10:00 AM is usually a good start time for babies and parents.

I believe your baby is perfect just the way he/she is without any distractions. Photos of your infant in your arms or your partner's arms are all the props we need. It's all about connection and remembering these early days. But, of course, if you have a special item, blanket, gift, or something sentimental you want included, we absolutely will.

Yes, but only for a short amount of time. Keeping your newborn physically close to you helps with strengthing the important growing bond and I don't want to disrupt that. For this reason the majority of your images will be taken with your baby close to you and family.
-
Absolutely. Documenting this intimate time between you and your infant is very special. If you prefer to nurse in private without photos I respect your decision.
-
Yes! Your 4-legged family member is exactly that, family!

You will receive a prep guide with helpful suggestions from wardrobe guidance to prepping your home.

Get to know me more…
I'm beyond thankful and honored to have had some amazing life experiences – long distance hiker, 27-year member of our Armed Forces, wife, health care worker, world traveler, cat mom – and through it all, photography has been my journal. It started as a hobby, grew into a passion, and now a business. I can't put a value on all those photographs. But I do know this: I’m endlessly grateful I have them.
