Baby
These individual sessions allow you to to document your baby at 3, 6, and 9 months (or whenever you see fit). I will focus on capturing every detail of your baby (little hands and feet, tendrils of hair, breast feeding if desired). Images of mama & baby are a priority in these sessions as I believe Mom makes the perfect backdrop for baby and your connection at this time is too important not to document. If you have a vision for your session- I want to help to bring that to life! Let's create something beautiful together.
Individual sessions are $550 each and last about 45 minutes (between getting baby ready and actual shoot time).
These sessions can be in studio, or in a location of your choosing (travel fee may apply).
$1,500 for Year in the Life Package | 3 portrait sessions (3-4 month session ($550 Value), sitter session ($550 Value), and one year session ($925 Value)

1st Birthday Photo Session
My take on a one year session.
Bring your baby to my minimalistic home studio and allow them to explore and play in the space while I capture every inch of them and their personality. Or let's go to their favorite spot to spend time (your home, park, anywhere and everywhere)
Baby can choose from my selection of wooden toys that offer a timeless feel.
Feel free to bring a cake for baby to smash and enjoy to finish the session with. Icing with dyes are not allowed in the studio- a naked cake, or small white frosted cakes is perfect. Or think outside the box and do fresh fruit, a donut, ice cream- whatever will bring your little one the most joy!
In studio sessions finishe with a baby bath time in the cutest little tub. Baby gets cleaned up from their cake smash and has the best time splashing while I take beautiful, timeless portraits of them.
You can also opt to do this session in a location of your choice, or to do the first part in studio and the second on my property outdoors to get two different vibes.

What to expect for an in studio baby photo session? (FAQ's)
When you come to my home studio you’ll come inside, up the stairs. We will get you and/or your little one settled. For milestones and one year portraits I almost always start with the baby being undressed. I’ll have different sets prepared, but the first is always white and minimalistic with the occasional wooden toy. You’ll be able to stay as close to baby as possible during the session. It can sometimes take a little time for a baby or child to feel relaxed and comfortable in the space, so don’t be nervous if they get fussy or clingy at first. I have different toys ready for them, fun music, and things like bubbles to help them relax. The best thing you can do during the session is to stay relaxed and remember we will get the shots you are looking for- they just need a little time to adjust. If the weather allows, we can do an outfit change and go outside for the second half of your session. This will give you variety in your gallery.
I highly prefer that mom would be in some of the portraits. Most moms will borrow something from my client closet, or bring something white/neutral to wear. In the event your baby is fussy I can use you as a backdrop while you are holding them, so it’s important that what you are wearing doesn’t alter the look of the session, or distract from the baby. If you will be borrowing from my client closet please make sure you bring a strapless bra with you.
If baby needs a break to drink or eat that is completely fine! It’s always better to take that break so baby’s needs are met instead of pushing through.
I have a curated wardrobe for baby milestones that is full of neutral options. Feel free to also bring any pieces you are wanting documented. I do ask that you would send me images ahead of time so I can make sure the room is set to compliment the look.
Once your session is complete, I will post a sneak peek within a couple days (as long as the media release is signed) and will complete all the edits within 3 weeks. Once you receive your gallery you’ll choose your favorites and inform me when final. After that, I send you the downloadable images. You can purchase prints at my print shop or a photo lab of your choice.
