A newborn lifestyle session at home is all about capturing what life at home with your family is like. These parents were worried that big brother wouldn’t last for very long and that’s a common worry I hear from parents. There is no need to worry though. I play games, let kids be and don’t […]

If you are concerned your house doesn’t have enough natural light, a studio newborn session at the Lumen Room is a great alternative and available to rent by the hour. I’ve shot this family twice, so I was excited when they contacted me to shoot this newborn session for their little girl. I could not […]

If there is one thing I’ve been consistent about as a parent, it’s been reading books my favorite children’s books to my kids. I’ll admit, we were those people who read to our kids when I was pregnant. Yep, my husband read the same book each night to my belly from about six months pregnant […]
