the
newborn experience
snuggle your baby, i'll do the rest
an effortless experience
"oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up, just stay this little."
-taylor swift
Every baby enters this world fully unique, with their own rhythm and needs. The first few weeks, you're sleep deprived, running solely on cat naps and baby snuggles. But they change so quick, and you want to make sure you capture their tiny toes and flaky skin before they grow too much.
My in-home newborn sessions are shaped around exactly what new parents and babies need- convenience and comfort. No loading up into the car, worrying you're going to forget something. Instead, i'll come to you. Everything happens in a familiar, calm environment where you can feel truly relaxed and soak in the sweet moments. Giving space for feedings, soothing, or diaper changes in your own home. Allowing everyone to settle in naturally and allowing me to capture soft connection.
From start to finish, the process is designed to feel supportive, with full galleries delivered within 10 days so you can quickly share your newest little love with those who matter most.

handled with care
I know how intimidating it can feel to hand your newborn to someone else, especially in those early days. Newborn sessions are scheduled within the first few weeks, when babies are naturally sleepier and more comfortable being gently swaddled and posed. Safely swaddling and positioning a newborn is a learned skill. Every movement during your session is slow, supported, and guided by your baby’s cues to ensure they are always comfortable.
I provide soft swaddles, build in time for feeding and soothing breaks, and follow a baby-led flow where nothing is rushed or forced. My goal is for you to feel at ease, knowing your baby is being handled with care, experience, and intention.

client closet
one less thing to stress about
Outfit planning can be almost as dreadful as trying to get everyone out the door. But now, with access to a curated client closet, outfit planning becomes simple and stress-free. I've hand picked gorgeous dresses for mom (bump-friendly styles included) that photograph beautifully and are easy to coordinate with for the rest of the family. Allowing you to arrive to your session feeling confident and prepared without having to spend time and extra money on one-time outfits. It’s one more way the experience is designed to feel easy, thoughtful, and fully supportive for families.

an experience designed for new parents
The newborn days are nothing short of exhausting, and the last thing I want is for your session to feel like another task to prepare for before your baby arrives. You’re taking care of your sweet newborn, and my role is to take care of everything else.
Because availability is limited and sessions tend to book up to three months in advance, I recommend reaching out early to reserve your due date.
The ideal time for a newborn session is 1-3 weeks after delivery.
