Yes, yes I am. Let’s start planning for holiday photos!! I do mini sessions once a year for Christmas. It’s the holiday season before you know it. Two weeks before Christmas, you realize you wanted to do holiday photos, and even planned for it, but December came faster than you thought and you don’t even […]

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 […]

Choosing what to wear to your maternity session can be difficult! I love flowy maxi dresses that are comfortable and feminine. I’d stick with lighter, pastel colors. Floral patterns can be pretty, but be mindful of big bold patterns that can be distracting. Not everyone wants to wear a dress and if you don’t that’s […]

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! If you have other children that will be coming to the shoot, being outside gives them space to run around and then come back to the photo when they’re […]

I shoot newborns in studio, just the way they are, no props, no posing. I think babies already have so much personality on their own, and there is already so much to photograph! Baby toes, baby ears, baby fingers, whispy baby hairs. I get all the details. I don’t put babies in baskets or bowls. […]

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 […]
