you. But if you do gravitate towards the natural, lifestyle vibe - keep scrolling!

How I work
My approach to newborn photography
Newborn photography can be tricky. Let's be honest, the parents are sleep-deprived, the baby is on and off crying or hungry, etc. If we can push that aside for a moment, it's clear that it is such a BEAUTIFUL time as well. I like to bring that attitude to the photoshoots, and go with the flow in terms of accepting how the baby is feeling instead of working against them. My strategy is that I always get the solo portraits of the baby when they're in their best mood; whether that be sleeping, or awake & smiley. When the baby is upset or crying, I'm still able to capture detail photographs of their little hands & feetsies, as well as a lot of family photos. So instead of trying to come in with a set plan of which photos to do when, I find it much better to have an open mind and create some memories that are authentic and beautiful.

Styling Guide
Choosing your outfit for a photoshoot can be harder than it seems, especially as a sleep-deprived new parent. To ease that headache, I've compiled a list of some of my best tips for choosing what to wear. Receive my Styling Guide upon booking!
Posing Guidance
So you never have to worry about looking "awkward" in photos or not knowing what to do. Posing is my job, not yours! I have lots of ideas in my head and references to poses on my phone, so there will never be an "Um, what should we do now?" moment.
Unlimited Communication
I'm here to answer any questions you may have over text, email, DM, or phone call! Heck, even fax me. Want my professional opinion on your little cutie's outfit, or to send over screenshots of inspo you found on Pinterest? Go for it!
Polaroids
Physical photos are so rare & precious nowadays! That's why I love to snap a polaroid or two & gift you with it to always remember this special time. Hang it on your car dash, the mirror where you get ready in the morning, or gift it to grandma! I provide 1 free polaroid for the Silver Package, 2 for the Gold, and 4 (plus a frame that fits your two favorites) for the Diamond Package.

My Process
Step 1
Fill out my contact form on the "Contact" page of this website to get the process started! I'll respond within 24 hours and we'll get to talking more about your vision and what you want from the session.
Step 2
Once you decide to officially book with me (yay, I can't wait!), I simply require a signed contract and 20% retainer. This locks in my commitment to photographing your newborn session. We'll finalize details such as the location, date, & timing of the session.
Step 3
Now that we're official, it's time for the fun part - the photoshoot! I come prepared with all my gear and lighting. You'll prepare by cleaning the space you want photographed of any clutter, and ideally feeding the baby shortly before my arrival.
Step 4
After the session, I get straight to work on editing those beautiful photos. I send a Sneak Peek gallery 24-72 hours after the session to ensure you can admire & share some images as soon as possible. Your final gallery takes 2-4 weeks to be delivered, but it will be well worth the wait. Our journey together has officially come to a close, for now. Don't worry - it's not goodbye, it's see you later!
