My style has been described as simple, timeless, and maternal. Using a palette of light neutrals and beautiful soft textures, I strive to create photographs that evoke the raw emotion and connection of the moment that capture the true love you have for your family. Whether you are a first time mom, expecting or a seasoned mother, I believe that your journey of motherhood is beautiful and should be celebrated and remembered.
I want your portrait session with me to be as stress-free as possible. Newborn sessions typically take place within the first 2 weeks, and in most cases, in the comfort of your own home. To me, this adds an entire different level of meaning to your portraits. Because whether this is your first home, your forever home or somewhere in between, this is the home you brought your baby home to for the first time. And this home is part of your story.
My newborn portrait work is focused on the love a connection between a parent and child and family. The entirety of the session, baby will be placed in their favorite place, your arms. I want you to look back at your images and remember just how little they felt in your arms.
Maternity sessions have the option of either in-home or on-location and will typically be photographed between 30-35 weeks. Pregnancy is such a beautiful and life-changing season of a woman’s life, and it deserves to be documented. Not just for you, but for your child. After all, this is the beginning of their story. The moment when you welcomed your child into your family and into your heart forever. I want you to look back at your portraits and feel how fiercely you loved this baby, even before you met them.
I want your family session to be more than a holiday card or a blip on social media. Instead, I want your portraits to be enjoyed for generations. I want to create a true family heirloom of exactly what your family is today.
Motherhood sessions are the perfect opportunity to celebrate the beautiful connection between mother and child. Ideal for 6 month or 1 year milestones, but also perfect for mothers in any season of motherhood. After all, there is never a wrong time to have a beautiful portrait taken with your children.
-Your questions answered-Do you only photograph in black and white? Will I receive color images as well?
This is my #1 asked question! Even though my signature style is black and white, most, if not all, of my digital images will be presented to you in both black and white AND in color. The only exception to this is if the images were photographed using black & white film.
Where do your sessions take place?
Typically newborn sessions take place in your home, providing there is ample window light and at least one room with a neutral colored wall. Family sessions take place at one of my favorite outdoor locations approximately one hour prior to sunset. Maternity & motherhood sessions have the option of either an outdoor location or in your home.
What should I wear?
After booking, I will send you a detailed Portrait Planning Guide full of information about how to prepare for your session-including information about what to wear. I also have an optional studio wardrobe for mothers and young children to borrow clothing from, exclusive for my in-home portrait sessions. For family sessions and outdoor maternity, I offer personal styling assistance for the entire family.
