For all the things my hands have held the best by far is you.
We all have our own stories for welcoming a new little blessing but one thing that remains the same is that if you are here, you want to capture this beautiful time with your newborn.
I would love to help you do just that with either a intimate and at home lifestyle session or in my studio for posing and embracing.
Baby Safety Certified.
Did you know there is no certification to be a newborn photographer or to photograph a newborn?
That means some can go buy a camera and start advertising as a newborn photographer without anything stopping them or any education/experience/certification. Yet a baby is so delicate and so many poses, swaddles and ways you move as a photographer can be dangerous if not trained correctly.
Now if I am being honest it's not something I really put much thought into. I worked in childcare for 5+ years, was a nanny, raised 3 babies and feel pretty confident with newborns... But thanks to an awesome community and research, I have learned the importance of education and all I need to do for this area to be a professional and move forward.
With that I share I received training from a professional photographer of 25 years and educator, Ana Brandt. I am officially certified in baby safety for photography. This covers education on my studio, posing, overheating, umbilical cord care, newborn health and so much more.

When should a newborn session take place?
I recommend doing newborn pictures within the first 2 weeks and in the morning. Circumstances can of course change this, but for most, this is the best time frame.
Newborn Session time and days:
I ONLY DO NEWBORNS ON WEEKDAYS WITH A START TIME OF NORMALLY 9 OR 10.
Family Shots:
Children are allowed during family portion but I ask min. people and no children during posing time. This allows for a calm atmosphere and movement in the studio.
What should we expect for a studio session?
When you join me for a studio session, please take this time to unwind a little. I recommend feeding the baby prior to our session and while you relax, I will handle your sweet blessing with the greatest of care while capturing all the sweetness. I have a yoga ball to lightly bounce when comfort is needed, a noise machine, a posing swaddle to mimic the tightness of a womb and more.
Also, we can also do parents or family in studio and this can be done in-between the posing as needed according to babies schedule.
What information should be given before the session?
I want this session to be everything you envisioned. In order to do that, I would love to know any information you find important about your birthing journey and babies arrival.
-Jaundice
-Complications
-Important info on the baby.
-If you had a c-section
-Babies sleep schedule
-Nursing or Bottles
-Etc.
