Every year, I leave thinking, “How did we possibly get anything usable with our little toddler tornadoes running around?” But somehow, every single time, she delivers absolute magic.
She has a gift for giving clear direction on posing while keeping everything light, fun, and effortless.

Fifty years from now, you might not remember every detail of these busy, joy-filled days—the goofy expressions, the messy hair, the way your kids clung to your leg or raced ahead without looking back. These moments feel big now, but they pass faster than we ever expect.
Your session isn’t about perfection—it’s about personalities, connection, and the little quirks that make your family unmistakably yours!
I’m here to document all of it so you can walk past those photos on your walls years from now and instantly remember who your kids were in this season: the expressions, the energy, the softness, the chaos. The good stuff. The real stuff.
Your family's story deserves to be documented beautifully.

Pregnancy is such a fleeting, extraordinary chapter, and my favorite part of photographing maternity sessions is capturing the quiet magic that often gets overlooked. I’m drawn to the effortless moments—the soft gestures, growing curves, and the quiet anticipation that fills the air as you wait to meet your baby. These photos are meant to feel natural, honest, and beautifully you.
Whether this is your very first little one or the fifth time your family is growing, I’m here to help you remember the very best parts of this season. From choosing a location that feels meaningful to offering gentle prompts that help you relax into the moment, I’ll guide you every step of the way so you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
Your maternity session isn’t about perfection—it’s about connection. It’s about celebrating where you are right now, honoring your incredible body, and creating images that bring you right back to this life-changing chapter every time you look at them.

What I Offer:
Welcoming a new baby is one of the most emotional, transformative moments in your life, and my approach to newborn sessions is centered around preserving that tenderness. I want your photos to feel soft, effortless, and rooted in the love you already have for your baby. The quiet snuggles, tiny details, and sweet in-between moments.
I create a calm, relaxed environment where you never need to worry about “posing” or keeping your baby on a schedule. I follow their cues, move slowly, and give your family time to settle in naturally. Whether this is your first experience in the newborn bubble or you’re welcoming another sweet addition to your crew, I’m here to document the beauty in the chaos, the sweetness in the stillness, and everything in between.
These images become heirlooms—visual love letters that take you right back to the earliest days of holding your baby close. My goal is to create photos that feel timeless, deeply emotional, and perfectly true to this fleeting season.
Newborn Package
Family sessions with me are all about connection, play, and documenting your story exactly as it is—beautiful, imperfect, and full of personality. I don't bring strict expectations, because that’s where the most meaningful photos come from. Your session will be filled with laughter, movement, cuddles, and moments you’ll want to remember long after your little ones are grown.
Each session is thoughtfully crafted to capture the heart of your family—your connection, your joy, your story. These photos aren’t just pictures; they’re your legacy, preserved one meaningful moment at a time.
