Prep Your Home

Newborn sessions take place in your home. It’s the most natural way to capture this new season of your life. If you want to do them somewhere else, please let me know in advance and we can coordinate. I do offer studio sessions for an extra fee, if you do not want to take photos in your home.


My speciality is lifestyle photography, and I want to capture your life in the most natural way possible, but with the best light. When deciding what time to do your session be sure to notice when the light floods into certain rooms in your house. I almost always take photos in the baby's nursery and the master bedroom or spare bedroom.
