Maternity
Pregnancy is a remarkable season, and motherhood is the greatest transformation a woman will ever experience. My maternity sessions are relaxed and guided, helping you feel natural and at ease — alone, with your partner, or with little ones. Sessions can be in my cosy home studio or outdoors, and wardrobe pieces are available for up to two outfit changes for expecting mothers and children up to age 5. I would be honored to celebrate and preserve this special time alongside you in timeless, heartfelt images.
Newborn
The first days and weeks of motherhood can feel like a beautiful, hazy whirlwind as you adjust to life with your newborn. Newborn moments are fleeting, and it’s my joy to capture every little detail so you can hold onto them forever. Typically, newborn sessions are done between 6–21 days old, when babies curl up in that unique, womb-like way. After your session is officially booked, you’ll receive a detailed prep guide and, within 72 hours, your online view only raw gallery where you can select your favorite images to be fully touched by me in my signature style — a box of tissues highly recommended! My desire is to create timeless, emotional images that will let you remember exactly how these precious moments felt.
Family
Every love story is unique, whether it’s the bond you share as a couple or the connection within your family. These cherished moments pass by in the blink of an eye, and it’s my desire to capture the laughter, connection, and quiet intimacy that make your story yours. My sessions are relaxed and guided, helping everyone feel natural and at ease — from couples celebrating their love to families sharing tender, joyful moments together. Whether we’re in my cosy home studio or exploring one of my beautiful outdoor locations, I create timeless, heartfelt images that preserve the love and joy exactly as it is, in the moment.

FAQ
HOW CAN I BOOK A SESSION?
To book a session, email me with your vision and any details you’d like included. I’ll help you plan a session that feels personal, comfortable, and beautifully captures your story.
HOW DOES YOUR GALLERY DELIVERY PROCESS WORK?
After every session, I send a link to your full gallery within 72 hours, so you can view all the images and select your favorites. Once you’ve made your selections, you simply email me the list of chosen images. I then edit them in my signature style and deliver the final images within the session-specific turnaround time:
Mini sessions: 1 week to select images
Full sessions: 2 weeks to select images
Full newborn sessions: 1 month to select images
This process allows you to choose the images that matter most to you while ensuring each one is beautifully edited and delivered on time.
Can you recommend any good locations?
Absolutely! I’m happy to suggest locations that suit your session style, whether you’re looking for natural light, a cozy indoor setting, or a scenic outdoor backdrop. I also have a curated list of favorite spots that photograph beautifully. During booking, we can discuss what fits your vision best!
HOW DOES RESCHEDULING A SESSION WORK?
No worries! Weather-related reschedules are always free of charge.
Important rescheduling notes:
• For mini and full outdoor sessions in September, October, November, and December, any reschedule due to client-side reasons (emergency or non-emergency) is subject to a $50 rescheduling fee. In these months, rescheduled sessions will be held Monday through Thursday only, as Friday–Sunday evenings are reserved for Fall and Holiday Family Sessions.
• For outdoor sessions outside these months, a one-time client-side reschedule is free of charge. Any additional reschedule requests will be subject to a $50 fee.
• Newborn sessions: The first client-side reschedule is free of charge, and the second reschedule is subject to a $50 fee.
We’ll always work together to find a convenient date that keeps your session comfortable and beautiful.
