New Life: The First Year


From the Announcements after that first positive test to Baby's First Birthday - there are so many milestones you don't want to forget. Let me help you capture those sweet moments to cherish forever. I love watching your little ones grow, so ask me about my Grow with Me Discount plan when you bundle multiple sessions!


Announcements

Eeeek—baby on the way?! Let’s make it official with joyful, heart-melting photos you’ll be excited to share! Choose Studio (clean & classic), Lifestyle (cozy at home), or Outdoors (golden glow)—I’ll guide gentle posing, outfits, and simple props like ultrasound photos, tiny shoes, or a letterboard. Sessions are quick, relaxed, and totally you! Your gallery arrives beautifully edited and share-ready for social + perfectly sized for printed cards. Let’s celebrate your sweetest beginning—confetti feelings guaranteed!


Maternity

Glowing season, coming right up! Whether you’re dreaming of clean studio classics, golden outdoor romance, or cozy lifestyle moments at home, we’ll design a maternity session that feels exactly like you—mama solo, parents, or the whole family welcome! Go simple or themed, casual or full-on glam; add wings or a dreamy milk bath if that’s your vibe. I’ll guide flattering, bump-friendly posing, help with outfits and styling, and keep everything relaxed and joy-filled. With flexible time, image, and budget options, it’s easy to build your perfect session. Most mamas love booking around 28–32 weeks for peak bump and comfort—whatever your dream, we can make it happen!

Fresh48


Baby’s here—what a beautiful whirlwind! Fresh48 captures those once-in-a-lifetime first hours: tiny yawns, wrinkly toes, hospital bracelets, name card, and your very first family snuggles. Photographed in your hospital, birth center, or at home within the first 24–48 hours, these sessions are calm, baby-led, and documentary in feel—no complex posing or bright lights, just soft, true-to-life storytelling. I’ll guide you through simple poses, keep things relaxed and efficient, and include parents and siblings (and grandparents if your location allows). We’ll pencil in your due month, and when baby arrives, just send a quick text to lock the time. With flexible time, image, and budget options, you’ll receive a beautifully edited, share-ready gallery—an emotional keepsake that pairs perfectly with a full newborn session later!


Newborn


My happy place is the studio—and it’s fully stocked with beautiful backdrops, curated props, cozy wraps, and everything we need to create soft, timeless portraits you’ll adore! Choose your look—posed, wrapped, or natural—and decide who’s included: baby only, siblings, or the whole family. Sessions are baby-led and calm, with plenty of time for feeds and snuggles, and you pick the pace—from 1 to 4 hours—so everyone stays comfy. For classic, sleepy, posed images, I recommend scheduling between 7–20 days after birth; if you prefer a relaxed story-at-home vibe, I also offer lifestyle sessions that are lovely throughout the first month. Safety is always first, styling and gentle posing are fully guided, and your finished gallery is polished and ready to print and share—sweet, simple, and perfectly you!


Milestones


From first giggles to sitters to little standers—let’s celebrate every leap between newborn and the big ONE! My most-loved stops are 3 • 6 • 9 months (think tummy-time smiles, wobbly sitters, and pull-up pride). Choose Studio for clean, classic portraits, Outdoors for playful golden light, or Lifestyle for cozy, at-home moments. Go themed (simple sets, seasonal touches, or a favorite color) or unthemed and minimal—either way, sessions are baby-led, relaxed, and fun with gentle prompts, simple props, and room for a quick outfit change. Parents and siblings are welcome to hop in for a few frames, and you can book short & sweet or a little longer with flexible time, image, and budget options!

First Birthday


One whole year—let’s party! Start with sweet, clean portraits and then bring on the fun: cake smash and an optional splash session to rinse and giggle it out. We can keep it simple and minimal or go full themed with multiple sets—colors, props, and backdrop design tailored to your vision. Choose studio for polished, picture-perfect setups or outdoor for airy, playful vibes. I’ll handle the planning, setup, and cleanup—your little one brings the smiles! Opt for a quick highlight or the full celebration with set changes, and you’ll receive a beautifully edited gallery ready to share and print.
