YOU’RE PARENTS!
Welcoming a new baby into your family is an incredible experience. Your body is tired; you are filled with emotion- exhaustion, love, excitement, anxiety.
And the world is a beautiful, messy blur.
those first days though…
The world is a beautiful, messy blur in those first days.
Your body is worn and tired, but your heart and soul are full and bursting.
You study those new baby details- the curve of their lip, the tiny eye lashes, the wrinkly fingers and tiny toes, the poof of hair (or lack thereof).
All of those details that you dreamt about for so many months. Those first moments breast feeding or learning to swaddle deserve a permanent place in your memories through these sessions.
Why you should book this session
When I gave birth to my first child, it did not go swimmingly to say the least. After 25 hours, I needed a c-section to safely bring my child into the world. My body was raw and worn, and the world was spinning. I had dreams of photographing my baby, but I had no desire and my body could barely move. I wish I had hired someone to capture those first moments.
I didn’t make that mistake twice.
And that’s my job- to document your new family dynamic- from siblings to four legged babies, the moments your partner is learning to swaddle, feeding or bathing your baby, or simply those moments snuggled on your chest- all within the comfort of your own home.

What to Expect
-
A Personalized Approach
Every booking begins with a short phone call where I can answer your questions, collaborate ideas for your session, and firm up a date. From there, booking is easy peezy lemon squeezy.
I use a questionnaire to get to know your family, which allows me to highlight your family’s awesomeness. I provide you with a client prep guide, which has everything from clothing recommendations to how to prepare your children for the session.

Session Time, Baby!
Woohoo! Here is the fun part!
I'll initially get everyone comfortable with a few poses and shutter clicks, and then we let the session unfold. I want you to snuggle into your partner, breathe in your baby, kiss, laugh, and enjoy this time you have together, unplugged from everything else.
I move at the pace of the baby- whether he/she needs to eat or is sleepy or is wide awake- it is all good.
I've been doing this a long time and spent years as a social worker- there's very little I haven't seen and not much phases me- so take a deep breath, relax, and know I GOT YOU!

Archival-Quality Prints
We all plan on printing, but photos always end up living on our computers and phones. I’ve taken the headache out of getting your images printed!
A few weeks after your session, you’ll be presented with your gallery of digital images, along with a print credit to use in the shop. From there, in a few clicks, you’ll design an album or order museum-quality prints, acrylic art, canvas, or framed prints using the print credit from your purchased collection, delivered straight to your doorstep!
Pricing
It doesn’t have to be weird, but unfortunately you can’t pay me in wine and chocolate. I don’t want to waste your time or mine, so use this as a measuring stick.
Family photos are valuable for numerous reasons. I truly believe that these are the moments that hang on your wall and ground you at the end of a tough day; they are the photos that your children will have to preserve their family legacy; they are so much more than a holiday card.
Sessions are $795 and include hi-res digital images and $150 print credit to ensure your photos are printed!
