I recommend scheduling your maternity session between 28-36 weeks into your pregnancy.
For newborn sessions, these can take place anytime from the hospital to 1-2 months after birth, though I find that 2-3 weeks after the baby arrives is ideal. I like to schedule these sessions between 8 and 12 PM, as this is when your baby is typically awake and more alert. I also received the Tdap vaccine in May 2024 to ensure a safe environment for your little one. -
Lifestyle newborn sessions are heartwarming and candid photography experiences that take place in the comfort of your home.

I do not provide props for newborn sessions, but I encourage parents to gather any personal items they’d like to include, such as soft blankets, favorite toys, or special outfits. Items like a cherished family heirloom or a custom-made swaddle can add even more meaning and personality to your photos!
