Book the branding photos! 🎙️🎧

Social media has made visuals your first impression. The first thing someone notices when they land on your page? Your visuals. The way people decide if they trust your business, connect with your brand, or take you seriously? Your visuals.

Intentional branding photos help tell your story before you ever say a word by creating a cohesive, elevated presence that feels aligned! Your business deserves visuals that reflect the heart behind it!! 🤍

Moms, I hate to be the one to say it... but your baby will never be this tiny again 🥺 From sleepy cuddles to tiny fingers wrapped around yours, newborn sessions are designed to capture all the little moments that become the biggest memories 👶 🍼

Here's a few FAQ's about newborn sessions...

When should newborn sessions take place?
→ Ideally within the first 16 days after birth

How long do sessions last?
→ About 2-3 hours depending on baby & number of people

Can siblings/family be included?
→ Duh!

When should I schedule my newborn session?
→ Contact me as soon as that baby comes out so we can finalize your date!!

What if my baby has accidents or won't stop crying?
→ No worries!! My sessions are completely baby-led!

Cool girls have cool jobs!! Mine just happens to involve babies, chaos, cake smashes, and making everyone look like they’ve got it together (even when they don’t 😉)

Somewhere along the way, new moms were convinced they needed:
a perfectly clean house, perfectly coordinated outfits, and perfectly behaved siblings to deserve beautiful newborn photos.

Meanwhile… they’re healing, exhausted, learning their baby, reheating the same cup of coffee 4 times, and just trying to survive those first few weeks. 🤍

I don’t believe your life has to look “perfect” to be worth remembering.

That’s exactly why I created my studio to feel cozy, welcoming, relaxed, and lived in — so you can have the warmth and emotion of lifestyle newborn photos without the pressure of hosting or having it all together.

You don’t need to stress.
You don’t need to perform.
You just need to show up and love on your baby.

I’ll guide the rest.

From outfits & styling guidance to natural, easy prompts (yes—even the silly ones that actually work), I’m with you the WHOLE way!

I photograph families, maternity, newborns, milestone moments, and personal branding sessions right here in my Edwardsville studio—keeping everything relaxed, fun, and true to you. My goal is to make your session feel easy and natural, more like hanging out than posing.

The result? A gallery full of timeless, heartfelt images that feel like you!!

(Oh, and a moment for the new spring branding pics please!?! I'm obsessed!)

Okay moms… can we all agree that trying to get kids to smile for photos sometimes feels like a hostage negotiation? 😂

So I put together a FREE little guide with the exact tricks I use during sessions to get genuine smiles without forcing it.

It’s simple, realistic, and works for phone photos too.
Comment “GUIDE” and I’ll send it to you 💛

Just a bunch of women cheering each other on and making big things happen.

No gatekeeping. No drama. Just good women doing cool things.
