About a week before your session we'll discuss clothing choices, your baby's schedule, how to prep your home and any last minute ideas you may want to consider.

It's session day and you have everything you need to enjoy the experience! We'll spend the next couple of hours documenting your beautiful new family through lightly posed portraits, gently guided play and the quiet moments that unfold naturally in between.

How does an in home Lifestyle session work?
Lifestyle Sessions are a mix of documentary and guided artistic imagery all done in the comfort of your home. They focus on baby but can also include sibs, parents and pets. I prefer simple, more natural poses and very few props. I strive to give you both beautiful and unique artwork for your home as well as memories of those first few special weeks getting to know your little one.
What time of day is best for my Session?
Newborn Sessions are best scheduled between 10am and 2pm when the light in your home is at it's best.
What’s the best time to have a session with a newborn?
The ideal time for your Newborn Session is one to three weeks after birth when your little one is still nice and sleepy and easier to swaddle but many clients opt to wait until 3 mo to get more interactive pictures with their infant. Sessions are usually booked in the third trimester and a date is finalized after birth.
are digital images included?
Digital Images and professional print products are purchased separately through the Collections in your gallery store.
how do i prep my home for my session?
You'll be given a Session Guide that will walk you through everything you need to know.
Is there a minimum product purchase?
No. I love what I do and it's my hope that if you love your images, you will want to purchase them. Each Collection includes a set number of Digitals and Fine Art Prints with the option for additional A La Carte ordering.
Do you bring props?
No. I have a few simple items I use to safely pose your newborn but it is always my intention to use natural poses and items that have meaning to you and your family.
