in home sessions
I get it, when youβre growing + raising + expanding your family everything feels harder. Iβm stuck right between two worlds: I have kids ranging from four years old to eleven years old, and there is such a difference in the parts of my day. I remember - so vividly - what it was like when my oldest was 4. How everything felt new, fresh, young (!). And while itβs overwhelming in those moments, thereβs nothing quite like having the photos to go back (I donβt know about you, but my sleep was close to not existing at that time, so my memory is a little fuzzy!) and look at how we lived those years. How we lived those years, but like, freshly, through a photographerβs eyes.
Thatβs my hope for an in home session. Within the comfort of your home, your children open up, show me them, and I get to capture a true piece of what your life looks like in these moments.
how the sessions work
Weβll decide on a time, and hopefully start at home. Weβll plan to shoot for about 90 minutes, but my biggest promise is that I wonβt keep shooting if I can tell that you / your kids are D-O-N-E. I like when I can arrive and youβre not rushing to βget ready for photosβ but rather it feels organic as I can enter into your home, and get to know + help the kids get comfortable with me by not putting the pressure on them to start performing for the camera right away. It might be me reading some books to a new big sis, or giving your middle child (we call our middles the βtweedlesβ because they are always looking for a little bit more ;) ) some attentionβ¦but number one key is that weβre all comfortable and ready to make some magic happen!

newborn sessions
the days are long, but the years are shortβ¦and the nights? why doesnβt anyone talk about them? theyβre even longer!
whatβs in a newborn session
Youβve done it! Congrats on your sweet transition into parenthood. I am so glad youβre here + thinking about capturing this time forever. The newborn phase is tough. Itβs all the things being thrown at you at once - prepared or not! I hope when I come into your home for these sessions, it feels like an old friend coming in to catch up, encourage you to spend an afternoon slowing down with your babe, and really taking in all the things that these days are about. When I was a newborn mom, I know I lived by the sayings βTHESE ARE THE DAYSβ but also βTHE BEST IS YET TO COME.β I promise to honor that love I see happening in your new family!
M O R E T I M E
you are all adjusting to your new normal. Or, βnormalβ if youβre lucky, itβll never be that old normal again. We will take our time and shoot up to two hours.
natural organic poses and settings
I am not your baby in a basket photographer. We will work with baby to definitely get some sweet + snuggled individual portraits, but if thereβs anything I know about infants, itβs that theyβre always happier when theyβre in your arms.

the real mvp:
Mini sessions
why?
Photos + Children = stress. Even for the best of us. BUT mini sessions are a GREAT + affordable way to upgrade those yearly photos that are always worth it once itβs over ;) trust me, I know!
when?
These mini sessions differ from my bi annual mini sessions in that theyβre done on YOUR schedule. You wonβt be smushed in between two other families for an allotted 20 minutes. I will shoot for about 30 minutes, but weβve got some wiggle room. Great if you have a larger family, or you think your kids might need some extra warming up time.
