She’s done our family shoots each year and I’ve hired her 3 times for brand shoots for my company.

Planning early ensures availability on our schedule and allows us to photograph each milestone at the perfect time.
Maternity sessions are ideally scheduled between 24–32 weeks, when your bump is beautifully defined, early pregnancy symptoms have passed, and you are still comfortable moving into flattering, supported poses.
Newborn sessions are best held during the first 8–14 days, when your baby is naturally sleepy, easily and safely posed, and you both are ready to venture out for a calm, guided experience in the studio. We reserve your spot based on your due date, but we know babies don’t always follow the plan. We will work with you to find a day that aligns with their actual arrival date.
