"My focus is on quality imagery.
I'm not in the pricing game or even the convenience game. I take my time, I get the adorable images, I allow myself to create for my clients. I only capture one baby per day, and prefer only one per week. I'm selective in my clientele to ensure they value what I create.
That is important to me."

years in business
I'm thankful that I thought I could do it cheaper and easier years ago. I love where I am today and I love capturing newborns! But I definitely would go back and tell my skeptical self and say... pay the money, value her artistry... because she's worth it! I wish I had those really amazing newborn images. The ones I took of my son I definitely cherish...but as a creative...I wish I had the adorable perfectly posed images I sought after.
So my goal is to try and educate people on what it really takes to have babies look like they are peaceful, comfortable, like little angels on clouds. It takes a significant amount of patience! And once people have seen me work, the price is never an issue. I think most agree that I need to charge more. Lol! But I haven't changed my pricing since 2020.

My journey into newborn photography started in 2010, prior to the birth of my son. I was looking for a photographer to capture his photos...and was surprised at how expensive she was.
Well...I would definitely be aghast at my own prices today if I was searching for me. Lol! But I understand how pricing plays into each person's budget. I also understand that a lot of people really don't know what it takes to be a newborn photographer. And why some images draw you in more than others.
What I didn't understand in 2010, was that there is a whole lot that goes into newborn photography. The level of posing skills, lighting, editing, and sheer patience to get those idyllic images really takes years to master. I've done that! The cost of those cute and adorable props would shock many people, and I have a ton of them!

Florals
We believe in florals. Each session incorporates an element of nature. For boys or girls, you will find that our portfolio clearly demonstrates a love of the outdoors. We often use real flowers that reflect the season as well as faux florals to embelish a design.
Simple
As much as we thrive on creating custom sets, and placing dripping florals around your baby...we are equally drawn to the simple baby focused approach. These create the best black and white images which are timeless!
Family
We encourage families to be present in their newborn images. The way we pose newborns with parents and siblings looks way cooler when done by a professional.
You have years to take iphone photos of your family. But only a newborn photographer can wrap, position, and pose your family so that everyone looks amazing!
