Each time I visit a client home for newborn photos, my hearts swells. Inside their "nest" is a new soul and a family that is adjusting to the gigantic shift that comes with this new 6 to 10 pound (give or take) presence. I still marvel at how we all start out so tiny. My goal is to make everyone feel at ease and calm during a newborn session, which takes place within the first week of birth. It's not to be rushed. We will chat during baby feedings, talk about the birthing experience, and swoon over the snuggled bundle. By the end, I will snap over 700 photos (and replace numerous pacifiers). The result is priceless!
Thanks to Raelin's Mom and Dad for the hands-on assistance!

As a photographer, I am honored to capture these special moments with a new baby. As a mother, I know how these photos will be cherished. Our oldest baby inspired my journey behind the camera and now at 11 years old, he's almost as tall as me. I need a time-machine!
Time truly flies and I love giving families a chance to reflect on the "pause" of time that these photos allow. Welcome to the world, sweet babies, and congrats to your families!
Welcome, Baby Jonathan! See their maternity session below.
