The days following the arrival of a baby can feel overwhelming.

You may be tired.

You may feel like you're still finding your footing.

That's okay.

You do not need to arrive feeling perfectly rested or put together.

Your only job is to love on your baby.

I'll guide the rest.

When you're ready to begin planning, I'm here to help every step of the way.🤍

** Newborn sessions are best photographed within the first three weeks after baby arrives while they’re still sleepy and curled up. Booking early helps ensure availability around your due date.**

Over the years, I’ve learned that the smallest details can make the biggest difference in how an image feels years from now — especially wardrobe and overall styling.

As my work continues to evolve, motherhood, maternity, and newborn sessions will remain at the heart of what I do, while family sessions will be approached with an even more intentional, seasonal & limited offer.

Thoughtfully chosen wardrobe, soft tones, and cohesive styling allow the focus to stay where it matters most — on your connection, your story, and the moments you’ll want to hold onto for generations.

Because of this, family sessions moving forward will include more styling guidance to help create imagery that feels natural, timeless, and beautifully connected to the vision and experience I want every client to walk away with.🤍

If family photos have been on your mind, now is a wonderful time to start planning.

**Fall family sessions are best secured in summer - Limited dates available- Sessions take place in Late August, September & Early October **

“There is something so incredibly beautiful about this season of waiting.

Maternity sessions are best secured in your second trimester and photographed between 28–34 weeks when your bump is beautifully visible.

These sessions are soft, relaxed, and focused on documenting the anticipation and connection before your world changes in the most beautiful way.✨”

A little reminder for anyone planning portraits with me this year ✨

Recommended booking timelines:
• Newborn → during pregnancy
• Maternity → second trimester
• Family sessions → 1–3 months ahead
• Fall sessions → book in summer
• Christmas minis → book in late fall

I only take a limited number of sessions each month to ensure every family & gallery receives the care and attention it deserves. 🤍

“Warm evenings, laughter, golden light, and genuine connection. ✨

Outdoor family sessions are photographed during sunset for that soft, dreamy light I’m known for.

These sessions are relaxed and child-led, allowing space for authentic moments and beautiful connection rather than stiff posing.

Fall family sessions are filling, with very limited sunset dates available each month.”

One day, these photographs will mean everything. Taking you back to this very season.

Motherhood sessions are about preserving connection - the way your little ones fit in your arms, the softness, the laughter, the love you feel when they look at you.

These sessions are intentionally simple and timeless so the focus always remains on your bond.

Summer motherhood sessions are currently booking for July and August, with limited studio dates available each month. ✨

The kindest words.

“Dena with New Leaf portraits did such an amazing job. She was incredibly professional, creative and talented. The safety she took with our little babies was beyond what we could’ve asked for. HIGHLY recommend working with Dena.”

Creating beautiful photographs matters deeply to me, but creating an experience where families feel comfortable, seen, and cared for matters just as much.

Thank you for trusting me with your memories.🤍

Those tiny details don’t stay tiny for long. 🤍

Newborn sessions are best booked during pregnancy, with sessions photographed within the first three weeks after baby arrives.

My studio is designed to feel calm, relaxed, and that at home feel - so you can simply settle in and soak up these fleeting moments while I preserve them for you.

June has only a couple session dates remaining, and summer due dates are now booking into July and beyond.

If you’re expecting and dreaming of soft, heartfelt newborn imagery, now is the perfect time to reserve your session. ✨

A little out of office note 🤍

From May 30th – June 10th, I’ll be stepping away to spend some much deserved time with my family, rest, and soak in this season of life a little more slowly.

While I’m away, I’ve scheduled a few posts to continue sharing beautiful sessions, helpful booking information, and inspiration with you all while I unplug for a bit. ✨

All inquiries and messages will be responded to by June 12th once I’m back in the office. As well as touch base with those who have sessions booked in June.

Before I log off, I just want to say thank you, truly. To every family who has supported my business, booked a session, sent an inquiry, shared my work, and filled my new studio space with so much love already… I am so grateful. 🤍

I can’t wait to create more beautiful memories with your families when I return. ✌✨

A tiny cap, a big milestone, and so many sweet memories preserved forever. 🎓✨

Congratulations to all of this year’s kindergarten graduates — it was such an honor capturing this special season for your families.

Your galleries have officially been delivered, so be sure to check your inboxes (and junk folders just in case). I truly cannot wait for you to relive these moments through my lens. 🤍
