This teeny, tiny boy wasn’t sure how he felt about posing for pictures, but what guy comes to the studio willing to do that?!  Conway was a trooper and his parents (and puppies) love him so much!

This sweet little face decided she was going to sleep right through her session!  While we strive to get newborns nice and tired for their newborn sessions, to get them in those sweet little poses, it doesn’t always happen – for the entire session!  Callie, thanks for being a great model!  Maybe you can call […]

I’ve been working with this sweet family for about four years now and each time a new sibling comes into this world, I love their mom’s photo ideas!  Check out these shirts she made them: “The Original, The Remix, The Encore, and Mic Drop!”  I guess that means no more babies?!

I love newborn boy sessions because creating sets is a little more challenging and makes me consider new themes and ideas!  I love the look of a clean, neutral background, but I also love the statement of a dark, dramatic photo set!  Either will look great in any client’s home!

Sweet little Teddy arrived over a month early, and was so tiny when he came in, almost two weeks after his brith!  He didn’t care what we did – he slept through it all!  This isn’t always the case with newborn sessions, since they are unpredictable, but when you get a tired baby, the results are amazing!

Baby Gwen’s big brother Emric was so sweet with his new sister.  I can’t wait to watch these two grow together – I’ve never had a two-year-old agree to lay by his newborn sister and give her lots of kisses!  It made my day….and gave me a little baby fever!  Congrats to this wonderful family!!

You may remember this family from a blog post last spring. Luke and his dogs were so awesome to work with!  This family added even more cuteness this spring!  Sweet Baby Dylan is so small, with a ton of hair, and her big brother already adores her!  I’m sure the bulldogs do, too!

Photo Tips

With unlimited options for newborn photography, Pinterest isn’t helping a hormonal pregnant mom, make these decisions easily!  There are many factors that go into planning the perfect newborn photo session, and sometimes the comfort of a client’s home, helps them to feel more relaxed days after the birth of a child.  On the other hand, some new parents are ready to get out of the house for a little break!

Baby Davis had a great newborn session and his parents were open to whatever we had in mind! I love a clean white backdrop for newborn-family photos and it worked perfectly with this family’s color scheme. Big sister, Allison, was such a good listener, so getting her to hold her baby brother wasn’t an issue! Congrats to […]

I have always had a love for art and storytelling. Photography allows me to combine my journalism background and my artistic point-of-view, which has become my dream career!

I am a wife, mom, and small business owner. On the days when I'm not at the studio, you can find me at home, editing, busy with my boys, or maybe redecorating my house, because the artsy-side of my mind just doesn't stop!
