Safety is my top priority during newborn sessions. I handle newborns with care, ensuring they are comfortable and secure at all times. I follow safe posing techniques and maintain a clean and sanitized environment. It's important to note that I take on more of a lifestyle approach with my posing. This means that my poses are natural and reflective of real-life moments, such as baby on the bed or mom and dad holding the baby. I do not take on an "Anne Geddes" approach, which involves elaborate poses or using props like buckets or baskets. My style focuses on capturing authentic and genuine moments that reflect the beauty of your family's story in a natural way.

Absolutely! I encourage scheduling a consultation to discuss your vision, preferences, and any special requests you may have for the session. This helps me tailor the session to your specific needs and ensures we capture the images you'll cherish forever.

As a fellow parent, I empathize with the challenges of caring for a newborn. If you and your baby have had a rough night and didn't get enough sleep, I am more than happy to reschedule the session for a time that works better for you. Your comfort and well-being are important to me, and I want to ensure you have the best experience possible.
