Welcome to
THEY ARE ONLY TINY ONCE AND ONLY FOR A LITTLE WHILE
NEWBORN SESSION -
My newborn sessions are offered in my cozy studio. The sessions are typically 2-3 hours. I will always go at baby's pace. Necessary breaks for feedings are essential and expected. You can select a baby only session, but I highly recommend everyone get in some shots. These sweet moments won't last forever, but these photos will be timeless. I recommend booking as soon as possible. Once your baby arrives, we will reschedule for an actual date. It is best to schedule between 6-14 days old as they are sleepier and easier to pose. However, I will photograph newborns up to 5-6 weeks old, since we can get beautiful photos at any age. For these sessions, I will provide all the props and cute things. You just need to the baby and milk. I offer complimentary refreshments in my studio because modeling is hard work and I like to make sure everyone is comfortable.

MATERNITY SESSION -
My Maternity Session are offered in my studio or on location. For your studio session you will have access to my entire gorgeous client wardrobe. My client wardrobe contains stunning dresses and beautiful body suits in many colors and shapes. You will have time to try on and see what you like prior to your session starting. Most are one size fits all and provide room for your ever growing baby bump. My client wardrobe is also available for your studio newborn session or a mommy & me session. There is an additional cleaning fee per dress for use during an outdoor session. At this time, I do not provide hair and makeup. I am more than happy to guide you with any touch-ups because I am a detail oriented girly-girl. I am also very hair conscious and will make sure you look your best for your maternity session. You do not have to worry about posing during your session. I will guide 100% of the time. However, if you do have any poses you would like to try, I am all for it!
Why choose me?
I know how precious your sweet new baby is and that trusting someone you don't know is overwhelming. Your comfort and safety are always my number one priority during your session. I was a NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) nurse for 12 years and after that I was a postpartum and labor and delivery nurse for 3 years. I have taken care of so many cute tiny babies and their sweet mommas. This is where my passion for newborn and maternity photography stems from. During my nursing career, I learned how to provide the utmost care and safety when handling your precious babies and to provide ease during your maternity session. I love getting to know my families and I feel so special to be included in one of the best times of your life. I also will make your session memorable one and lots of fun.
It is my privilege to provide you with exceptional service and experience. I understand how much stress you are under with the anticipation of a new baby and I don't want you to worry about a thing. I want this to be a great memory for you and your family. Since I only accept a limited number of clients per month, I am able to dedicate my creativity and attention to your very special session. Upon payment of your session fee, we will discuss ALL the fun details of your session. Most importantly, we will get to know one another which is important for your comfort. I want to know all your ideas for your session and favorite things, so you are thrilled with the results. At your session, you will be greeted with a smile and refreshments. You will be able to select from a variety of outfits, set-ups, poses and more in your gallery. Are you ready to book yet? Click the link below to get in touch with me. I can't wait to hear from you!
