There is a way to take your own, beautiful maternity self portraits at home with your phone. Tell the story of your growing belly for you.  Sometimes things are just for you.

Preparation for a newborn session with a family five is the most important part of our booking process. Your newborn will guide us between posing and lifestyle imagery- depending on their sleepiness or their alertness. The older siblings, depending on age, will be in an out of the frame, taking little breaks to play and wonder around the home to decompress.

That is the best part of having a photographer come to YOU when you have three children to manage. Their toys, their soothing activities, their private space to relax is right there. It takes a little bit of the pressure off and allows us to go with flow of the morning.

These sessions work together to tell your story- from belly bumps to holding newborns, a photographer can use your home in a way to create a story that unfolds easily from maternity to newborn.

The best way to bring pets into the session is to do it in a natural, safe way. This can include laying on the couch, snuggled in bed. We will use treats and toys to gain attention and interaction. Sometimes the morning can be a bit overwhelming for fur friends, so we want to make sure there is always a safe option B for when we need a little rest and calmness.
