With Kids:
For a maternity session with kids, we typically do a mini family session in the beginning including a few family poses, the child(ren) together and alone, and Mom with her kids.
At this point, we recommend someone take the kids out of the studio and the remainder of the time is used for just the adults, or just Mom.
You are welcome to wear multiple looks and/or outfits for your session. Nudes can be included if you wish.
Without Kids:
For an adult-only session, we can include a lot of variety in your session in terms of wardrobe, backdrops and lighting. You are welcome to wear multiple looks and/or outfits for your session. Nudes can be included if you wish.
STUDIO NEWBORN SESSIONS
Studio newborn sessions are typically held between 1-3 weeks of birth, but can be modified beyond that.
You can expect family poses, sibling poses, each parent with the baby, and several poses of the baby alone.
Everything needed for your session is provided. Newborn clients typically choose their outfits upon arrival at their session, since it can be difficult to get in for a wardrobe consultation.
SIX MONTH “SITTER” SESSION
Sitter sessions can be held anywhere between six - nine months, when your baby can sit independently but is not yet mobile.
This is the ideal age to get solo photos, because babies are typically very cooperative, happy, and not afraid of strangers.
If this session is done for just the baby, we can do 2-3 outfits and include siblings.
If you do this as a full family session, it can also include 2 outfits but less solo photos will be taken to ensure time for family poses.
Scheduling can be remain flexible, as we often don’t know when your baby will be able to sit.
FIRST BIRTHDAY
First birthday sessions can be held anytime from 11-12 months of age. If you want the edited photos back early to print for a party and/or to post, then we recommend scheduling at least three weeks ahead of the birthday.
Since one year olds are often afraid of strangers and don’t like being put down, we recommend doing this sesson as a family session. This ensures we get plenty of great photos before attempting “the great put down”.
Once family photos are complete, we also typically do a cakesmash and a bath. The cake and the bath are both provided by the studio.
You never know what a cakesmash will bring - joy, tears, disinterest….it’s all part of the experience, and such a fun memory to capture!
STUDIO FAMILY SESSIONS
Studio family sessions are for kids of all ages! Parents love the convenience of the studio - there is no wind, bugs or sand. Kids can’t run off, and you can schedule your session around naps instead of the sun.
Sessions typically include group photos, each child alone, the siblings, each parents with their child(ren), just the parents, and plenty of candid and playful shots along the way.

I take a limited number of newborn sessions per month, because these babies come on their own schedule! Once your baby has been born, I ask you to reach out to me to let me know asap and we will schedule you. Ideally, we schedule your session between 10-20 days of birth but we can certainly work outside that range if we need to! It is recommended that you book early in your second trimester to ensure availability.
-
As you'll notice from my portfolio, I specialize in a simplistic style that lets your baby be the focus of the image. I love monochromatic colors and layers of texture. With that being said, I DO provide everything needed for your session - props, wraps, layers, hats, headbands.
-
Posed newborn photography is much more strategic than you might think. We have many strategies that we implement, both before the session and while posing, to help ensure your baby sleeps through the many poses we do. If your baby just won't sleep, we have many poses we can do that still turn out wonderful but this scenario is very, very rare!
-
There are scenarios where you are unable to get in at the ideal age for newborn photos, and that is ok! We can photograph newborns up to two months old when needed (and even older if the baby was born early) - please reach out to me to discuss in more detail, and I can show you what we can do!
-
I always direct clients to my portfolio for the best representation of the poses that I can deliver on a consistent basis. Of course every baby is different, and we let babies dictate the session.
-
Newborn sessions vary greatly by baby, to allow time for them to fall asleep when they are ready and to of course allow feeding and snuggle breaks. Sessions can be anywhere from 2-3 hours, depending on the circumstances.

It is recommended that you book early in your second trimester. I take on a limited number of due dates per month to ensure flexibility in scheduling, so that is the best way to ensure a spot. Sometimes when babies come early or late, I do end up with last minute openings but it cannot be guaranteed.
