From Bump to Baby, Your Story Matters to Me
Maternity and newborn sessions are some of the most meaningful moments I get to capture. This season of life is tender, emotional, and beautifully transformative. And it deserves to be remembered with delicate intention. Whether you’re soaking in the glow of pregnancy or holding your newborn in those first precious days, my goal is to create images that reflect the love, strength, and softness of motherhood in all the beautiful moments. I’ll guide you gently through the session so you feel comfortable, confident, and truly seen for who you are. These moments pass all too quickly, but your photos will hold them in close forever.

FAQ
How many pictures will we receive?
For a Maternity session, an hour slot will probably get you a good 25-80 photos, where as a two hour slot will range more between 80- 150, all depending on how many sets/ outfits are used and how long it takes to change sets.
Newborn Sessions are a little bit different. Because these babies are so unpredictable, Sessions will be longer to include extra time for feeding, soothing the baby, outfit changes, set changes, etc. meaning that you may receive anywhere between 20-100 photos.
What’s the best time to have a maternity session? Newborn Session?
Maternity sessions are typically best scheduled between 28–34 weeks of pregnancy. During this time, your bump is beautifully round, and you’re usually still comfortable enough to move and pose without too much fatigue. Every pregnancy is different, so if you’re showing early or carrying multiples, we can adjust the timing to what feels right for you.
Newborn sessions are ideally done within the first 1-4 weeks after birth. Babies are sleepier, curlier, and more content being posed during the 1-2 week window, which helps create those soft, peaceful images parents love, and grandparents brag about. If your baby is older, no need to worry! We can still capture beautiful newborn moments; the session just may look a little more awake and full of personality!
What should I bring to a newborn session?
For newborn sessions, simplicity is key. All you really need to bring is your baby and the essentials you use day-to-day. I recommend packing items like extra diapers, wipes, a pacifier (even if baby doesn’t always use one), a bottle or anything needed for feeding, and a change of clothes for both baby and parents—just in case.
If there’s anything sentimental you’d love included, such as a special blanket, outfit, stuffy, or family heirloom, feel free to bring it along! I take care of the rest, including wraps, blankets, and simple props to keep the session cozy and stress-free. My goal is to make the experience easy, relaxed, and comfortable for both you and your little one!
What are your payment terms and cancellation policies?
I require that the client pays the down payment of at least 50% 6 weeks prior the shoot day. I will need the full payment before you receive any sneak peaks or full gallery. If the client wishes to reschedule- the payment will carry over to the new date. However, if the client wishes to cancel altogether, The downpayment will not be returned, as it is payment for the date that I may have to pass up on another shoot for. If the client pays in full prior to the shoot, and happens to cancel, they will receive back everything minus the downpayment.
What is your experience with babies or young infants?
I have years of hands-on experience caring for babies and young infants. I’ve babysat for newborns through young teenagers, and I also completed a certified babysitting course through Brookings Hospital. I’m comfortable with soothing, feeding, safely wrapping, and handling little ones with the gentleness and care they need.
Your baby’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities, and I bring both my childcare experience and my newborn photography training into every session to ensure a calm, relaxed environment for you and your little one.
How should I dress for my maternity session?
Choose outfits that make you feel beautiful, comfortable, and confident—this session is all about celebrating you and your growing baby. Flowy dresses, soft fabrics, and pieces that highlight your bump photograph especially well. Neutral or earthy tones always look stunning, but feel free to choose colors that match your personality and style.
You’re welcome to bring a couple of outfit options so we can switch between different looks throughout the session! It can be something elegant, something cozy, or something more form-fitting to show off your silhouette. If you need guidance, I’m more than happy to help you choose outfits that flatter and fit the vision of your session!
Do you offer prints or albums?
Yes I do! I go through MPix, Pixieset, or Shutterfly!
