My newborn sessions are offered in my cozy studio or in the comfort of your own home. 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.

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.
