The funny thing about miracles is that we think they only happen in movies. Except here you are — incredibly, fantastically, with a whole person being formed right under your heart as we speak.

When Should I Book?
It’s best to reach out in advance early on in your pregnancy, both because I take sessions on a very limited basis, and as I tend to book out by at least a month, especially during the fall season. We will also need this time to plan your outfits.
How Many Weeks Along Is Best?
30-33 weeks is what I call the "sweet spot"; your tummy will be nice and round, but you also won't be quite so tired and uncomfortable just yet. Photo turnaround is 10 days, so you'll also want time to enjoy your maternity photos before Baby's arrival.
When Will Our Shoot Be?
Portrait sessions are booked weekdays only during wedding season, though I am usually flexible for weekends during January-March. Sessions take place during sunset, when we get that soft, golden lighting. Sunset time varies between 3pm-7:30pm throughout the year.
Where Will Our Shoot Be?
I have many locations all around the state that I can recommend for us, from beach coastlines, to forests, to fields and more. Most of these spots tend to revolve around nature. Forgotten meadows or secluded rocky peaks; special places that give us the beauty and solitude needed to create such magical photos.
What Should We Wear?
All sessions include hands-on styling to achieve that organic, poetic look you see in my work. Using your base preferences as inspiration, I personally track down pieces for you to build something special. It’s important to leave a little wiggle room in your budget for this, as clothing is a very integral part of our masterpiece that we can’t afford to overlook. Just as quality paint and canvas are important to a painting, so too are clothing, accessories, and scenery to our portraits.
Can We Bring Our Dog?
While I adore dogs, for the type of work I do, this isn't going to be a great place for them for a few reasons. These intimate sessions require me to have all of your limbs free and all of your attention, and I've found that the addition of a dog can unfortunately add quite a lot of stress and distraction, meaning I don't fully get to deliver the work you see in my galleries. For photos with your dog, I'd highly recommend seeking out a photographer who offers mini sessions! These are a fantastic opportunity to get some portraits with your dog.
