Maternity photos are a way to show what life has been and what you are waiting for, in a natural, intimate way.  We start with lifestyle maternity photography in your home, on the porch, or around the yard.  Siblings and pets are around and we are collecting slices of your life as it is.  The second part of our in home maternity photo session, we show off your belly and get lots of skin on skin.  This is time for woman to feel sexy, celebrated and loved by their partner. 

Hands down, the best part of your photographer coming to your home in the winter is that you get to stay cozy, warm and relaxed.  There is no braving the winter cold with a new baby and no stress of traveling in inclement weather.  Grab a tea, relax in bed for a bit longer and let the photographer come to you.

Our goal with natural newborn photography is to have a true representation of this time in your life.  For that reason, I encourage most winter newborn Mamas to go the more warm, casual route for their photography session.

The best part of taking your newborn pictures in your own home is that you can include your four legged babies, too. Watching the bond between your fur baby and your new baby unfold can be the most beautiful thing. That is why puppies, dogs, cats, kitten and all family pets are always welcome to join the photos. In the session below, you’ll find these two goldens loving every minute of their maternity and newborn debut.

My entire booking process is digitally sound and efficient. It will save you time and brain power, I promise. Through a series of links, videos and imagery, you will be able to easily find the answer to most of your questions through my Welcome Guide.
