Let it rain! Studio sessions are not affected at all by the rain. I use studio lights which consistently create light that looks like window light, regardless of what is going on outside.   Will it affect my outdoor session? Well, yes. : )  If you have an outdoor session scheduled, we can either reschedule or make it […]

Family photos can be super stressful. I have never ever heard a family say “yay! Time for pictures!!” And the stress already begins. All the way from what to wear, to just general crankiness about the entire thing. My best advice is to come and just have a good time. You already know that I […]

This family is where it all started. I was already shooting film. If you don’t know, I shoot weddings too, and I had already been incorporating film into my wedding work for a few years. For some reason, the idea of shooting a family session or gasp! a newborn session on film was so much […]

But can I shoot outside? Yes!! Every maternity session has the option of being shot in the studio or outside, it really depends on your preference!

Yes, you read that right – Newborn Twin Portraits! Twins!! So exciting!! It won’t come as a surprise that shooting newborn twin portraits take a bit more patience, and a bit more time than shooting just one baby. With one baby, I usually budget at most 2 hours for a session. With twins, it might […]

One of my top questions, “When is the best time to do newborn photos?” First off, let me just say: Congratulations! Your baby has arrived! And now I know you’d like to do some portraits of you new little nugget. The best time for newborn photos is in the first 2 weeks. I know this […]

After newborns, the eight month mark is my next favorite time to do portraits. It is right around that time that they can sit up, but they aren’t walking yet. They’ll play with their feet, wiggle their toes. At 8ish months, they definitely already have a personality, they’re laughing, trying to talk, and can read […]

Your baby is here!! Hooray!!!! And… you’ve been home for a week, you can’t remember the last time you brushed your hair, let alone got to sleep… How on Earth are you going to be ready for newborn photos!! Well, the answer is, you might not feel like a Goddess at your baby’s newborn session, […]
