Maternity

The best time to photograph your growing bump is when you are between 30-35 weeks of pregnancy.  Each session is personalized so that it is as unique as you are.  Your session will include 2-4 different outfits.  Not sure what to wear? We have an amazing client maternity wardrobe with over 70 looks to choose from!  Offering a variety of styles, colors, & sizes you are sure to find something you will love for your session.  You are more than welcome to bring your own wardrobe pieces as well.

The maternity session can be done in the studio, on location, or a combination of both.  These sessions typically last 1-2 hours ensuring you are comfortable throughout. 

During your maternity session your partner and children are more than welcome to join in. I will guide you through a series of poses designed specifically for pregnancy to create beautiful images for you and your family to cherish for years to come.

Newborns

The best time to photograph a newborn baby is within the first 5-14 days of life.  With that being said, mom & baby's health always comes first!  We have photographed newborns at all stages with great success. Contact us at any time during your pregnancy with your due date to tentatively book your newborn session. Once you and baby arrive home from the hospital, you can contact me to arrange an exact time and day for your session.

For your newborn session plan on being at the studio for 3-4 hours.  Babies can be unpredictable so I allow plenty of time to ensure a stress free session for both mom & baby.  Everything you need during your session will be provided for you.  We have a fully stocked studio of outfits, accessories, & props.  Newborn sessions can be held in studio, in your home, or a combo of studio & outside (March - October ... weather permitting).

While the focus of this session is on your newborn, parents and siblings are welcome during the beginning portion of the session.  We do ask that siblings leave after their pictures are done so they do not get bored or cranky while we continue the remaining portion of the session.  We realize this isn't always feasible and will accommodate your needs accordingly.

Safety First

During your session, you will get to sit and relax while I work my magic with your little one and you will get to see why my clients call me the baby whisperer.  Creating beautiful images of your newborn is not a quick process, because of this we run on baby time.  Safety first is used at all times.  Newborn Photography requires special props, equipment, training & lots of patience.  I am a trained professional and understand this baby is the love of your life. I will never force you or your baby into a pose that is unsafe. Everything we use for your newborn during the session is clean and all items are washed with baby safe products to help prevent any allergic reactions.   

 After your photo session, we will set up a date for you to view/order your images within 7-10 days after your session.

3-9 Months Old

 Each of your baby’s milestones brings forth so many new & wonderful things.  From sitting up to taking that first step these milestone sessions are sure to capture your ever changing baby. 

Sessions are 1-2 hours depending on what your baby wants to do. Sessions can be in studio or on location, weather permitting.

3 months ~ These sessions are best scheduled once baby can do a little tummy time and holding their head up. We have a small selection of outfits for boys & girls at this age in our client closet.

6 months ~ These sessions are best scheduled once baby is sitting unassisted.  If baby is not quite there yet we will place them in props that help safely sit them up.  Our client closet is stocked full of outfits for these sitter sessions for both boys and girls!

9 months ~ These sessions are best scheduled once baby is standing up holding on to items such as low lying furniture.  Our client closet is stocked full of outfits for these sitter sessions for both boys and girls!  If scheduling this session outdoors we do recommend to bring some type of soft soled shoes for your little one.

1st Year

Now that you’ve made it through a year of baby’s milestones, it’s time to party!

A 1st Birthday Cake Smash Session is the perfect way to capture all the excitement of the past twelve months. Why do a cake smash session? —the SMASH! The messier, the better!  We start with 2-3 non-birthday set ups and then we dive into the cake smash portion of your session.

When you schedule your session we will discuss the cake smash theme / color scheme you’d like for your photos.  Some themes require new prop purchases so please book at least one month prior. Once we decide on a theme, I will work with a favorite local bakery to create a yummy as well as picture perfect cake that matches your theme. Worried about having a messy baby? No need to worry, we have wipes and warm wash cloths to help with clean up!
