Hey y’all!!! This video is an example of what your newborn photographer should NOT be doing.

While I don’t do newborn photos anymore I do want to stress the importance of hiring a newborn photographer who practices safe baby handling techniques. Your newborn photographer should NEVER EVER have your baby resting his/her head on their wrists without proper support. The lady in the video is putting the baby at risk to be injured.

Please please please do not cheap out on a newborn photographer. Please pay the money to hire someone who is experienced and has taken the proper baby safety classes to pose and handle your newborn the right way. Newborn photography can cost $250+ and every penny is worth it because your child’s safety is worth it.

CLASS of 2027!!! You do not have to wait until April 2027 to take graduation pictures! Graduation pictures can be taken at any time! I have plenty of availability left in August and I have PLENTY of caps and gowns that can be used for your session, so you don't have to wait on the school to release yours.

To my college grads, life happens and sometimes more credits are needed. If you book your session but find out that you still have a couple of classes left, TAKE THE PICTURES! We just won't post until it's time!

All in all, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not wait until the last minute, especially if you plan on getting t-shirts or need the pictures for invitations or party decor! The earlier, the better!!!

I've had parents express wanting their children to take pictures but had concerns because of autism, intellectual disabilities, or other types of neurodivergence.

Please, do not fret or worry! We are 100% ND friendly over here! There are times where we've had to turn off lights, play soft music or speak in hushed tones. Sometimes we have to give multiple breaks and have a little play time in between shots. But with the help of parents, grandparents, godparents, and siblings, we ALWAYS get the shot!

When filling out your intake questionnaire, you are more than welcome to indicate if your child is neurodivergent or may possibly shows signs, this way I can make sure we have ample time to work with them. Prior to photography, I worked in the mental health field for 10+ years plus worked at a daycare. My degree is in psychology where I've taken multiple child development classes along with CEUs while working at the daycare. I'm not an expert BUT I do have an understanding about the stages children go through and can recognize certain signs and cues that the children may show.

I LOVE my babies in every way they come! Including my BIG TEENAGE BABIES! So parents, don't hesitate and don't worry! Everyone will be in good hands and will have great pictures!
