You don't have to schedule your newborn session merely days after having a baby. Take some time adjust to your new sleep schedule (or lack thereof) and our team will take care of everything else. We help you choose what to wear and have our hair and makeup team arrive at your home before your shoot so that you feel and look your best.

My first camera was a Costco Canon Rebel - my husband was in grad school, we had just had a baby and the $450 + tax would literally break the bank.
I swore to my husband I would make this little canon rebel pay for itself because I could sell more on Etsy with good pictures. I just knew I needed to invest in myself and my business because even then I know that visually compelling images would help me connect with my audience. So armed with a groupon and my new DSLR I learned to take pictures for my business.
And you know what? It did work!
However, I also quickly discovered I ❤️ taking pictures 📸 more than my I liked making crafts on Etsy and so here I am 13 years helping my clients create scroll stopping images that communicate their brands visually and I couldn't be happier to do so.

Do you feel overwhelmed by planning newborn photos?
We promise we can help capture beautiful pictures of your baby (even if they are older than 2 weeks). It's not too late! And....
Feeling too tired or not like yourself?
We get it and that's why we created our secret weapon, the glamsquad. Our hair and make up team will take of everything so that you feel confident and beautiful in photos with your baby.

One thing I want my clients to know before standing in front of my camera....
(in the words of my 13 year old)
I got you!!
My ultimate goal is to leave having you feeling even better than when you came into my studio. I want you to see the same amazing person I see in front of my camera.

There is nothing quite like a photo shoot in the snow. The muted colors provide the perfect neutral palate and colors pop against them. There was plenty of hot chocolate promised to make this shoot a reality.
If you are interested in a snow session over the next couple of weeks and have hot chocolate at the ready... give me a call. It sounds like there will be plenty of snow!
Enjoy the snow and stay safe and warm.

This little dude brings back memories of my Catholic school mass days playing uncle....I mean... holding hands during the Our Father under Sister Mary's suspicious eye. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love an authentic family photo.

Okay actually a lot of rain but how cute are the pictures?
The lights are even more sparkly and I love what we created despite the weather.

Location Tip: No need to search far and wide for the perfect spot to create beautiful images.
For this shoot we went no further than the front sidewalk to find a meaningful location and add some variety to our session.
I love to find ways to keep it simple which is why we also offer complimentary clothing styling, hair, and makeup for our photo shoots.

Who says you have to photograph during golden hour only?
Bright blue skies and November Midwestern prairies make for an unforgettable family portrait.
I can't wait to see this one framed!
