“Oh, and by the way, we’re expecting.” 🥹🤍 THE BEST news you can share with me before your family photography session!!!!!

There is something so incredibly special about capturing a pregnancy announcement with your firstborn. From sweet sibling-to-be moments to the excitement of sharing that a new baby is on the way, these are the memories you’ll treasure forever.

If you’re planning a pregnancy announcement photoshoot, a big sibling announcement, or a maternity photography session to celebrate your growing family, let this be your reminder to document this beautiful season before life changes in the sweetest way.

Because soon, your firstborn won’t be your only little one anymore.

Family of 3 becomes 4.

Two boys and a whole lot more love. Watching this family grow has been so sweet, and getting to capture this next chapter for them makes it even more special. The sweetest little addition to a family that already has so much love to give. 🥹

“how much moreeee could she post” 😂

Another reel, another view. The drive to Grand Teton National Park was a whole experience on its own and I’m still not over a single second of this trip.

Wyoming, I fear I’ll never shut up about you.

A sweet newborn gallery 🤍

Sometimes, all you need is your living room. And honestly, that’s more than enough.

Staying in one space allows us to slow down, notice the little details, and create something beautiful without needing the whole house.

Rain in the forecast didn’t stop these parents-to-be, and I’m SO glad it didn’t.

These feel almost ethereal, like we somehow ended up in the Irish countryside. The soft, moody light of a gloomy evening completely transformed this location into something that felt straight out of a dream.

And this is exactly why I love what I do. The same location can look completely different depending on the light, the weather, the season, and even the way I choose to see it. Give me an overcast sky, a little wind, and a couple willing to embrace whatever the weather brings, and I’ll do the rest.

You don’t always need a new location to create something different. Sometimes, you just need to see a familiar place in a new light.

Give me all the homes with arched doorways and character. 😍

As an in-home newborn photographer, I will always love a home with little details that make it unique. The arches, the original woodwork, the beautiful textures, the rooms that feel like they have a story of their own.

Because newborn photos don’t need a perfectly styled house or a picture-perfect nursery. Sometimes, the character of your home becomes part of what makes your family’s photos so special.

And years from now, you won’t just remember how tiny your baby was. You’ll remember the home you brought them into. 🤍
