NEWBORN LIFESTYLE
Having a newborn at home is crazy! I've been there, I get it. But documenting those new little moments really is priceless. Those teenie toes, those squishy legs and those gassy smiles! And equally important is documenting the totally normal, not so glamorous moments as well - the adorable awkwardness of a sink bath, baby burps, sofa snuggles...believe me, those are the foggy memories you'll be happy to have to look back on later.
Sound overwhelming? Don't worry! It's my goal to make this as stress free as possible! I will come to you and all we will do is take photos of you doing what you do - being a parent. You will receive a prep guide full of helpful tips about how to prepare your family and your home, and don't worry, no cleaning service or hair and makeup are required! The real moments will mean more down the road.
This style of session is also perfect for "older" newborns, as they don't require much posing and a more alert baby can make for more engaging photos, capturing connection between the two of you. I recommend anywhere from one to 6 weeks. Sessions typically last 2-4 hours, leaving time for feedings and changes. If baby has siblings (even furry ones) I'm more than happy to include them!
POSES
If you just love those little sweet little newborn poses as well, I'm with you! I always bring along a few props and wraps. We will discuss your ideas in advance so I know what shots are most important to you. We also discuss details like color schemes and style and talk about what you hope to do with your images in the end - for instance nursery art, a family portrait or a beautiful baby album.
Something to note is that the younger the baby the easier they are to pose. Although we won't be attempting anything too ambitious like we might in a studio, a baby under 10 days will be much sleepier - so if you're looking for a pose-heavy gallery keep in mind your baby's age and please let me know when we speak. If you think you missed the window, there are still a number of achievable poses for "older" newborns too.
I want you to feel totally comfortable, and am always happy to answer any questions you have along the way!

Which type of session is right for you?
HOME or STUDIO
HOME STORYTELLING: LIFESTYLE & DOCUMENTARY SESSION
Unique. Authentic. Comfortable.
In-home sessions are a truly memorable experience and a way to authentically capture what it's like to be a first time parent or celebrate another baby! Taking place in the comfort of your own space, we work together in advance to fully customize your session, considering every detail and making sure to capture moments that are important and unique to you and your family. With a combination of lifestyle and documentary photography you'll be left with images to not only proudly display and share with family for generations but to also look back on to remember this special and fleeting time.
NATURAL & TIMELESS STUDIO SESSION
Simple. Natural. Timeless.
Maybe you're just not feeling an in-home session, and that's ok! While not having to leave the house has its perks, some families are looking for a simpler solution. Meet my Natural and Timeless Studio session. With an emphasis on classic creams, beiges and whites and a variety of delicious knit textures you'll want to snuggle your baby and your images! Simple lifestyle shots using natural light create gorgeous moments that capture this very special time.
How it Works
We do things a little bit differently to make your life EASIER!
01
Schedule a Call
Talking on the phone? What is this, 1995? I get it. But this is a really important step. Chatting "in person" gives you the opportunity to tell me what you have in mind, get all of your questions answered and learn why choosing us is going to solve all of your problems! Wink wink.
So let me give you call!
02
Planning Your Session
This is one of the most appreciated parts of your experience. Before your session we will meet in your home for a Style & Concept consultation, where we will plan out all of the details of your session. That way, when I come in for the big day we'll already be friends and have a solid plan!
03
The Big Day
It's here! For home sessions, I will arrive at our pre-determined time and will begin with details and individual shots of your baby. We will then move on to combinations of Baby with different members of the family and all together in different spaces. We can also incorporate interactive activities like reading or a bath! And don't forget your fur babies!
(I bring everything we need for Baby! Anything you add is completely up to you, but if you choose, you don't need to do a thing!)
04
We Won't Leave You Hanging!
After your images have been soft edited, we will meet back up for a premiere ordering appointment (typically in your home to make things easier for you), I will expertly guide you through the process of choosing your very favorite images and the perfect products and artwork to compliment them! When I leave, your work will be done and all you need to do is get back to life with your new little one!
FAQ's
My baby is already over a week. Is it too late for a Newborn Session?
Nope! You're in luck because the best thing about natural sessions in that Baby gets to be themself! Posed newborns need to be sleepy, and therefore very new in order squish them into all those little positions, but for us we're going au natural. An "older" newborn is typically more awake and more alert which allows for more opportunity of shots with connection and engagement.
And, my favorite part is that waiting gives you time to settle in and figure things out a bit before a lady with a camera comes through the door!
I photograph newborns all the way up to 8 weeks, but I find the sweet spot to be 3-5 weeks.
What about if baby is older than 8 weeks? No problem! "New Baby Sessions" are very similar!
My house is small. Can we still use it?
Absolutely! I've shot in everything from spacious homes with cathedral ceilings to tight Boston condos to basement apartments. With a little creativity we can always make it work!
I'm so awkward in front of the camera. How will I know what to do?
Don't stress! One great thing about this type of session is you just get to be yourself! But if you have insecurities or just want some direction, I've got you! For lifestyle photos I will tell you where to go, where to look, and adjust things like hair and posture and we can use angles and tricks to mask any areas you'd rather not highlight. For documentary you're typically so busy with the activity that you forget I'm there, and that's the way we want it!
Do you know how to handle a baby?
Yes I do! I do a lot of it and I take safety very seriously! I've been doing this for close to 10 years and have 2 children of my own. But remember, we're not posing Baby, so we aren't typically putting them in any positions they wouldn't normally be in. I also don't handle your baby the entire time - usually mainly at the beginning when I'm wrapping and positioning them for details shots. My wrapping technique is very safe and babies usually love it and settle right down and take a nap. And the rest of the time they'll be in your arms!
How much should I expect to invest?
Every family's story is different, and my sessions are all about creating something personal and lasting. This is a full-service approach for families who want a hands-on, customized process—from capturing meaningful moments to designing custom wall art that fits beautifully in your home. Most families invest in a selection of images and artwork that brings their story to life, with options tailored to what matters most to them. Pricing varies depending on what you choose, and I’m happy to walk you through what’s included so you can decide what feels right for your family.
