One day you’ll be rocking them to sleep, and before you know it, you’ll be looking back at photos wondering how they were ever this little.

Newborn sessions are one of my favorite things to photograph because they freeze a season that changes almost overnight. The sleepy stretches, the tiny details, the proud big siblings, and the overwhelming love that fills your home during those first few weeks.

No packing diaper bags. No rushing out the door. No studio stress. Just your family exactly as you are during one of the most special seasons of life.

I only take a limited number of newborns each month, so if you’re expecting or recently welcomed your little one, send me a message and let’s get you on the calendar. 🤍

There is something so special about bringing your newborn home and settling into the place where your story will unfold. The nursery you spent months preparing, the rocking chair you’ll spend countless nights in, and the tiny details you’ll want to remember long after this season has passed.

For a limited time, my in-home lifestyle newborn sessions are on sale for $550 (regularly $750).

These sessions are relaxed, baby-led, and take place in the comfort of your own home. No packing diaper bags. No rushing out the door. Just genuine moments with your growing family captured where life is happening right now.

There’s something about this space that just feels like home… warm light, soft textures, and the kind of quiet moments you never want to forget 🤍

I’m opening up a handful of Mother’s Day Minis May 2nd, and I truly can’t think of a more perfect setting to celebrate you.

Because no matter what your motherhood looks like right now…
whether you’re growing your first baby, chasing toddlers, holding your big kids a little tighter, or standing in a season that feels tender and in-between… you are still a mom. And you deserve to be seen, celebrated, and remembered in this chapter.

These sessions are short, sweet, and full of intention. The kind where you get to step in front of the camera for once and just be with your babies 🤍

Spots will be limited, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to get in the photos… this is it ✨

There are some sessions you walk into and you just know… this is going to stay with you forever 🤍

This Fresh 48 was one of those.

Big sibling walked in, eyes full of curiosity, and met their baby brother for the very first time. And just like that, everything changed. The room filled with so much love, laughter, a few happy tears, and that quiet kind of awe that comes with “we’re really a family of four now.”

Mom was soaking it all in… holding her babies, feeling all the emotions at once, the kind you can’t put into words but never want to forget. Those first hours are a blur, especially in the postpartum haze, but they’re also some of the most meaningful moments you’ll ever experience.

The tiny details, the wrinkly hands, the way everyone looks at that new little life… it all deserves to be remembered exactly as it was.

Fresh 48 sessions will always have my heart. If you’ve ever thought about documenting those first moments, this is your sign 🤍
