once in a lifetime.

Capturing the beginning of your baby's legacy only happens once in a lifetime. Once they are out we want to keep them that way. With my experience and expert eye, I can capture those moments and turn them into treasured keepsakes to last a lifetime.

I get that birth photography isn't for everyone, but those first hours after your baby is born are important and you want to remember it. If that's true, this is the session for you, call me as soon as your baby is born and I will capture every detail of their beginning.

Those tiny toes and little nose won't last forever. For most moms (yours truly included) those first 48 hours are a blur, between exhaustion after birth and caring for your new little one. My experienced eye can capture every detail, so you can remember them forever.

Capturing those first moments big brother or sister meet their baby are easily my favorite moments outside of birth photography. I have to be on my toes, though, because you never know what they will do next and once the moment is gone, it's gone.

moments.

Family sessions are in-the-moment with a few pauses for a posed moment. But mostly my goal for family moments is to capture your real-life moments. Maybe it's a family walk to the park, story time at home, or game night.

You're home in the nursery you decorated, snuggling your baby. It's beautiful, but it goes so fast, and who remembers to capture these moments. This is the perfect way to document these memories before they are gone. Capturing these moments for you to remember and turn them into beautiful keepsakes is what I do.

As moms, we want to remember every detail, but it's so hard when they are little and need you for everything. Let me help with that, with my experience I can capture every detail and leave you with one less thing to worry about. And a big bonus you get to live in those moments and show them to your baby when they grow up.

Your baby is turning one! You have it all planned, you have invited all the special people in their life and everything is ready, but who will take the pictures? If you are like me, you get wrapped up in the moments and forget the pictures. But with my experience, I know how to document this big day and turn it into keepsakes.
