I believe that each family is unique & should be photographed with authenticity- meaning you won’t find me handing you props, forcing smiles on your faces, or waiting for everyone’s eyes to meet my camera before I snap the photo.  In fact, my most favorite moments are the ones I capture when everyone is just being themselves, whether they are looking my direction or not.  Those types of photos convey the realness of life that I long to capture- the beautiful, sometimes-messy, genuine moments.  I want you to feel something when you look through your photographs, and I want you to see yourselves for the beautiful, unique souls that you are.

My photography style generally leans heavily on the fine art side as I tend to gravitate towards moody black and white images & grain-enhanced filmy colors.  What can I say?  I love the convenience of digital cameras, but my heart is set on the look of film.  🙂

Newborn Storytelling Sessions– $325
– Includes 1-2 hour session in your own home (Don’t stress about your home being magazine-ready.  You’ve got a newborn for goodness sake-  Let me handle it!  😉  Besides, your home will barely be visible in the photos.  But if you *have* to do anything, just tidy up the nursery or a bedroom, and we’ll be set.)
-Photographs will be documentary-style* as I will capture your family going through the motions of all that beautiful newborn-baby stuff.  (i.e. diaper changes, sink baths, rocking, cuddling, swaddling, and feeding.)

*Note: I do not take posed newborn photos with props, backdrops, etc.
