Are You
A Realist?
Photography Sessions
There is art in those every day moments. The magic lies in your family's love for one another. For those who seek a realistic representation of their family, there is an artistry in the ordinary – a beauty that lies in the unscripted laughter, the shared glances, and the gentle touch of a loved one's hand. Here, in the quiet moments of togetherness, the magic of your family's love shines brightest.
Are You
A Dreamer?
Art Creation Session
What lies beneath? Tell me your dreams, tell me your hopes, tell me your truth...Let's go beyond the day-to-day and create an artwork of your dreams. In your Dreamer Portrait Experience, I'll craft an artistic vision that truly encapsulates the essence of your family. With your input, I'll explore styles and themes, from surreal to avant-garde maximalism. Whether you envision a classic, timeless portrait or a bold, contemporary statement piece, the possibilities are endless...

Posed vs Relaxed
Choose the style that suits you...
Love the sleepy squishy artful newborn photos? Or prefer a more relaxed real-life approach? Choose what suits you best
Little Moments Sessions capture babies as they are, at that point in time. We'll spend approx 30 mins together. This session produces less sleepy baby photos, and more natural and organic photos. I can either focus on your preference of more family photos, or more photos of just baby!
Masterpiece Sessions allow more time to settle baby to sleep. When you choose this session, we'll spend 2+ hours together, allowing for far more styling options and variety in your gallery. These sessions allow me lots of time to create highly styled and posed sleeping baby photos. Is your preference both posed and styled? I'll capture it all for you here!
