You have a 14-day window before your baby starts to rapidly change. This is a once in a lifetime experience.
We know this short time is valuable to you and we want you to have this time appreciating the little moments.
We will document this special time, so you get to be in the moment and live it. All of your needs will be taken care of by someone you can trust. All you have to do is enjoy this fleeting chapter with your baby.
Here's just a peek into a fraction of our client closet, brimming with options for your dream session, along with some beloved corners of the studio.
The studio
Booking
To book, fill out our contact form on the contact page. Michelle, our office manager, or Taylor will reach out to you.
The booking fee is due to reserve your spot. Depending on your session type- a makeup artist guide for easy scheduling, access to our client closet, multiple sets, studio & outdoor for maternity will be included. All sessions include styling & guidance, pre-consultation, all of our props, your gallery reveal, delivery of wall art and even refreshments!
Session details
Newborn sessions are booked based on your due date and we hard booked once baby arrives. We only take on a certain number of clients to guarantee availability.
A questionnaire will be sent to start customizing your session for all session types. It will cover your hopes and dreams for your session, location options*, backdrops, outfits, props, and what products you are interested in, if known.
You can send us photos of your home to help us get an idea of where your art will be placed. Every commission is designed with the family in mind. We will help guide you on which products fit your home best and find exactly what you're looking for.
Day of the session
The studio is very home-y and welcoming. We have a comfortable couch for the family to relax on. Snacks and drinks are in the seating area for you to enjoy. We also have a vanity area, restroom, bottle warmer and changing station. Once you arrive, Taylor will take care of everything.
Maternity sessions start with wardrobe design & consultation. This part is super fun! Our goal is to make the experience top notch and stress free for you. Everything you could need for your session, both maternity & newborn, is taken care of.

Do you travel for newborn sessions with all of your props?Yes! I do offer Newborn Sessions in my clients homes. Travel sessions do come with an extra fee of $350.
-
When is the best time to book a newborn session?While you are still pregnant! Your estimated due date will be recorded and you will be guaranteed availability for newborn photos in the first weeks of life.
-
How long is a newborn session?Plan for a session lasting 2-4 hours depending on how your baby feels. There may be outfit, prop, backdrop changes involved as well as feeding or soothing of baby that will take time between photos. There is absolutely no rush in my studio as you will be the only session scheduled for the day.
-
What do I need to bring?For newborn sessions, nothing is required. You may opt to bring a few small items such a hat, a toy, or a special blanket, but I also have everything we need to create beautiful and timeless portraits of your little one. Most of the session will be done with baby unclothed in wraps or knit items. For the family photos, I suggest wearing neutral colored shirts. The focus will continue to be on baby this way. We will also talk in advance about what will coordinate best for family images.
-
Should I bring daipers and milk?Yes, you should bring anything you would normally need for a day away from your home. Please bring an extra 50% more milk than you normally would give them to help put your newborn baby into a nice deep milky sleep for the photos. Breastfeeding parents, feel free to bring extra supply either frozen or chilled. There will be ample time during a newborn photo session for feeding, bonding and comforting your new bundle of joy. And if the session goes longer because we needed to work around the baby’s schedule, that’s okay as well.
-
What should my newborn wear?A lot of people ask me what to put their newborn babies in for photos. I have plenty of wraps for newborns and most newborns are photographed without clothes. If there is one special outfit passed down through the family, please contact me to work it into the session.
-
What if my baby cries alot?It's okay if your baby cries. I invite parents to sit and relax and allow me to try my methods to relax your baby and allow Baby to become familiar with me. This truly helps the process versus handing baby to mom when he cries a little. Of course if it is time to feed, you will be able to do that, but there are so many things little ones are trying to tell us when they make their noises and luckily I have had the experience to know if baby just needs to change position, soothe (bring a pacifier if you use one) or be changed. We will do what is right for him/ her.
