Maternity
Some of us will never have more than one experience of an expanding belly that grows a tiny human. Some of us will be blessed with more than one opportunity to go through the miracle of pregnancy. Either way, capturing that final stage right before birth is magical and one of a kind. You are glowing with life and radiance that is dying to be documented.
Maternity sessions are typically done between week 26-38, at the point where you're not too uncomfortable but you also have a large enough bump to photograph. For first time moms, the latter part of the window listed will be better, as bumps are slow to grow in the first pregnancy, typically. However, I will work around what works best for you and your family. We will discuss locations, time, and wardrobe via email. Zoom, or phone call.
Fresh 48 & Newborn Sessions
Capturing those first couple days or weeks when your baby has entered into the world is probably the most important time to encapsulate. It goes quickly, and everyone is right: they grow too fast. Fresh 48 or a Newborn session gives you the opportunity to sit back and relax, and allow me to do all the work of capturing the details that are most important to you.
In a pre-session Zoom, phone call, or email exchange, you outline some of the things you want captured in the session. Fresh 48 typically occurs at the hospital, as newborn sessions are within the first two weeks of being home. I do not do staged or posed newborn sessions, but rather lifestyle documentary style.

Milestones
The first year for any parent is a whirlwind. We are trying to catch up on our sleep, trying to work out a routine that fits our needs as well as the needs of our newborn, and are running on pure emotion and exhaustion half the time. We tend to document only through our cell phone cameras, missing pivotal moments that should be highlighted in that first year of life.
When you hire a photographer to capture those milestone moments, you are alleviating the stress of having to do it yourself and getting better quality images in a complete package.
Milestone highlights include:
Fresh 48 OR Newborn Lifestyle
3 months
6 months
12 months-1st Birthday pics
When we chat, you will tell me what you're looking for specifically to capture and we will work together on a timeline to set out to capture those major milestones in your child's life. You will have access to the images and choose the best ones for a complete and finished photobook to share and treasure for the rest of your life.
Make your life easy and invest in a Maternity, Newborn, and/or Milestones package. It will be your greatest investment: to capture those fast moving moments of your pregnancy through the first year, with your child. You'll get access, not only to all edited digital images, but , with your help, I will carefully select and craft photobook showcasing these moments.
