"babies are bits of stardust, blown from the hand of God."
- barretto


I offer two types of newborn sessions; lifestyle and posed. Explore below to figure out which type of session would best for you and your family.

Lifestyle Newborn sessions





lifestyle photographs are meant to live in the moment with you well after the moment has passed.



These sessions are designed to capture your little one in their first environment; their home. These documentary sessions are meant to be relaxed, free-flowing and to capture little moments you experience everyday.


I do not bring props to these sessions. Only my camera and a few swaddles. Its about you and your family making new memories. Lifestyle sessions are perfect for families who value everyday moments.


Raw, small moments are the threads of your home, family and love. Remember them in their most honest form.

what's cuter than a tiny baby in a bowl?!



Posed newborn sessions are completely about showcasing your family's new addition. These sessions can still occur in your home but they also include props, themes, more session time and much more planning beforehand. We'll talk about colors, special requests, etc. I recommend booking Posed sessions no later than the beginning of your last trimester so we can discuss any vision you may have. Want a certain prop like a baby desk or maybe some fresh flowers? Let's plan it out!


Babies must be under 14 days old to participate in a Posed session.
