Hi, I'm Laura! ​

See those tired, happy eyes over there? I know exactly what those early days are like — equal parts blur and beauty, all while promising yourself you won’t forget a single thing about your newborn. 

​But inevitability, you will. That’s where I come in. With a photographer’s eye and a mama’s heart, I’ll help you create tangible newborn photos you can return to for days and decades to come.

A few things about me

My newborns are now 5 and 1! Time flies even faster with your second

My husband Tyler and I have been married 6 years

I love browsing antique stores. Around here, my favorites are Circa and Heyday

My Photography Philosophy

I believe photos should be things you can feel — both in your soul and in your hands. I believe in what I do and honor it as art. 
This is why I take our time together a step further by transforming your images into heirloom albums, wall art, prints, and more.

Pre-Session

To officially reserve your session, a professional fee of $195 and a signed contract are due. This fee covers my time and talent, and gives you access to my online styler and Client Closet. Before our session, I will also ask you to fill out a short questionnaire, so that I can tailor our session to your print needs and overall vision.

Session Day

At-home newborn sessions are very relaxed and stress-free, and hopefully will feel like you are enjoying quality time together as a new family, rather than just posing for photos. That means lots of snuggles and kisses! They typically last about 1-1.5 hours, depending on baby and mom’s needs.

Post-Session

Once your images have been hand-edited to perfection, we’ll meet back up, either in-person or virtually, for you to view your completed proofing gallery and select how you’d like your favorites to live on in print. 
At this point, most newborn clients invest between $600 and $1500 in their print art.

"She made us feel totally at ease."

How to Prepare

Scheduling the Session
​At-home newborn sessions typically take place 1-2 weeks after baby’s birth. Once you are home, please send me an email or text, so that we can choose a date as soon as possible.

Styling
Start planning outfits early. You never truly know when baby will make an appearance, and you don’t want to be searching for outfits in a sleep-deprived stupor! Go the casual route or dress it up — whatever makes you feel beautiful! Avoid logos and graphics. Play with textures, soft prints, and natural tones. Baby can be in just a diaper swaddled, or a simple onesie.

Your Home
The last thing you need to worry about is having an emaculate home for our session. In fact, don’t clean at all! If something is in the way of a shot, I’ll move it.

Preparing Older Siblings
​Look at their baby pictures as a way to show how special and fun it is to have photos like the ones we’ll be taking. Tell them everyone will have a chance to take one-on-one pictures with baby, and that they are free to play or watch on quietly when it isn’t their turn.

Add a Maternity Session

Maternity photos don’t have to be cheesy or trendy. They can be beautiful and soft and pretty. They can be heirlooms one day. One day when your children and grandchildren come across them, they’ll see the day when you were strong, glowing, and so full of life — when you were on the cusp of your greatest adventure yet. 

Maternity sessions take place about two months before your due date.
