New Baby & Newborns Gallery

New Baby sessions are a great opportunity to join you for that amazing moment as your new child enters this world.  Getting to document the expressions on the new moms and dads faces as they first see their newborn baby is beyond words.  Newborns are so fun to work with because they are so beautiful, and so easy to pose and cradle.  It really comes down to timing, lighting, experience, and the choice of props for newborn session success.  Please enjoy the small showing of my work in the following gallery.

Maternity Gallery

It is commonly said that a woman “glows” when she is pregnant.  It is more than a symbolic metaphor, or hormones, it is love!  There is a small window for doing a maternity session, but it can fun creating themes for birth announcements or gender reveals if you have the time to plan it out.

Toddlers & Children Gallery

Toddlers and children sessions are by far my favorite, but they are often the most challenging.  You have to be patient, and welcoming to children to be able to work with them.  I have four children of my own, and I know how to communicate well with kids.  Many of my clients hire me for children sessions each year because I am patient, and because I love working with children.  Children are so full of emotions, and all have their own personalities that make them unique, and are such a joy to work with.

Family Gallery

Families get together all the time, and share in fun activities and events.  However, not all families get together and have their pictures taken from time to time.  This is not fair to our loved ones that want to be able to reflect on these memories with pictures to share.  It isn’t about the time it takes, or the inconvenience of having to dress up a little bit, it is about making a living memory that can be shared in years to come with those that are too little to remember them, or to share memories of those that may no longer be with us.

Seniors Gallery

Senior pictures are all about personality.  They are a portrait of your current self as you transition to the next great part of life’s journey.  All that aside, they are about having fun, and feeling comfortable with yourself.  I hope you have enjoyed the gallery, and if you did please feel free to book a session below.
