Those tiny fingers, that little yawn, the way they curl up so perfectly - these moments are fleeting and SO precious. Let me capture them before they grow up on you!
My newborn sessions are relaxed, baby-led, and focused on capturing natural, lifestyle moments. We follow baby's schedule - if they need to eat, sleep, or have a diaper situation (it happens!), we just roll with it. Your only job is to snuggle your baby and let me do the rest.
Everything you need for beautiful newborn portraits you'll treasure forever.
I come to you! Sessions happen in the comfort of your own home where baby (and you) are most relaxed
We work on baby's schedule - feedings, diaper changes, and naps are all part of the experience
Every image is carefully edited to capture the warmth and beauty of these first days
