AUTHENTIC NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY FOR REAL LIFE
“My house is a mess, I’m exhausted, and my baby won’t stop crying. We aren't the 'perfect' family for photos.”
— SAID JUST ABOUT EVERY PARENT I’VE PHOTOGRAPHED BEFORE THEIR SESSION WITH ME.
If you’re looking at these photos and thinking, 'my house could never,' let me stop you right there.
As a mom of four, I know the postpartum fog isn't tidy. That’s why I offer the best of both worlds, in-home sessions where we celebrate your real life exactly as it is (laundry piles and all), or studio sessions where you can escape the housework and let me handle the backdrop.
No perfection required. From one mom to another, let go of the expectations and just be yourself. I’ll take care of the rest.
Because you deserve to be in the frame, too.
Newborn Photography for Real Life
Your Session, Your Comfort Zone
Whether we’re at the hospital for a Fresh 48, snuggled on your sofa, or in a dedicated studio space, my goal is the same: to make this the easiest part of your week.
The "No-Stress" Rule:
At Home: Leave your house exactly as it is. No cleaning, no hiding the laundry. I’m there to document your real life, and as a mom of four, I promise I’ve seen it all. Give me one window and a sliver of light, and I’ll take it from there. I’m an expert at framing out the chaos so that in your gallery, the clutter disappears and only the connection remains.
In Studio: If the thought of opening your front door feels like too much, let me provide the space. I’ll send over a curated list of local studio options, ranging from minimalist white-walled spaces to stunning designer homes available for rent. I handle the booking and logistics; you just show up and focus on your baby.
From the NICU to your living room, I’m honored to capture the skin-to-skin moments and the postpartum fog that you’ll want to remember forever.
A glimpse into those first few days
Your story, exactly as it is.
Come as you are. The mess, the quiet, and everything in between. From the first email to the moment you see your gallery, I’m here to make sure you feel seen, supported, and completely at ease.

I’ll send you a full styling guide to help you choose comfortable, timeless pieces that look great in any light. You’re also always able to text me outfit selections and I can help you coordinate what goes well together.

Don’t worry about 'knowing what to do' with your hands or where to look. While I will absolutely guide you into flattering light and comfortable positions, my style is less about stiff posing and more about honest interaction.
I want you to focus on smelling your baby’s head, whispering to your toddler, and just enjoying your family. I’ll send over a comprehensive PDF guide before our session that walks you through exactly how to prepare for this relaxed approach.

Don't sweat it. I’m a mom of four; I have a black belt in soothing babies. We will take all the breaks we need.

Tiny toes, curious toddlers, and all the magic in between.
You don’t need a Pinterest-perfect nursery or a sleeping baby to get beautiful photos. I’m here to capture the quiet snuggles, the tiny details, and the way your family naturally fits together in this new chapter.
You are what matters most in these photos.
When you look at my portfolio, you’ll notice that babies aren’t always sleeping and parents aren’t always looking at me. There’s a reason for that. I want you to be present in the chaos and the quiet of your new life, not staring into a camera lens.
I’ll take care of the rest.

You handle the snuggles, I’ll handle the storytelling. I’m honored to be the one to freeze these fleeting moments for you. Let’s get you on the calendar!
