There is something extraordinary about bringing your baby home for the first time.
The tiny fingers. The sleepy stretches. The way they fit perfectly into your arms. The overwhelming love you feel when you look at the little person who has changed everything.
Your baby will never be this small again.
And while beautiful portraits of your newborn are incredibly special, I believe the most meaningful images are often the ones that include you.
The way your baby curls into your chest. The way your partner looks at them. Big brother or sister holding their tiny hand. The quiet moments of connection that, years from now, will transport you right back to this season of your life.
That is why my newborn sessions focus so much on family.
More Than a Newborn Photo Session
When you book a newborn session with me, you aren't booking a predetermined collection of poses.
You're creating an experience that is uniquely yours.
Every family is different, and I want your photographs to reflect that.
Maybe you envision an intimate, editorial portrait of your entire family together. Maybe you want something soft and timeless. Perhaps you want beautifully styled portraits of your baby alongside classic family photographs.
Or maybe you have something completely different in mind.
Tell me.
I love creating photographs around what you want.
Your session can be elegant and refined, playful and full of personality, intimate and emotional, or a beautiful combination of all of it. I guide you throughout the experience while leaving room for the moments that happen naturally.
The goal isn't simply to create pretty photographs.
It's to create photographs that feel like your family.
The Family Images Matter Most
Years from now, you may not remember exactly how tiny your baby's toes were.
But you will remember how it felt to hold them.
You will see the photograph of your newborn tucked against your chest and remember the weight of them in your arms. You'll see your partner looking down at your baby and remember the overwhelming emotion of becoming parents. You'll see siblings together and remember the beginning of their relationship.
Those are the photographs that become heirlooms.
I want you to have the beautiful portraits of your baby, of course—but I also want you to exist in these memories.
Because your children deserve photographs of the people who loved them first.
Your Vision Comes First
Before your session, we talk about what you're envisioning.
What do you love?
What do you want displayed in your home?
Do you prefer neutral, timeless imagery? Do you want something more fashion-forward and editorial? Are there specific family combinations or photographs you've always dreamed of having?
I'll take all of that into consideration when designing your session.
Because This Season Doesn't Last
The newborn stage is beautifully fleeting.
The tiny outfits eventually get packed away. The late nights become a distant memory. Those little fingers grow into hands that reach for independence.
But your photographs remain.
I want you to be able to look at your newborn portraits decades from now and still feel the emotion of that day.
I want your children to grow up seeing themselves surrounded by the people who loved them most.
And I want the artwork hanging in your home to feel just as beautiful and meaningful as the memories themselves.
Your newborn session should never feel like simply checking something off a list.
It should feel like an experience worth remembering.
And when you see your finished images, I want you to think:
This is us.
