From pregnancy to postpartum and all the years after. Motherhood is truly unique to every person, but it also brings such connection. Connection to your body, your baby, your partner and your community. Now I'm not saying this time is always picturesque.
It's also exhausting, challenging, beautiful, frustrating and a true blessing wrapped up in one. Although everyone's experience is different I think the strength required is all the same and deserves to be celebrated.
Capturing your motherhood journey.
Delivery day. After curating and editing your photos, I will email you a gallery of images from our session, usually within two weeks. These memories are for you to download, print and share for years to come.

Shoot day. Where all of the fun happens! We will get together, get acquainted and start capturing memories together. I will guide you through unstructured poses so your images tell your story.
03
Let's get planning! We will finalize the details of the shoot and I will make sure we are prepped for the special day. Location and wardrobe are just some of the things I can help guide you on.
02
Inquire so we can get in touch. Let's chat details and get on the same page about what you are looking for in a photographer. After picking a package, I'll send you a contract that we both sign. Once your deposit is submitted we can get to it.

what working together looks like
While editing isn't always the part you see, it is a large part of where I pour my creativity and heart into the magic we created in our session together.

I give these select images my undivided attention. From the style of editing to the details that you may never notice, I spend the time working with these images so they tell your unique story.

From there I comb through and select the images that best tell your story, curating a gallery that documents our day together.

Once our session is complete I make sure the images are safe and secure on multiple backup drives.

Everyone "pops" at different times, but I generally recommend maternity photos between 32-36 weeks. I like to think this is the sweet spot between bumpin' and feeling too tired to want to bump around in front of the camera. Of course its never too early to get an announcement or "half baked" photo. Also never too late to capture all that your body is doing before baby arrives.
Absolutely! My dog is the type who gives no personal space so don’t feel bad about any slobber, jumping for joy, or sassy attitudes. I’m happy to cuddle your fur-babies and include them in your photos.
We will secure everything before baby arrives, but I will basically join you on bump watch. I’ll have your due date in my calendar and we will be flexible knowing baby arrives on their own timeline. Typically a newborn session falls within 14 days of birth so we will keep in touch and make it happen!
My newborn sessions are fully baby-led which is why I allow more time for these photos to be taken. I’m a mom myself. I’ve been there. I know babies cry, blowout of their diapers and need to eat on demand. Its my job to capture that cutie in-between all the chaos. I also like to capture a little of the chaos because keeping it real is important too.
I embrace the chaos. You know your toddler best and what may or may not trigger their emotions, but trust me when I say I don’t judge. If they have a meltdown, so be it. If they are shy, I know they’ll warm up. If you bribe them with candy and screen time, I won’t tell. Once we get acquainted they’ll come around and we will get some great images!
Once you reach out, we will discuss your session type, preferences and specific date. Once we are aligned I will send over a contract of services. Your session is secure upon signing the contract and submitting a non-refundable deposit.
You will receive your full online gallery within two weeks of our photoshoot date. Looking to get your photos sooner? This can be accommodated with a rush fee. Let’s chat about it!
