What to Expect Before Your First Newborn Session
1. Hair and Makeup
I know that being a new mom might be leaving you feeling a bit sleep-deprived. That’s why I offer professional hair and makeup services, so you can shine in front of the camera. After getting glammed up, you’ll put on your freshly steamed dress and be ready to snuggle up on your family!
2. Wardrobe Worries? Not Here
Don’t worry about what to wear for the session! I want to take all the stress away for you. In my client wardrobe, I have hand selected over 50 dresses to ensure you find the perfect one! My goal is to ensure you look your absolute best and feel comfortable throughout the session.
3. A Calm and Comfortable Atmosphere
My studio is more than just a photography space; it’s a sanctuary designed to cater to your needs and your baby’s comfort. You can expect a tranquil environment with soothing music and soft lighting, to help both you and your baby feel at ease.
4. Timing is Everything
To capture those adorable, sleepy moments when your baby is easily posed, we schedule your session within the first 10 days of your baby’s life. It’s during this time that your little one is most at ease, allowing us to create those timeless portraits you’ll cherish forever.

5. Soft Natural Lighting
I believe that the pure and organic qualities of natural lighting create the most stunning photographs. That’s why I use soft, natural light to capture the essence of your newborn, ensuring that each portrait is as beautiful as your baby.

I understand that newborns have their own schedule, which often includes breaks for feeding, soothing, and diaper changes. I’ll make sure that the session progresses at a comfortable pace for you and your baby.
7. Capturing Precious Moments
Our primary goal is to capture those real and raw moments that you can’t imagine not reliving. I’ll take a variety of photos, including family shots, mom and baby, dad and baby, siblings and baby, and individual portraits of your baby, along with close-up detail photos that highlight those tiny fingers, toes, and adorable expressions.
Your first newborn session is more than just a photography appointment; it’s a celebration of family and the beginning of a new chapter. I’m here to make it stress-free and enjoyable, ensuring you have the opportunity to relax and savor the moment.

newborn, maternity, and family photographer in phoenix arizona
My calling in life has always been to nurture and take care of people in whatever capacity that means. After spending years as a nurse taking care of patients, I felt my calling shift to motherhood photography after having my second child. I knew, without a doubt, that I could serve people just like I had as a nurse, but in a completely different way.
To me, I'm taking care of mothers in an unexpected way. Most people go into a newborn or family shoot feeling like they have to take care of everything: making sure baby and any other siblings have clothes and food and getting themselves dressed.
But, my clients come into their shoot feeling taken care of.
