With 28 years of experience working with children and families in healthcare, I bring a blend of skills to my photography. My passion for photography, and expertise in working with children ensures a safe experience for your baby and family. Thus, I am calm and patient in every every session so you can relax and enjoy the session. But I always remember baby is boss! Whether it’s your first baby or your fourth, I understand how to guide you through the family session, ensuring the experience is positive for the whole family.
Preparing for your Session
One of the keys to a successful photography session is preparation. To help you feel confident and ready, I provide each family with a preparation guide for your session. This guide includes tips on:
- What to Wear: Suggestions for outfits that complement each other and photograph beautifully.
- Timing: Newborn poses are most successful in the first three weeks of life, but beautiful images can be taken at any time. My goal is to schedule your session when the time is right for you.
- What to Bring: Essentials for your baby and helpful items to keep everyone comfortable.
- Session Expectations: Describes the flow of the session and how to keep your baby calm and happy.



Why Choose a Professional Photographer for Your Newborn
Newborn photography is an art that requires technical skill, patience, and understanding of babies and their needs. It’s truly a combination of art and technology. My background allows me to safely pose your little one in gentle, natural positions to create images that capture their personality. In addition, I also love including family heirlooms to add a personal touch to your photos. With every detail planned, you can focus on enjoying this special moment with your family.
A Lifetime of Memories
Your newborn’s first images will become some of your most treasured possessions. From tiny fingers and toes to sleepy smiles, these photos will take you back to those early days, even years down the road. Including your family in the session truly creates the beautiful story of the love that surrounds your newest addition.
