I so clearly remember the moment each of my sweet children were laid on my chest and I looked into their tiny face for the first time and thought I would explode with love, despite what they had just put me through.
But they get big FAST. My lifestyle approach means your images reflect who your tiny baby is now, and how you and your family feel about them in this moment. I gently guide you through your session, but allow you and your family to interact with your new baby and encourage you to snuggle, play with their tiny toes and give them kisses when you feel like it. This unposed style captures the massive amounts of heart-exploding love you have for your child.
But when we're done, I don't want you to have a bunch of digital files lost somewhere on your phone that you share once on Facebook and forget exist. I know you don't have time to choose images, send them to a printer, pick out frames or design an album, so I do it all for you. You can choose custom framing, a custom designed album or a gallery wrap canvas from your gallery once you see it or included in your package. So all you have to do is wait for it to arrive at your door and hang it up! I'll even help you measure your space for the best fit during our session!

Absolutely not! You can pick 8-30 images for your gallery, and then choose another 12 to 36 images per album, or different images for your custom frames or gallery wrap! I'll even add the digital you choose for your wall art into your gallery, on top of the digital images included in your package.
Yes I do! In fact, when you book your maternity and newborn session together, you'll receive $100 off your package price. You also have the option of adding a Fresh48 session, in case you want to document the entire journey! Click here to see Maternity packages.
I absolutely do! In fact, more than just help, I have a full blog post on what YOU can do to make sure your photos turn out wonderfully (and you can read it here.) I also provide a client closet of dress Mom can pick from, as well as information on how to style the whole family. I'm always happy to help with outfit selection - think of it as shopping with a girl friend!
Yes I do! Traditional payments are 50% due at the time of booking (within a week) and 50% due 24 hours before your family, maternity or newborn session. But, if it's easier for you, I can split payments in three or four equal parts. Just let me know what you prefer, and we can make it work!
Babies are unpredictable, and I plan for that. My newborn sessions are two hours long, not because it takes that long to capture all the photos you'll want, but because I plan for you to take time to feed, change and comfort baby. If baby is fussy, I'm happy to take a break while you nurse or comfort him or her, and we'll star again once baby is settled and you're feeling comfortable!
I offer prints, framed prints, gallery wrap canvases and albums in assorted sizes but have included my most popular choices in my packages. All other sizes can be purchased a la carte in addition to any package. If you wish to see a price list for a la carte items, let me know and I can send it over as well!
