Thoughtfully capturing the wonder of your newborn’s first days, in the place that means the most.
 
 
 
 
The first days with your newborn are a whirlwind of tender moments, quiet awe, and a love so deep, it’s hard to put into words.
You don’t need a perfectly tidy home or a perfectly sleeping baby. I’m here to capture the real, unposed moments—those tiny hands, gentle snuggles, and the love that fills the room. My approach is relaxed and natural, so you can fully embrace this special time without worrying about the little details.
 
You don’t have to worry about what to do—I’ve got you covered every step of the way! My goal is to make you feel completely comfortable and confident, and I’ll guide you with gentle posing and prompts that highlight your natural connection.
We’ll take our time, and I'll capture the in-between moments—those sweet, quiet times like nursing or soothing your newborn—that might seem ordinary but are the true heart of your family’s story.
Once you’ve booked your session, I’ll send over a questionnaire to get to know your family better. This allows me to prepare ahead of time and know exactly how to guide your family during our session to best tell your story.
No guesswork will be needed as you plan, to keep you informed and feeling confident, I’ll send helpful emails leading up to the session. You’ll also have access to my client closet (for mom) and receive styling guidance for everyone to ensure you all look and feel your best.
During our time together, I’ll offer gentle prompts and natural poses that suit your family and home, always following baby’s lead so no one feels rushed or stressed.
Let go of expectations and embrace whatever unfolds. I’ll capture those in-between moments—nursing, diaper changes, soothing your little one—along with creating comfortable, flattering images of your family together. These photos will help you remember this special time and celebrate your new little blessing.
You get all the best images - These are your memories! I want you to have each and every one of them without the pressure to sit and narrow down a few favorites.
I work with a professional print lab to offer high-quality canvases, albums, and prints that will become family treasures. You can easily access a personalized store through your gallery.
You've taken the step of investing in newborn pictures, don't let those precious memories get lost in a sea of photos in your phone's gallery, they deserve to be displayed in your home where you can enjoy them on a daily basis.
Frequently Asked Questions
We will use your due date as a placeholder on my calendar, but I make sure to block off a couple of weeks around that date. My own babies have each been almost two weeks late, so I well know that babies don't always come exactly on their due date!
Once your baby is born, just let me know (or have dad let me know!) and then I can send you a few date suggestions that you can pick from.
Typically, the most common time for newborn photos is within the first two weeks. Babies are usually the sleepiest at this time, and everything is so fresh and new!
However, if you want to wait until baby is a little older, I am happy to do a newborn session for babies up to 6 weeks old. They might be less sleepy, but they are more interactive with parents and siblings, and they are often less fussy at this stage.
Since my posing style is very natural, (I don't do wrapping or putting baby in a bucket) baby doesn't need to be asleep in order to be photographed.
If the weather is good, we could definitely do an outdoor newborn session. It is a different vibe than an in home session, but still beautiful!
(Alternatively, I would suggest doing an in home newborn session, and then booking an outdoor family session for when baby is a little older.)
Typically, a newborn session lasts anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half. We have plenty of time to not be rushed so that neither you nor baby are stressed.
As we plan your session, I will send you a guide that offers some specific guidance on colors and textures that are recommended for your family's photos, but I also help provide specific suggestions to help coordinate your entire family as well.
Some moms really like to go through poetic route of a long flowy dress, other moms want to opt for a more casual look. Choosing coordinating light colors (neutrals are a great option!) with lots of pretty texture is really pretty.
You're not on your own - I am here to help style you and your little family whether it's with a dress from my client closet, or with a more casual style.
Check out my client closet to see the options that I have available. We can plan a pre-session try on appointment, or I can bring a few of your favorite options to your home and you can choose the one you like best to wear for your session.
Booking is super simple. Reach out via my contact form or check out my investment page first. Talk to you soon!
I finish each image with a tasteful and natural edit that complements your home. To preserve the authenticity of your images, I don't employ extensive airbrushing or body alterations with Photoshop.
I know you are excited to see your photos! I love getting to open up your photos on my computer after a session. Seeing families happy together and snuggled up just melts me!
I'll get you a little sneak peek in just a couple of days, the rest of your gallery will be ready within a few weeks!
I travel to Maryville, Farragut, Oak Ridge, West Knox areas and more! Travel is included in your session fee, provided that it is within 30 miles of zipcode 37923.
During your session, I encourage you to embrace physical touch to make each pose feel natural and create deeper connection.
If baby needs soothing, feeding, or a change of pose, I’ll adjust things calmly so that neither you nor baby feel stressed.
Big brothers and sisters are adjusting to changes, too! I give them plenty of attention and invite them to help with baby, capturing their genuine interactions and then let them run off to play so that they are not frustrated or tired with pictures.
Pssst... Hey, Mama!
 
I love being able to document the beauty of pregnancy for you, and capture some last family photos before your newest arrival enters the world.
Using the same photographer as both your maternity and newborn photographer simplifies the process for you, helps keep the style and edits cohesive between sessions, and (most importantly) allows you to build a relationship with your photographer as you invite them in to document this special time of life.
I have a special package just for you!
I’m beyond excited to help you preserve these precious early moments of your newborn’s life!
