Slow, cozy newborn sessions at home, on film and digital for the days you swear you'll never forget.
For documenting the newest version of your whole family.
Portland Newborn Photography
You promise to yourself, that you will remember all of it..
The weight of them on your chest, the lip smacking for milk in their sleep, the way they curl when you pick them up and somehow your older kid looks so much bigger, seemingly over night.
And then 3 years go by and it all gets a little soft around the edges.
I'm a mom, gardener, athlete and lover of slow mornings and embracing the every day, ordinary life. I come to your home, open up the curtains and photograph your family exactly as you are right now- likely a little tired but very much in love with your newest addition to the family.
In Your home
Where the best of life happens. Home is where love grows. No need to pack a diaper bag, load everyone up or even have a spotless home. We will find a room that is comfortable for everyone and with the best light. Its the perfect place to document this season because one day your kids will grow up and remember that this was home and real.

room to experience presence
I'll guide you into the best light and step back and let your family just enjoy being together and the precious newborn bubble. I will provide gentle prompts as needed. Do not worry about needing to take a break to feed baby or change, we will go at your family's pace.
Made to be held
Every collection includes artwork. A gallery on your phone is lovely but a beautiful album on a coffee table will be revisited over the years to come.

Before we even meet, I'll send you a full client experience guide- so you show up feeling prepared, not overwhelmed. I also offer hair and makeup recommendations and can connect you with local professionals if you want that extra layer of polish.
During our session I'll guide you gently through the whole thing. No stiff posing, no stress. Just a relaxed environment where real moments have room to happen- and I also incorporate 35mm film into every session for that warmth and timelessness that digital alone can't replicate.
After your session, your hand-edited gallery will be delivered to a private online gallery within four weeks. Then we'll do an ordering appointment together- I'll walk you through every step of selecting your print products so nothing ends up sitting forgotten in a download folder.
The experience
A seamless, laid back experience from first hello to final gallery
The Process
Intial Inquiry
Reach out in your second trimester and I will learn more about you and your family and what you are looking for. We will also talk details, pricing and what to expect!
Planning & Consultation
Once your session is reserved, the fun begins! You will receive thoughtful, individualized guidance and everything you need to feel confident, cared for and ready for the experience ahead. Once baby arrives, we will schedule a finalized date within 5-10 days of birth.
Session Time
This is where the real magic happens. The only thing you need to do is show up and love on your family. I approach sessions with a mix of gentle direction and letting life happen in between the moments. These sessions tend to be around 90 minutes, leaving plenty of time for feedings, diaper changes and snack breaks. My hope is that this experience allows you to feel present with your beautiful family.
Gallery Delivery
Within 4-5 weeks, your hand edited gallery will land in your inbox. You will be able to download all images in high resolution, select your included fine art prints, and begin planning how to bring these moments into your home.

I work with a small number of families each season so spots fill up faster than you might expect. If you have a specific date or season in mind, I'd recommend reaching out sooner rather than later. That said, if you're hoping for something soon, it never hurts to ask. I'll always let you know what I have available.

Collections also include print products like a museum glass box of fine art prints and, depending on your collection, a linen album. I'll walk you through all of it.

Yes. I shoot both digital and 35mm film because I want your images to feel as timeless as the moments inside them. No trends, no filters that date themselves in two years. Film is available across session types and honestly, there is nothing more timeless than a film family portrait.
