*I've found the best time for maternity photos is typically between 28-32 weeks. By this time, you’ll have a beautiful belly without feeling too uncomfortable or risking baby making a surprise early appearance!
Maternity session
My approach to maternity photography is calm and guided, making sure you feel comfortable and radiant. I want you to feel confident, beautiful, and relaxed during our session.

Newborn sessions are typically best within the first 5-14 days after birth, while babies are still very sleepy and curl easily. However, if you’ve already passed that window- don’t worry! I photograph babies of all ages, and older newborns often bring more eye contact and personality.
If you’ve already booked during pregnancy, you’ll simply reach out after baby arrives so we can finalize your date.

- Baby alone (swaddled, unwrapped, detail shots)
