Family & Newborn Photography

09/03/2026

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. 🤍

I’m officially completely booked for outdoor sessions for the rest of the year, and I truly never take that for granted.

So many of you come back year after year & trust me to document your families as you grow and change. Getting to watch your families grow through my camera is one of the greatest gifts of this job.

Thank you for choosing me, supporting me, sharing my name with your friends and family, and allowing me to be a small part of your family’s story. It means more to me than you know.

If you were hoping for an outdoor family session but missed out this year, I’ll be running my Black Friday sale again in November. That will be your chance to grab an outdoor session for next year!

Thank you, truly, for another incredible year. I never take for granted that I get to call this my “job.” 🤍

Your toddler does not need to “cooperate” for your newborn session!

I’m not expecting them to sit perfectly, smile on command, or lovingly stare at their new sibling for five minutes straight.

Sometimes I need them in one spot for approximately three seconds, and then we move on 😅

We play, we take breaks, we follow their lead, and somewhere in the middle of all of that, we get moments like these.

So if the thought of bringing your toddler to your newborn session stresses you out… please don’t let it.

One less thing for you to worry about when you book a family session: what to wear.

For this session, the girls’ dresses, their hat, and even Dad’s shirt all came from the client closet.
I love being able to help pull everything together so your family looks coordinated without looking overly matched.. and you can spend less time stressing about what everyone is going to wear.

Newborn lashes so perfect they deserve their own post 🥹

Somehow these little details are the easiest to forget but the ones you want to remember forever 🤍

One of the best parts of newborn sessions?
You really don’t have to come in knowing what to do.
Especially with your first baby, there’s already so much to think about. What to wear, how to hold baby, how to pose... that’s where I come in.
I will guide you through it, and with a client closet for both moms AND dads, I’ve got the wardrobe part covered too.
You just show up with your baby. I’ll take it from there.

One of my favorite things about this session was photographing this family in a room where images from one of our sessions years ago are still hanging on their walls.
Their family has changed so much since those photos were taken, but those memories still get to be part of their everyday life.
That's why I'll always love seeing your photos become more than something that lives on your phone. Years pass. Babies grow. Families change.
But the photos on your walls get to grow right along with you. 🤍

Personality portraits are exactly what they sound like.. a chance to capture your kid exactly as they are right now.
Bring the lollipop. The favorite hat. The toy they carry everywhere. Apparently even the screw gun. 😅
The things they’re obsessed with right now might feel ordinary, but someday they’ll be the details you miss the most.
My next Personality Portrait event is September 13th and I still have a few spots available!

One thing that makes my newborn sessions a little different is my background before photography.
Before becoming a full-time photographer, I spent more than 15 years caring for children, including 9 years as a pediatric nurse practitioner.
That experience taught me how to read babies.
Sometimes a baby is hungry.
Sometimes it’s gas.
Sometimes it’s reflux.
Sometimes they don’t like lying completely flat.
Sometimes they simply need a different position or a few extra minutes
Every baby communicates differently, and over the years I’ve learned to recognize those little cues.

Of course, babies still surprise me sometimes.. they’re tiny humans with big personalities! But I’ve learned to stay patient, work through each possibility, and let baby lead the session.
That’s one of the reasons I’ve never had to reschedule a newborn session because a baby “wouldn’t cooperate.”
I simply meet them where they are 🤍

Personality Portraits are LIVE! 🤍

My next Personality Portrait event is September 13th at my studio in Monkton!

They change so quickly.

The missing teeth.
The little smirks.
The favorite lovey.
The expressions you never want to forget.

That's why I love Personality Portraits!! They capture your kiddo simply being a kid and their genuine personality.

✨ Booking opens TOMORROW morning (Friday, August 7) for my email list first! If you're on my list, be sure to check your email. Any remaining spots will open to everyone else afterwards.

I only offer these events a few times each year, and spots are limited. If you've been thinking about updating the portraits in your home or preserving this stage before it changes again, I'd love to photograph your little one.

Who's excited? 🤍
