Did you know my stress-free experience was created from the experience I wish I had? As a first-time mom, I had no idea what to expect postpartum, and preparing for our in-home newborn session was a disaster! I had no idea what my body would be like, so I had nothing to wear, 16-day-old Hattie was a pretty routine 3-hour nurser, but started cluster feeding THAT morning (go figure!), then I dropped my brand new diamond earring down the drain 10 minutes before our photographer was about to arrive. We. Were. FRAZZLED. 🫠


Sound familiar? This is why I work closely with my clients to ensure their experience is different. From wardrobe options for your entire family, blocked scheduling for a stress-free start time, and complimentary delivery and installation of your artwork, I handle every single detail for you so YOU aren't frazzled! 

Before


During your pre-session style consultation, we plan all of the details from location and wardrobe to optional hair and makeup and artwork. We plan every detail so you aren't worried about a thing on the day of your session.

During


Planning the details ahead of time allows you to show up, love your family, and have fun on the day of your session! On average, a newborn session lasts ~1.5 hours and all immediate family members are included.  I do my best to get full family, dad, and sibling shots done first and wrap up with mama & baby.

After


It takes me about 3 weeks to select, edit, and deliver your best images.  Once your gallery is ready, we will meet for your design and ordering appointment.

During this time, you will see your gallery for the first time and I will help you select the best digital files and custom artwork for your home! Complimentary delivery and installation is always included.
