Lifestyle Collection – With Emma - $350
The Lifestyle Collection captures the baby and family in the comfort of their home environment. This session is more casual and focuses on you as a family, rather than the posed and prop photos you would see in the studio. Good, in-home natural lighting is necessary for this type of session. If requested, I will bring a few swaddles, matching accessories (headbands/hats) and usually one prop item, such as a basket. Photos will take place in the nursery, the living room, the master bedroom or a combination of your choice (as long as there is sufficient lighting). You can include siblings, the family dog, or even grandma or grandpa. We highly encourage you read the blog post regarding the difference between Lifestyle Sessions & Studio Sessions. You can find it here. This collection includes:
- 1-2 hour in-home session
- Prop pose, family & sibling shots, as well as photos of the nursery
- 25+ hand-edited digital images
- Private gallery to view and download your images
- Print Release of your digital images
- $50 print credit
- Scheduled 6-30 days after birth (these sessions are scheduled on weekdays)

Sweet & Simple with Lifestyle Mini Collection - With Sara - $525
The Sweet & Simple with Lifestyle Mini Collection is great for families who want a little bit of the studio posing and a little bit of the in-home session.

The Lifestyle Mini portion can include siblings, parents and even the family dog! This collection includes:

Beyond Baby Collection
If your baby is a little older than 6-21 days, don't worry! While we may not be able to capture some of the typical newborn “posed” images, we can still capture beautiful images of your new family. Examples are photos such as mom and dad holding the baby, siblings holding the baby and some simple baby-only shots. You may still choose the Sweet & Simple Collection, the Full Newborn Collection or the Lifestyle Collection. These sessions are scheduled Tuesday - Friday mornings.
Maternity Photography
There is nothing more beautiful than the glow of an expecting mother! I offer two options for maternity photos: studio and outdoor. These are best scheduled at 32-36 weeks, when you are still feeling good, not too swollen, but have a nice round belly!
