One Newborn Invitation Per Month
I intentionally limit availability so I can remain fully present — for babies, parents, and my own family.
A Calm, Baby-Led, Artwork-Focused Experience. I offer one newborn invitation per month, and availability varies.
If this feels aligned, I invite you to reach out and we can see if it’s a good fit.
Newborn photography should feel calm, unhurried, and safe — not rushed or overwhelming.
My approach is entirely baby-led, allowing time for feeding, soothing, and connection. Sessions are designed to feel supportive and relaxed, with a focus on creating timeless imagery and printed artwork that becomes part of your family’s everyday life.
This experience is for families who value quality, craftsmanship, and meaningful artwork over volume or trend-driven imagery.
Each session comes with attention to comfort, safety, and detail and includes guidance from planning through artwork selection, with a focus on timeless imagery and heirloom-quality pieces for your home.
This experience is designed for families who value connection, craftsmanship, and a calm environment during those fleeting early days.
I work slowly and intentionally, prioritizing your baby’s cues and creating images that are both beautiful and enduring. From planning your session through selecting finished artwork, you’ll be supported every step of the way.
This is not a high-volume studio experience. It is personal, attentive, and designed to honor this fleeting season.
From the very beginning, sessions are designed with printed artwork in mind.
Most families I work with are looking for a small number of meaningful pieces — artwork that lives on their walls and becomes part of their home, rather than images that remain on a screen.
I guide you through selecting artwork that fits your space, your style, and the story you want to tell.
The newborn session experience begins at $395.
Artwork is purchased separately, with most families investing between $2,500 and $5,000 in finished pieces for their home.
