Newborn photography
that comes to you.

No car seat, no studio, no stress in the first fragile days. I bring the camera, the light, and the quiet — to your living room, your bedroom, or your birth center suite.

Why I come to you

Those first 14 days
are incredibly fleeting.

They are the only time your baby will curl up the way they did inside you — the sleepy newborn stretches, the tiny startle reflexes, the soft skin, the brand-newness that disappears faster than we expect.

And honestly, the last thing you should have to do during that precious window is pack up a tiny baby, load the car, and leave the comfort of your home just to capture these memories.

That's why I bring the newborn session to you.

Your home becomes the studio — your bed, your nursery, your favorite corner by the window, the spaces where these first days are already unfolding. You can stay cozy on the couch, rest when you need to, join the photos whenever you feel like it, or simply watch and soak in these beautiful first days.

Please don't worry about the dishes in the sink, the unfolded laundry, or whether your hair is perfect. I promise, I won't notice those things.

I'm a mom of three myself. I know what those first days feel like — the exhaustion, the overwhelming love, the constant feeding, the emotions, and the beautiful chaos that comes with welcoming a new baby. My job isn't to photograph perfection. It's to preserve what is real.

Every mother I meet amazes me. Every baby feels like a miracle. It is such a privilege to be invited into these intimate first days of your family's story. The images we create together aren't just for today — they become part of your family's legacy, bringing warmth, love, and memories to your children, and someday, perhaps even to your grandchildren.

So take a deep breath. Stay comfortable. Let me take care of the rest while you simply love your baby.

Timing

The golden window: day 0–14

Newborns sleep deepest and curl most easily in their first two weeks — that's what makes the classic folded, fresh-from-the-womb poses possible. After day 14, babies startle more and stay awake longer, and that particular softness starts to fade. I hold a handful of on-call dates open every month so you're never scrambling to book one.

How booking works

Five steps, starting before baby does

  1. 01

    Reserve your session

    Reach out early, even before baby arrives — this holds your due-date window on my calendar. No fixed date is needed; sessions are scheduled after baby arrives.

  2. 02

    Pay a $100 retainer

    A $100 non-refundable retainer is required to reserve your session date and will be applied toward your selected package. The remaining balance is due no later than 1 day before your session. Prefer to pay in full up front, or settling your balance? Use the second button — you enter the amount.

    Pay the $100 retainer Pay balance or full amount

    Baby arrives, you text me

    I confirm your session day within 24 hours.

  4. 04

    Camera, reflectors, and a few soft wraps — your home or birth center room, exactly as it is.

  5. 05

    Your gallery arrives

    A private online gallery, ready to view and download, within two weeks. Your sneak peek — one image, or a video reel when applicable — is sent the same day.
