You've dreamed of these days for far too long and they are finally here. Your days are now filled with a baby that fits perfectly on your chest, the sweetest newborn smell you can't get enough of, and the most perfect little fingers and toes that fit perfectly in the palm of your hand. But you've heard it a million times before - it goes by in the blink of an eye. All those details you can't get enough of soon become a distant memory that you can no longer remember. My desire is to photograph all the moments that make up your first days with your baby so those memories are never lost upon you.

BRINGING BABY HOME
We won't stop at capturing the memories - we will preserve them with tangible heirlooms. I'll be there with you every step of the way to create a beautiful gallery wall or a fine art album that will allow your children's children to hold these photos in their hands one day.
Our time together will be spent doing some of your family's favorite things - snuggling your loved ones, playing games with your children, and being who you are together naturally. I will get to know your family before our session to be sure I capture what is most important to you.
OUR TIME TOGETHER
If there is anything we all wish we had more of it would be time, am I right mama? Our to-do lists are growing just as fast as our babies are and time to pause & preserve the fleeting days seems impossible. I will provide you an experience where your to-do list just says "show up".

Why Book The First Year Collective?
THOSE FIRST FEW DAYS
FEATURED SESSIONS
SEE THE SESSION
Our outdoor newborn session was a celebration of the unpredictable and the undeniably beautiful chaos that comes with welcoming a new life into the family. We captured the moments that unfold when we embrace the imperfect perfection of life's most precious moments.
OUTDOOR NEWBORN SESSION
SEE THE SESSION
I never take for granted the opportunity to be welcomed into your home to capture such intimate and personal photos for you. Your home is the place your life happens — it’s where you created a space to bring your new little one home. There is nothing more sacred than photos with your newborn.
AT HOME NEWBORN SESSION
SEE THE SESSION
Not every newborn session is going to be as still as the first time you brought your first baby home, but that's no reason not to have newborn photos. They may look a little different and there may be a little (or a lot) more noise, but this is your new normal and I want to capture it exactly as it is.
NEWBORN WITH SIBLINGS SESSION
I NEED THIS!
Discover the it's all taken care of experience that you didn't even know existed. What if I told you all you had to do was show up and I've got the rest? From your wardrobe to full family styling, to artwork in your hands, all while enjoying time with your littles.
and I KNOW YOU'RE BUSY
THEY DON'T STAY LITTLE FOR LONG, MAMA
With three littles at home myself, I take on a very limited amount of sessions each month. It is never too early to reach out with the news that you are expecting - I promise I'm a really good secret keeper and no one will know that you have a little one on the way!
How early should I reach out to book my newborn session?
Thinking about outfits for your family is just as hard as finding a photographer. Trust me, I get it. This is why I have a curated client closet that is full of dresses for mama and clothes for younger children. As far as baby goes, they don't actually need an outfit - just a swaddle and a bow if it's a girl! This blog post explains this in more detail!
I have no idea what to wear for a newborn session?
I approach all of my sessions the same - in the most authentic way to preserve your memories. I want your photos to be more than a picture, but to evoke feelings. I have a lifestyle approach to my sessions where I let the real, organic moments unfold in front of me and I capture exactly that. This blog post explains this in more detail!

My family had the best experience working with Courtney! She is so kind and personable. Being able to borrow outfits from her client wardrobe was incredibly helpful, and the options are all so beautiful. I absolutely love how our photos turned out! I will treasure them forever!
