“Her editorial style is gorgeous. She captured what it's really like to bring a second baby home. The chaos, the moments of peace, the exhaustion, the joy. I look forward to these photos hanging on our walls for years to come.”

The Sessions

Let’s document your newborn from shortly after their birth through the first year and beyond. My newborn sessions take place at home, where everyone in the family feels the most comfortable and where you can easily follow the natural rhythms of life with a new baby. I love to include the whole family, whatever that looks like for you (parents, siblings, pets).

Maternity Sessions

Expectant mothers are absolutely gorgeous. It’s the perfect time to capture the special time right before your baby is born. It’s also a great time for us to get to know one another before I get to meet and document the early days with your new little one!

In-Home Newborn Sessions

I visit you at home sometime within the first month of your baby’s birth. Home is where everyone feels most comfortable. It’s easy to access supplies, break for a diaper change, feed older kids snacks, and for everyone to feel at ease.

Already had your baby and worried it’s too late for a newborn session? It’s never too late to photograph your little peanut during their first year. Whether they’re five weeks, two months, or even six or nine months old, they’re still the tiniest they will ever be in the grand scheme of things. If  you’re worried that it’s too late for a typical “newborn” session, trust me, it’s not. You’ll never regret capturing the beautiful age your baby is right now.

Baby’s First Year Milestone Bundles

My most popular package, the Milestone Bundle includes a full year of sessions to document your baby’s world premiere! We can structure your sessions any way you like but here’s a common breakdown:

  • Newborn Session • to document the tiny first days of your baby’s life • Ideally within the first month

  • 6 Months • to capture all the cuteness of this stage, when your baby will be smiling, giggling, sitting up, rocking tummy time, and so much more!

  • 1 Year • to cap off a year of growth and joy — often includes a birthday cake smash!

Olympia WA At Home Cake Smash Session

One Year Old Cake Smash Sessions

Everyone loves to watch one-year-olds destroy perfect little cakes. The messier the better. A cake smash is a super fun way to cap off their first year in the world!

So what does a First Birthday Cake Smash Session look like? It’s a storytelling family photography session with half of my time dedicated to an epic cake smash at the end. Sessions are usually held at home (often in the backyard), where your baby can really get themselves messy and where it’s simpler to get them cleaned up.

Inquire about my Baby’s First Year Milestone Bundle to include a six-month session in between the Newborn and One Year Milestones or to do a Cake Smash + Family Session as a stand-alone photography session.
