Your family's journey is worth remembering!
Every new curve, every loose tooth, every scratch, scar, and bruise tells your growing family's story; let me help you document it. These small, ordinary details can be so easy to overlook, but they are what make life extraordinary!
The curve of your belly, the soft glow of your skin, and the quiet connection you already share with your baby deserve to be remembered in a way that feels personal. The beauty of your body as it transforms to nourish and protect new life deserves to be remembered. This is more than a fleeting moment—it's the beginning of a profound story.
Sessions are available on location, in home, or in studio where I can document the enormous amount of love you and your partner already have for the little baby growing inside of you. If you have other kids they're more then welcome to come & join in on ALL the snuggles! Pets are also welcome at outdoor and in home sessions.
Your journey is extraordinary, and these photos will become a visual love letter to this transformative chapter of your life!

Life with children is a blur of sticky fingers, belly laughs, and tender moments tucked between the chaos. It's in the way they crinkle their nose when they smile, the way they run to you for comfort, the way their laughter fills the air like music. These moments are here now, but they won't stay forever. Let's turn them into something timeless — something you can hold in your hands when the years feel too far away.
Sessions are available on location, in home, or in studio where I can document those fleeting moments for you to hold close, forever. If you have pets, they are also more than welcome to join us at outdoor and in home sessions.
Someday, you'll look back and wonder how time moved so quickly—how the chubby fingers became steady hands, how the endless giggles became quite nostalgia. I want to capture it all—the beauty, the laughter, the chaos—allowing you to preserve this moment in time & keep it close.

Meeting your newborn—whether your first or last— is a whirlwind of emotions. Pure love, overwhelming joy, and exhaustion all collide, but the moment you hold them close, everything else fades away. Tears spill as you take in their tiny fingers, their soft breaths, the weight of a whole new world in your arms. It's all so new, so fleeting, and in an instant, those first precious moments become memories you'll cherish forever—let me be there to capture those moments for you.
Sessions are available on location, in home, or in studio where I can be to preserve the moments that pass to quickly. I often recommend in home sessions for newborns, as it provides a calming experience for your little one and also allows for beautiful images. My newborn sessions unfold over 90 minutes to 2 hours, tailored to your chosen package. This allows us the luxury of time—embracing every need, every moment, and every tiny yawn—ensuring a calm and unhurried experience for you and your little one. If you have pets, they are also more than welcome to join us at outdoor and in home sessions.
Newborn photos freeze the delicate beauty of your baby's first day's, when every wrinkle, yawn, and soft stretch tells a story of boundless love. These images become timeless treasures, preserving the fleeting magic of those moments that pass in the blink of an eye.

Cake smash sessions capture the magic of a child's first indulgence into the world of sweetness. It's the moment their tiny hands first press into the soft, frosting-covered layers, their eyes lighting up with pure curiosity and delight. The joy is contagious as their fingers become coated in a sugary mess, and the innocence of their laughter fills the air. Each smeared smile and frosting-covered cheek tells a story of unfiltered happiness—a timeless memory, captured in the beauty of a child's first taste of cake.
Sessions are available in studio, on location, or in home. However, I highly recommend choosing an in-studio or on-location session, where I’ll handle all the cleanup, allowing you to sit back, relax, and enjoy watching your little one have a blast! With my Premium package, you'll enjoy a customized cake and balloons tailored for your session. If you opt for the Standard package, you still have the option to add on cake and balloons, making it easier for families to create the perfect celebration!
The joyful celebration of a childhood milestone, your baby's first birthday deserves to be remembered. Every messy moment, from the frosting-covered fingers to giggles, captures the innocence and joy of this unforgettable milestone.

FAQ
What happens if my kids misbehave?
Don't worry about it too much, kid's
What is the best time for a session?
For outdoor sessions, lighting is usually best in the late afternoon or early evening hours right before sunset. That golden hour lighting is quite beautiful as long as the weather permits. I also love an overcast sky, so no matter what, we can make it work! I completely understand that this time isn't practical for all families. After you inquire, we will discuss these details and find a time that works best for your family!
Where should we have our session?
Your family session can take place outdoors, in home, in my studio, or maybe you want to rent a studio you like. If you aren't sure where you'd like to pick as your location, I am more than happy to help. During my consultation prior to booking, I will chat with you about some of my favorite locations in the area we could plan your family session for!
Can I still book one of these family packages if my kids aren't little anymore?
Of course! No matter the age of your children, I'd love to welcome them into our session! If your children have children of their own, please let me know and I can inform you of my extended family packages!
What happens in the event of rain
If your session is scheduled for outdoors, I'll be watching the weather forecast the day of our session. If it looks like it will rain, I will be in touch via text or email and make the decision whether or not to postpone. I like to wait as late as possible to actually postpone because stormy skies right after or before rain are absolutely gorgeous, so if it’s not raining, we will be out there shooting! In the case of any postponement, I will try to accommodate your session as soon as my schedule allows.
