Sweet Dreams...

Little 7 day old cutie...



No, Grandma, it's not gas!

She was just happy to have her picture taken :) This baby girl was a pleasure to photograph. I had the honor of photographing mom's wedding, then 9 months(!) later their firstborn, and now their newest addition. Congrats on a beautiful family! Your gallery will be ready very soon.

Sneak Peak...


Meet lovely baby "L". Is there anything cuter than a baby snuggled in a basket? I think not.

Website under construction...

As you may have noticed, my website is still under construction. I thought it would be helpful to post information on rates, details, and sneak peeks here. Check back often for updated info and photos!

FAQ

1. When should I schedule a newborn session? The sooner the better! The younger the baby is, the more likely he is to sleep peacefully throughout the session, allowing us to mold him into various poses. Less than two weeks is best; ideally, the first week is even better. A limited number of sessions are photographed each week; to be guaranteed a session I recommend pre-scheduling your shoot even before baby has arrived. When should I schedule a maternity session? Around 35-38 weeks is recommended. Too early and you may not look pregnant, too late and you may be uncomfortable during the session.

2. How many proofs will we receive? Sessions will yield an average of 20 to 30 images, depending upon your baby's mood that day. Each photo is carefully edited; baby acne, scratches, and other blemishes are retouched, and other adjustments are made as necessary. Mini sessions (maternity) will yield approximately 10-15 proofs.

3. When will our photos be ready? Approximately one week after your session you will be sent a link to your own password protected online gallery from which to order. The gallery will remain live for 7 days. Visit as often as you like, and feel free to share your gallery with family and friends. After placing your order, you may expect your photos within two weeks.

Birth photography?!?

Yes, birth photography.

The birth of your child is such a monumental, joyous occasion, yet many of us forget to take any photos. Dads, understandably, are usually both so excited and preoccupied, taking photos is often the last thing on their minds. I can count on one hand the number of photos I have from all 3 of my children's births. When I think back to their deliveries, unfortunately it's mostly a vague blur of events. Sadly, I have no photos of my husband holding my hand during labor, or the baby being placed on my chest after delivery, the cord cutting, or their wrinkly feet and tiny fingers.

I am now offering birth photography services so you can have all the events and emotions of the day captured worry free. My background as a newborn nurse, combined with my love for photography, are a perfect blend for birth photography. Your birth will be captured quietly and discreetly, and with the greatest care and sensitivity.

Due to the unpredictable nature of birth , I cannot guarantee 100% that I will be available for the delivery. If birth photography sounds like something you may be interested, please call for more details.
