newborn sessions

I love to create images that capture the beauty of a baby’s first days, a period so special and fleeting. I aim to highlight the precious details that are unique to your little one at this time, with a style that is gentle and natural. My images are filled with soft colors and light, natural fibers and texture.

It is very important to me to understand your goals and to carefully plan your baby’s session before I photograph your session so we can create images that you will love. I select the best images from the session to prepare in my personal editing style.  I limit the number of sessions that I schedule each month so that I can be fully attentive to every step as I create your portraits.

It’s never too early to schedule a newborn session. Scheduling your session at least a couple of months before your baby is born will ensure that I can photograph your baby in the ideal timeframe of 5-12 days after birth.

This year, I am offering two newborn session options. The Classic Newborn Session is the popular full-length session that I have offered for years. The Petite Newborn Session is new shorter session focused on baby.
