NEWBORN LIFESTYLE
Having a newborn at home is crazy! I've been there, I get it. But documenting those new little moments really is priceless. Those teenie toes, those squishy legs and those gassy smiles! And equally important is documenting the totally normal, not so glamorous moments as well - the adorable awkwardness of a sink bath, baby burps, sofa snuggles...believe me, those are the foggy memories you'll be happy to have to look back on later.
Sound overwhelming? Don't worry! It's my goal to make this as stress free as possible! I will come to you and all we will do is take photos of you doing what you do - being a parent. You will receive a prep guide full of helpful tips about how to prepare your family and your home, and don't worry, no cleaning service or hair and makeup are required! The real moments will mean more down the road.
This style of session is also perfect for "older" newborns, as they don't require much posing and a more alert baby can make for more engaging photos, capturing connection between the two of you. I recommend anywhere from one to 6 weeks. Sessions typically last 2-4 hours, leaving time for feedings and changes. If baby has siblings (even furry ones) I'm more than happy to include them!
POSES
If you just love those little sweet little newborn poses as well, I'm with you! I always bring along a few props and wraps. We will discuss your ideas in advance so I know what shots are most important to you. We also discuss details like color schemes and style and talk about what you hope to do with your images in the end - for instance nursery art, a family portrait or a beautiful baby album.
Something to note is that the younger the baby the easier they are to pose. Although we won't be attempting anything too ambitious like we might in a studio, a baby under 10 days will be much sleepier - so if you're looking for a pose-heavy gallery keep in mind your baby's age and please let me know when we speak. If you think you missed the window, there are still a number of achievable poses for "older" newborns too.
I want you to feel totally comfortable, and am always happy to answer any questions you have along the way!

Mini Annual Plan
Your children are going to keep changing and you won't want to miss those moments.
That's why I've created this mini annual plan. It's a great way to keep up with family photos! Build a wall collage, add to other products or grab something you've had your eye on!
For one annual session fee you will receive 2-4 private mini sessions (depending on your preference) per year.
Once you've booked we will get all of your dates for the year on the calendar.
The sessions can be conducted indoors or out, in you house or yard or a nearby public space.
They are approximately 20-30 minutes.
You can generally expect 2-5 images to choose from per session.
At the end of each session you will receive a watermarked gallery to choose your images.
Once you've looked them you can choose which collection you wish to purchase and the products that best suit your needs. I'm always available to help with decision making, provide mock-ups, show samples - whatever you need to make sure you're getting exactly what you want!
