Birth Stories
From the first fluttery kicks to the moment they wrap their tiny fingers around yours, this chapter of your life is full of once-in-a-lifetime moments. And while it might feel like you’ll remember every detail forever, babies have a way of growing faster than we can process.
That’s where I come in.
Whether you’re counting down the weeks, adjusting to life with a newborn, or chasing a wobbly first step — these are the days worth documenting. With every session, my goal is to help you freeze time just a little. To give you photographs that bring you back to how it felt — not just how it looked.
Let’s create the kind of keepsakes that only grow more meaningful as time marches on.
Because the days are long... but the years are gone in a blink
Types of Sessions
Maternity
Newborn
Milestone
Newborn sessions are a cozy, slow-paced celebration of your new little love. We’ll capture all the snuggly details — sleepy yawns, tiny toes, and your new favorite role: parent. Sessions can be done in-studio or at home, with plenty of time for feeding, breaks, and real moments.
Best scheduled within the first 7-10 days after birth.
You’re creating life — that’s kind of a big deal. Whether you’re feeling glowy and goddess-like, or just really proud of what your body is doing, maternity sessions are all about honoring this moment before everything changes. You’ll look back and be so glad you documented the anticipation, the connection, and that sweet calm before the chaos.
Best scheduled between 28–34 weeks.
That first year flies by. Milestone sessions are a great way to capture how much they’ve grown — from tummy time and sitting up, to standing, walking, and cake-smashing their way into toddlerhood. These sessions are fun and full of personality.
Popular milestone ages: 6 months (sitter), 9 months (crawling/standing), 12 months (walking, first birthday).
