As a mom, I know how quickly those early days fly by. One moment you’re holding your breath, wondering if you’re cradling your baby the right way, and the next they’re already crawling. Maybe this is your first baby, or maybe you’re juggling two kids and a dog — either way, when you’re deep in parenting, it’s easy to forget to take photos. Your babies grow so fast. Let me help you remember them in those early days.

You soak in the newborn cuddles, & I’ll quietly document it all. I’ll give gentle direction when needed, but most of the magic happens in the in-between moments: the tiny toes, soft yawns, and real connection.

We’re not here to rush. Feedings, diaper changes, snuggles — we take breaks as needed. My pace follows your baby’s needs, not the clock. Comfort and calm come first.

Parenting is already a full-time job, planning photos shouldn’t feel like one too. I’ll help with location ideas, outfit tips, & everything in between, so you can just show up + enjoy the moment.
Easy, Stress-Free Planning
My Approach
Newborn sessions are relaxed, baby-led, and focused on connection. No stiff poses, baskets, or studio lights — just your real life, unfolding in the comfort of your home. We keep things slow, soft, and flexible so everyone (especially baby) feels at ease.

• Up to 90 minutes of coverage in your home
• Style guidance for you and baby (2–3 outfit changes)
• A prep guide to get your space photo-ready
• Swaddle help, bottle breaks, and even dog wrangling
• Unlimited planning support and communication
• Online gallery with 50 high-resolution, edited images
• Discount on maternity sessions when booked together
