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!

Focusing on What You Love
Elevate your photography business, escape burnout, work less and turn your passion into profit!
So you LOVE storytelling photography, but let’s be honest—it feels like no matter how hard you work, you’re not making the money to match the effort, right? You’re over here pouring your heart into these sessions, but then you start wondering if it's even possible to make a real living doing what you love. And I get it—working nonstop, overscheduling, and feeling totally burnt out is exhausting. Missing time with your family, too? It’s the worst. Meanwhile, you're watching other photographers out there making bank, and it’s like, what am I missing?!
Trust me, I’ve been exactly where you are. It doesn’t have to be like this. It’s time to turn that passion for newborn and documentary family photography into a business that gives you both financial freedom and creative fulfillment. You can have both, and I’m here to show you how.
So, you’re on a mission to create beautifully authentic images, the kind that tell a family’s story in a way that feels genuine. You’re passionate about capturing those heartwarming, in-between moments and turning them into memories that last forever. But let’s be real for a second—you’re probably wondering, “How do I turn this love for storytelling into a seriously profitable business?”
Maybe you don’t have a fancy studio (and you’re thinking, “Do I NEED one to attract those luxury clients?”). Or maybe you’re just working way too much—shooting, editing, hustling—and you’re missing out on the very thing you wanted when you started this business in the first place: more time for YOU. Meanwhile, you see other photographers crushing it, making serious cash, and you’re like, “How are they doing it?”
And maybe at some point, you’ve probably thought about shelling out money for studio rent just to finally hit that next level. Or maybe you already have! But even if you do have a space, you’re asking yourself, “What else can I do to stand out? How do I become the photographer people are dying to book?”
Are you nodding along cuz this sounds about right?
Then I’m so glad you’re here, because you’re most definitely in the right place!
Does this also sound familiar?
Believe me when I say I get it… because I’ve been exactly where you are right now.
But Imagine waking up each day, knowing that you have more control, freedom, and time. Your work fits around your life—not the other way around. Maybe you want to work out every morning, or have coffee or lunch with your best friend. Maybe you need some shop therapy, or to get your nails done. Imagine having time in your day for YOU all while building meaningful relationships with your clients, capturing authentic moments, and making more than you ever thought possible! This isn’t just about leveling up your photography game; it’s about building a life that finally feels balanced, purposeful, and wildly successful!
Here’s the truth—I’ve put in the hard work, made all the mistakes, and questioned everything along the way. I’ve been in those moments of complete doubt, wondering if this was even worth it. I’ve cried, quit, and come back more times than I can count. But every setback taught me something important. It’s taken me 10 years of trial and error, countless sleepless nights, and a ton of learning to finally build a photography business that actually works—one that pays well and, most importantly, gives me the freedom I dreamed of.
And now, I’m here to make sure you don’t have to go through all that. I’m handing over the exact systems and strategies that took me a decade to master so you can fast track your business. This is your chance to blast past the obstacles that slow so many photographers down and land straight in the business and life you’ve been dreaming of. Let’s get you there—no detours.
Still not convinced you have what it takes? Don’t buy that anyone is going to invest big in YOUR photography? Wondering how you can compete with all of the other low priced photographers? Haven’t found anyone willing to invest in documentary work?
I can tell you without a doubt...
You do have what it takes as long as you believe you can do it. And people WILL invest when you show them the value you are providing.
So… what is it?
So what is this magical system? What are the steps you need to take to gain access to the six figure club?
Before we get into that, I think it’s time look chat about the amazing perks of the Six Figure Storytelling model:
Burnout? Byeeee!
This isn’t just about making money (although trust me, you WILL make money!). It’s about finding JOY again in your photography. I’ve been where you are—running around, burning out, feeling like I’m just snapping photos for the paycheck. But after learning these methods, I fell in LOVE with photography all over again. Now I only shoot the moments I’m passionate about—capturing real, authentic stories—and I’m getting paid what I deserve. AND I only shoot a few so I can give them the attention they deserve. You can easily make 6 figures with only 3-5 sessions per month!
No Studio? No Problem!
I know you’ve thought it - “Do I need a fancy studio to make this work?” NO WAY. In fact, I’ll show you how to create an elevated, luxury experience in your clients’ homes, where they feel most comfortable, and turn it into a high-ticket service. Trust me—people are willing to pay for this personalized experience. And if you have a studio that’s great! There are lots of ways to turn your documentary clients into studio clients!
AI Won’t Touch THIS Kind of Photography!
You might be worried about AI creeping into the photography world, but here’s the thing—AI can’t replicate true human connection or the emotion that we capture as documentary photographers. I’ll teach you how to create images that are timeless, emotionally powerful, and in-demand, even in the age of AI.
Just imagine what that would actually be like:
-
Work Less, Earn More: Instead of running from one session to the next, you’ll be photographing 4-5 clients a month while generating six figures annually.
-
Clients Who Appreciate and Value You: Imagine working with clients who truly understand the value of your art and are thrilled to invest in it.
-
More Time for Family & Passion Projects: No more missed family events or weekends spent working. Your business will run on your terms.
-
Creative Freedom: You’ll focus on capturing the genuine, raw moments that made you fall in love with photography in the first place—no more forced poses.
All of that CAN be your reality thanks to my Six Figure Storytelling training!
Which can only be found inside of…

Only 3-5 Sessions a Month: That’s all you need to hit $100K+ using my simple and effective in-home documentary-style approach.
No Studio, No Problem: Learn how to create an upscale experience that commands high fees, all without the overhead of studio costs.

If you’re all the way at the bottom of this page, it means you’re having a hard time deciding whether or not Six Figure Storytelling is right for you.
Here’s exactly how to know:
Six Figure Storytelling is for you:
You have at least 1-2 years of experience as a photographer and are ready to take your business to the next level.
You’ve been making some income from photography, but you’re ready to average $7K+ per session with fewer clients.
You have 3-5 hours a week to dedicate to this program to build the business you’ve been dreaming of.
You love storytelling and capturing real, authentic moments rather than heavily posed studio work.
You’re tired of burnout and are ready to streamline your business so you can work less and earn more.
Six Figure Storytelling is NOT for you:
You prefer traditional, heavily posed studio photography over natural, documentary-style sessions.
You’re not ready to invest time and energy into shifting your business model or adjusting your client experience.
You want quick results without putting in the work to build long-term, sustainable success.
You’re looking for a program that focuses on high-volume, low-cost photography rather than high-end, luxury sessions.
You’re not open to learning new strategies for marketing, pricing, or sales, and you’re content with your current business results.
If you read through that list and you’re STILL unsure…
At the end of the day, this program is all about transforming your business and giving you the tools to not just survive but truly thrive as a photographer. If you:
-
Want more time for yourself and your family without sacrificing your income…
-
Dream of working with clients who value your talent and are willing to invest in your services…
-
Feel like you're ready for a change but need a clear roadmap to follow…
Then Six Figure Storytelling could be exactly what you need. And remember, you have lifetime access to the course materials, so you can go at your own pace. You won’t be doing this alone, either—there’s built-in support every step of the way.
Still on the fence? Trust yourself—you’ve made it this far, which means something inside you is ready for more. Don’t let fear hold you back from creating the business and life you deserve!
So, what do you say??
Are you ready to level up and become a Six Figure Storyteller?
