The first days (slash weeks, slash months) at home with a newborn are an absolute blur.

This is why in-home newborn sessions have such a special place in my heart!

These tiny humans grow faster than we realize, especially when you're busy downing your third cup of cold coffee and doing your best to remember what day it is. Trust me when I say it'll give you alllll the feels when you look back at these sweet little images of your little one's teeny-tiny features once they've grown.


I'll walk you through what to expect prior to your session to make the process as seamless as possible for you and your family.

Once I arrive, your number one job is to snuggle your baby - I'll take care of the rest!
