My style and your experience…
Every newborn session is customized and unique to each client. My style of newborn photography is best described as timeless, clean, and minimalistic, with an emphasis on your baby as the beautiful subject. I love to use a mix of modern-rustic props and earth toned colors. I do my best keeping things simple and pure.
I will capture the story of your baby in a beautiful organic natural form. I love keeping newborn portraits simple without overpowering them with lots of props or unnatural posing. The first family portrait with your new addition to your family is my mission.
Since 2013, I have had the profound privilege of working with over 1,000 newborns. This extensive experience has allowed me to master the art of newborn soothing and safe, anatomical posing. I understand that you are entrusting me with your most precious gift; therefore, I maintain a calm, temperature-controlled studio environment where we move at your baby’s pace. Whether it’s pausing for a feeding or simply waiting for that perfect sleepy curl, I am dedicated to a patient, gentle approach that results in soulful, breathtaking imagery.

These pieces serve as a permanent visual legacy; sophisticated artwork that your children will one day hold in their own hands. This is more than photography; it is a storied heirloom destined to live within the heart of your home for generations to come.

WHAT TO EXPECT
01.
Pre-session planning
I’m so honored to document this time for you. Once you’ve booked your newborn session, we’ll dive into the planning together—starting with a styling questionnaire and a session prep guide so you know exactly what to expect. All sessions are customized for each client. A phone or Zoom consultation can be scheduled to get to know each other and let me tell you what specials can be included in your session. We’ll collaborate every step of the way to create images that feel like a true reflection of your journey.
02.
Photo session day
In the quiet comfort of the studio, we will work together to create timeless portraits of your newborn. To ensure a seamless morning for your family, I provide a curated selection of wardrobe options for mothers, along with everything required for baby—from organic textures to heirloom-quality props. I focus on capturing the soft, natural details of your newborn and the tender bond you share. My approach is patient and guided, ensuring a stress-free environment for both you and your baby.
03.
reveal & Ordering
After your session, I carefully curate your gallery, selecting only the most beautiful moments. A few days after your session, we will meet again (in person or via zoom) for your image reveal and you’ll select your favorite images. During this appointment, we will also design your custom artwork and prints. There is no minimum order requirement; I simply want you to choose the pieces you truly love. For your convenience, flexible payment plans are available to help you invest in the heirlooms your family will cherish forever.

the finished art
Once your products are completed, I’ll arrange delivery and installation if required. Each piece is carefully inspected to ensure its perfect before delivery. Wall art & folio boxes are handmade in Italy. Custom products can take anywhere from 4-10 weeks to complete after your reveal session.
