HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL WE RECEIVE?
Not in the traditional sense. I’m not really drawn to stiff, heavily posed family portraits, and I don’t offer extended-family sessions outside of weddings and elopements.
That said, I’m always happy to photograph returning clients as their families grow, especially if they want something more natural and documentary. Think a cozy morning at home, a family date night, baking together, playing outside, or just spending time together while I follow along and photograph what it actually feels like to be your family.
Parenthood is still where most of my family work lives, but I love getting to continue documenting the people I’ve already worked with as their stories grow and change. Returning clients are always welcome to make a special request, and chances are I’ll be happy to say yes.

Absolutely. Parenthood is about more than one person, and the people or pets who are part of this season belong in the story too.
Partners, children, and pets are welcome to be included at no additional cost, whether they’re part of the whole session or just a portion of it. We can build the experience around the connections that matter most without turning it into a stiff family portrait session.
The focus will still stay on the pregnancy, baby, and the relationships growing around this chapter.

My newborn work is rooted in lifestyle and documentary photography, so the focus is usually on your baby with the people who love them, in a space that already feels like home.
I do not build the session around elaborate props, studio setups, or fantasy scenes. Instead, I look for the real connection, little details, and quiet moments that are already there and turn those into images that still feel beautiful, intentional, and worthy of living on your walls.
If you want a few simple portraits of baby on their own, wrapped in a swaddle or photographed in a natural setup, we can absolutely do that too. The heart of the session, though, is your baby as part of your family and this chapter of your life together.

If you’re hoping for photographs during labor, immediately after baby arrives, or within those first couple of days, my Birth Stories experiences may be a better fit.
Postpartum Parenthood sessions are slower and more settled, usually photographed during baby’s first few weeks and centered around connection, newborn life, and what this new chapter feels like at home.
Birth Stories are for the moments closer to arrival, whether you want the birth itself documented, the first hours afterward, or a Fresh Forty-Eight session during baby’s first couple of days.
If you decide a Birth Story is the better fit, you can still document your pregnancy beforehand. Birth Story clients receive preferred pricing on Prenatal Parenthood sessions at $450.

That’s completely okay. These sessions are built around real family life, and real life does not always look calm or perfectly cooperative.
Sometimes a break becomes part of the story. I may keep photographing if I notice a sweet, funny, or meaningful moment unfolding naturally. I’ve documented plenty of crying, frustration, and full-on toddler emotions that ended up becoming some of my clients’ favorite photographs because those moments were part of what that season actually felt like.
That said, I also know when to put the camera down. If something starts to feel overwhelming, scary, or like everyone genuinely needs a minute away from being photographed, we’ll take the break off-camera.
And if you ever want me to stop photographing during a break, just tell me. You never have to worry about hurting my feelings. My brain is usually looking for the little moments worth preserving, but your comfort and your child’s comfort always come first.

There is no one right way to become a family, and you do not need to fit a traditional pregnancy story for your experience to belong here.
For my Parenthood sessions, Prenatal simply means the chapter before baby arrives. You do not need a bump, and you do not need to be the person carrying the pregnancy. We can document intended parents preparing the nursery while a surrogate carries, an IVF or donor-conception journey, an adoption waiting period, ultrasound appointments, letters or keepsakes, getting the house ready, or simply the two of you soaking in the fact that your family is about to change.
The same goes for Postpartum. You do not have to have physically given birth to book one. That experience is about the first weeks of becoming a family with your new baby. Adoptive parents, intended parents through surrogacy, queer couples, non-gestational parents, and families who needed reproductive assistance are just as welcome to have those early days documented.
Your session might look like decorating the nursery together, making breakfast at home while baby sleeps nearby, feeding and cuddling on the couch, taking your first little family outing, or simply spending time together while I photograph the connection that is already forming.
Whether your story includes adoption, IVF, surrogacy, donor conception, fertility treatment, or another path entirely, we’ll build the experience around your actual story, not force it into someone else’s version of parenthood.

Start by reaching out and telling me a little about where you are in this chapter and which experience you’re considering. We’ll talk through timing, what you’re hoping to document, and any questions you have before deciding what fits best.
Once you’re ready to move forward, your session is officially reserved with a signed agreement and retainer.
If you’re booking Bump to Baby, we’ll reserve your Prenatal session first and keep the Postpartum date flexible until baby arrives. You don’t need every detail figured out before booking. We’ll build the rest together as we go.

For a Prenatal session, I recommend reaching out earlier in pregnancy and planning the actual session for around 28 to 34 weeks. That tends to be the sweet spot where your belly is beautifully visible, but you are hopefully still comfortable enough to move around, walk a little, change positions, and actually enjoy being photographed.
There is no perfect week for everyone. First pregnancies may show a little later, while subsequent pregnancies or multiples may make an earlier session feel better. If you know you tend to get uncomfortable later in pregnancy, we can absolutely plan for the earlier side of that window.
For Bump to Baby, booking during pregnancy lets us reserve your Prenatal session first and leave the Postpartum date flexible around baby’s arrival.
For Postpartum, you’re welcome to reserve your session before baby is born or reach out afterward. These sessions are usually photographed during baby’s first few weeks, when you’ve had a little time to settle in but everything still feels brand new.
And if you’re already farther along than the “ideal” window, please don’t assume you missed your chance. Reach out anyway. If I have availability and you feel up for it, we can still create something beautiful.

You’ll receive a complete, carefully curated gallery of the strongest images from your experience. I don’t limit your gallery to a preset number of photographs, and I don’t hold back finished images so you have to purchase more afterward.
The final gallery size naturally varies depending on the length of coverage, the environment, the pace of the day, and what genuinely unfolds in front of the camera. Even two experiences with the same amount of coverage can unfold completely differently.
Rather than photographing or editing toward an arbitrary number, I focus on telling your story as it actually happened. If an image adds to your story and meets my quality standards, you’ll receive it. My goal is to give you a gallery that feels complete, not leave you wondering where the rest of your photographs are.
