Your baby will never be this little again- but the feeling of these early days together, the growing bond between you, the way your arms already feel like home, quiet moments with dad, brother, or sister. These are the moments we want to preserve. Whether this is your first, last, or somewhere in-between- as your Jacksonville newborn photographer, I strive to help you create timeless imagery that you can live-through.
JACKSONVILLE FL NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER
I offer in-home sessions that are baby-led, and deeply focused on storytelling. My approach is very gentle, quiet, and editorial. We will focus on documenting all of the details that are special to this season. The raw emotion, and joy that new life beings. We will do it honestly and artfully.
My newborn sessions are lightly guided, never forced. I'll offer direction when needed, but I will mostly observe and wait for those moments of emotion, connection, and moments in-between that tell the story of your family.
The sessions are mostly done in-home, but can also be done outdoors or in a studio. We will discuss your vision, styling, location, and the the type of images that are most important to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
While most clients I serve are local to Jacksonville, Fl- I am willing to travel up to 2 hours for an additional travel fee of $50 per hour!
Do you travel?
This is a great question and an important one. My approach to sessions are very documentary. I like to artfully prompt and pose my families with movement. Don't get me wrong, sometimes a part of documentary sessions are looking at the camera and smiling because that is a natural thing to do, but most sessions are spent hanging out with your loved ones, cuddling and playing with one another, and really allowing the kids to lead the way. Especially if you have young littles, you will be highly disappointed if you have high expectations of them standing still and smiling at the camera. This creates a lot of stress on mama. Being in this season of having young ones, my approach takes the stress off and creates beautiful memories that are genuine to the season and the moments. If posed family images are what you're looking for, we may not be a good fit.
WILL YOU POSE US?
I do offer heavy styling assistance and guidance if wanted! I recommend booking enough in advance so that we can talk about your vision and styling the family. Location/wardrobe/planning all play a big role and heavily rely upon another in the outcome of your final images. But don't stress, I am here along the way to help with it all!
Do you offer styling?
Absolutely! In fact, I strongly encourage it. It really brings out the natural emotions, and comfortability of the session. Love ice cream? Let's have your session at an ice cream shop. Love playing sports? Let's have your session on a field and play soccer or football. Just love being at the beach? Let's have your session at the beach! Just want a relaxed session at any location or at home? I am all about artfully documenting your family, and if you have a vision for your session, we will make it happen!
can i plan a session around something my family loves to do?
Yes, if the family dog responds well to others in public, and the location allows for them, you can absolutely bring your dog. I recommend bringing another person who won't be involved in the session to help watch the dog if you want images without them.
