your most precious love story 

There is no greater feeling than the love at first sight you experience with your children. The days are long, but the years are short. And all of those moments are just pure love. A baby is a miracle. A living, breathing, love that is inexplicable, overwhelming in the best way, and makes your heart want to beat right out of your chest. Those first few hours, days, and weeks may feel like a blur, and the memories fade. Let me capture the beginning of your purest love story, so you can treasure this moment for all time. As a  Tri-Cities newborn photographer, I will capture these fleeting first moments so you have them with you, always.

Not just any baby photos

I want to capture all the tiny details, the size of their hand wrapped around your thumb, their tiny feet, lips, and how their little scrunched up bodies in your arms look and feel when you hold them.
As a momma of 2 myself, I can tell you how much your newborn photos will mean to you, and bring you back to those moments when you look at them when your baby is turning 1, and then running off to Kindergarten, and then all of a sudden saying they are "big enough to do it themselves" in what feels like a blink.
Choosing someone safe with your newborn is of utmost importance.
Not only have I worked with babies for over 10 years as an ER nurse, I have taken 1:1, hands-on training, with a newborn photographer with over 12 years of experience. The handling of your precious newborn is not a decision to take lightly, and your session will be professional and enjoyable. 

make sure to book your maternity session before baby arrives!

When is a newborn session done?

Newborn sessions are typically done between 6-18 days, but there is always flexibility for older babies, NICU stays, or if momma just needs a little extra time. There is never a bad time for newborn photos. 


Where do your sessions take place?

Newborn sessions take place in my in-home studio located in Kennewick, WA. Upon entering you will enter my cozy studio that is set up for your newborn and family photos.
I also take clients in the surrounding areas including all of Tri-Cities (Richland, Pasco, and Kennewick), Benton City, Prosser, Grandview, Sunnyside, Walla Walla, Connell, and northeast Oregon including Hermiston, Pendleton, Umatilla, Boardman, and Milton-Freewater. 

How does scheduling work?

 We all know that babies arrive when they are ready and I plan for this! Your session is tentatively marked on my calendar by your due date. Once your baby is born, just send me a quick message and I will send you dates available for your session.

I've got you covered

Time is a thief of precious moments. Babies don’t keep. You should always be able to remember them as they were. How you could cup their little bums in the palm of your hand, and how they could nestle so perfectly small, across your chest. I will create a beautiful newborn portrait experience for your new family so that these moments do not go forgotten, and you can treasure them always. My experience as a newborn photographer includes the proper training, and safety measures, to ensure that your baby is in safe hands. From photographing babies, to props, to outfits, to changing your baby, I take care of everything.
