Tiny toes, newborn yawns, the way they curl into your chest. This season is fleeting — let's capture it honestly and preserve it in artwork that lasts.

bringing BABY HOME

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. 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.

Here's what I know — two years from now, when your baby is bigger and this phase is over and you can't quite remember how it felt to hold them at this age, you'll scroll past these photos and say "I meant to print these, I really did." I'm here to make sure that doesn't happen. I'm here to document this new beginning for you and and turn it into finished artwork — albums your family will hold, prints ready to hang — so this season doesn't fade away for good. 

These first days deserve to be remembered, honestly

And you deserve to have an experience that finally feels different.

The fun part is over — now it's my turn to do the work! I'll spend time carefully editing your gallery so every image feels like you. Real, warm, and exactly as you were on that day. If you added a session video, get ready with a box of tissues handy because you're going to want to watch it on repeat!

Your Story, Honestly Remembered

Our time together is meant to feel slow and easy — because these first days are meant to be savored, not rushed. We'll move at your baby's pace, follow their lead, and let the real moments of this brand new chapter unfold naturally. Feeding breaks, sibling snuggles, all of it welcome.

A SESSION WHERE REAL LIFE HAPPENS

Before our session, I take time to really get to know your family — your personalities, this new season of life, and the little things that make you, you. I want you to feel comfortable so when your little one comes, we can create meaningful photos together.

WE PLAN YOUR SESSION TOGETHER

The first step is to reach out to me through my contact form. You will receive a personal email from me with my offerings and then we will hop on a quick phone call so you can feel confident that working together is the best for your family!

REACH OUT AND SAY HELLO

THE NEXT STEP

The first year truly does go in a blink of an eye and your little one will go through so much change. You will never regret having more photos of your baby, and most importantly as every session with me is a family session, you will be in all the photos too, mama.

It Goes By In The Blink Of An Eye

Finding a photographer is no easy (or quick) task. With the first year membership, you only have to do it once and then I will be there to remind you when it's time to schedule again to capture all of your little one's milestones.

Our time together is meant to feel easy and fun! We’ll spend our time doing the things your family already loves. I’ll gently guide and prompt you along the way (no stiff posing here), so real moments can unfold naturally.Ask questions, share wins, and get feedback from fellow students and the course team in real-time.

Cohesive Images Throughout

Collective members have priority access to my calendar so you can rest easy knowing you never have to worry about last minute bookings. With my calendar mainly collective members, and there are some months I don't have room for single sessions.

Your Family Is My Priority

THE FIRST YEAR COLLECTIVE

THIS IS WHAT I LONG FOR

...I'm tired, maybe we should wait until we're more settled, the house isn't clean. Here's the thing, this new beginning won't wait for you. Soon your baby will already be different, bigger, less new — it slips away faster than you'll know.

So let's stop waiting for perfect and just show up, exactly as you are. Your real life is already the story worth telling. Let me help you remember it honestly, before it's gone.

Here's the thing — there will always be a "but." 

You're probably thinking two things: "This sounds amazing, but..."

Ready to remember this beginning?

I WOULD LOVE THIS

Tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, the way they fit perfectly in your arms right now, and fleeting moments. This new chapter on video, honestly remembered.

I WOULD LOVE THIs

I'M READY!

Imagine if you could show up exactly as you are (maybe a little tired and emotional, but so in love) with a heart so full you don't have words for it yet. Imagine feeling so at ease when I show up because I took the time to get to know your family before we even start. Imagine a session that moves at your baby's pace, unhurried and easy, while I quietly document all the tiny details you're already afraid you'll forget. I promise it's not too good to be true. Investment starts at $990.
