Welcome to the world baby K! It was an honor to take photos for this beautiful growing family. Enjoy these shots of this precious newborn! He was a champ during his session. His session took place in the comfort of his own home. I bring the studio to you. Everything is sanitized before each session. I wash all the blankets and outfits i use during the session.
Children have a way of throwing us for a loop even before birth! Surprise pregnancies, unexpected multiples or genders, and self-determined due dates are just a few ways our babies keep us on our toes. They certainly make life interesting!
All the same, every parent should have a chance to capture those first few weeks of life with their sweet new bundle (or bundles!) of joy regardless of how and when they make their appearance! I can bring the studio to you or you could come to my home studio, whichever is more convenient for you.
Wait a Little Longer
The typical time frame for newborn portraits is 1-2 weeks after birth. But of course, the timeline for preemies is a bit different. With babies who just can’t wait to see the world, we push their session out a bit closer to their actual due date. They’ll have time to get acclimated and grow a bit (maybe add on a few adorable baby rolls!), which will make for a happier baby and better photos.
Let Baby Determine the Schedule
As a preemie, your little one already knows how to take charge. Your petite one ignored that due date and came on his or her own time, after all. So, during the session, we build in time to rest, snack, and get settled.
Immaculate Conditions
Because your little one’s immune system is still developing, we take great care in creating a clean, sterilized environment to the best of our ability. Everything is wiped down and washed between sessions, and we adhere to careful hand washing/sanitizing practices throughout the shoot. No germs here!
Continual Support
Since all newborns, not just preemies, lack neck control, we offer support throughout every pose. No creative pose is worth putting baby at risk. Our highest priority is keeping baby’s airway open, neck supported, and temperature regulated. Baby’s comfort and safety is crucial!
Meet V. he was two months old when i photographed him. He was the perfect model for his preemie newborn session. I set up the studio in the comfort of his home so that the baby wouldn’t have to leave and be exposed to all the germs.
Here are some of my favorites from his session.
It’s true. There is a preferred age when photographing a newborn. And there are some photographers that will only photograph a baby during those few weeks. But guess what? I know life can get in the way. And while pictures of your baby are certainly a priority for many, I completely understand why they get delayed … or forgotten. I am more than happy to photograph your new baby at any age. Older newborn photos can be just as beautiful as pictures you might have taken right after your new bundle arrived. I will tell any potential client that I prefer the baby to be under 3 weeks of age. And I do tend to find that these younger babies do best at their portrait sessions. However, there are always exceptions to the rule so if you’re questioning anything, please feel free to reach out and we can discuss your specific situation. As long as everyone has the right expectations, then photographing your baby at any age can result in photos you will cherish forever.
The perfect example of an older newborn is sweet C. below. Mom really wanted images of her sweet little one but due to covid she had to wait a few weeks. Baby C. was 8 weeks of age. Not an age I shoot a lot of since it’s right in between my two standard milestone sessions (newborn and 4 months). He was, for the most part, out of that curly, sleepy newborn stage. But wouldn’t you know it, he gave us that perfect mix of wrapped shots and wide-eyed awake shots. There are so many portraits that I love from his session! His mom loved the toilet paper image the best. How cute is it that she has his initial put on the toilet paper to remember the time when he was born during a pandemic.
So don’t hesitate to contact me if you’re considering older newborn photos of your baby … not matter the age. We can chat about your wishes and your baby’s current stage and figure out what would work best for you. I’d love to be a little part of this amazing adventure you’re on!

Cake Smash sessions are so much fun. Some kids smile a bunch, some are super serious, some cry, some do a mixture of all three, but watching kids try cake for the first time is really and enjoyable time no mater how they react to the cake. Seeing their reaction to their cake smash session is so much fun and can make mom and dad really laugh during their session. I brought the studio to Miss K. for her 1-year cake smash session she was very serious and so adorable. I mean, her facial expressions and beautiful eyes were amazing!

I love the theme Where the Wild Things Are for a newborn session! It is so perfect for little boys. It was so much fun putting together this setup. Little G. was such a great sleeper for his session. His three older siblings just loved on him and was so adorable.

Whoa, gorgeous MaMa! Capturing K. maternity session at my home studio is quite a treat because not only do I get to spend time with a glowing mama, but we also with different outfits. Bonus: In a few weeks I’ll get to snuggle her new baby! Maternity sessions are such an important way to document this huge milestone in your life. Glowing mama and growing family! Your littles will want to look back on these moments, and your photographs will show them just how excited the family was for their arrival.

I’ll help you select a location – in your home or outdoors – and outfits! This process is meant to be FUN and EASY, so I’ll hold your hand! What are you waiting for?!
I first met Meg at Panera to discuss my idea of birth photography and newborn photography . We hit it off and she signed the contract right there. We chatted via email a few times and discussed the type of birth photography she envisioned. Meg was scheduled to be induced on the 10th of April. So, being on call was much easier since I knew what day I would be photographing her birth. She was admitted into the hospital around 7 a.m., she was 4 cm. and they broke her water. I figured since it was a induction this would take a while even though this was her second pregnancy. Needless to say she was a rock star and delivered her baby only 3.5 hrs after being admitted into the hospital. I can share a few great images from the birth.
I look forward to photographing little W. next week for his posed newborn photography session.
A beautiful early morning for a fall family session. The colors were gorgeous and so was the family.

Welcome Flint earth side. He was such a sweet newborn. His parents love Indian Jones so i tried to incorporate a brown hat into a few of the images. Flint was so handsome.
Sweet Everleigh is now six months old! She was one of my newborn clients. I really enjoy seeing the babies when they reach a new milestone in life and sitting up is just one of them! She was chalk full of smiles and proud of her new skill. I think you will see in her images! These sessions are short and sweet and we get an amazing variety of pictures from them. Contact me if you are interested in a custom sitter session for your little sitter!
Oh, Miss Aditi, 10 days new and just ! This sweet girl breezed through her sessions and owned each setup I custom designed just for her. The neutrals with a mix of soft girl colors brought out her beautiful complexion. Aditi was a posing natural!
“Enjoy the little things in life, Because one day you will look back And realize they were the big things.”
Newborn sessions hold a special place in our heart. The ridiculous amount of love and happiness that fills the home always brings back a flood of memories of our own special time. There’s nothing more exciting than a brand new bundle of joy, and despite the lack of sleep and endless diaper changes, everyone is in awe of this sweet little bundle of joy.
