Newborn & Maternity Sessions

For those who know the smallest things are the most important.

Charlottesville, Virginia

Laura makes the picture-taking process very relaxing and went above and beyond to make sure our photos were capturing beautiful moments of the two of us and our little one. It truly is an experience having pictures with Laura, which makes it all the more memorable. Choosing her as your photographer is something you'll never regret." 
​- Marlee B.

Tiny, wrinkly hands. Legs that still curl up. The squishy face you waited nine months — or maybe your whole life — to meet.

Let's be honest — those first couple of weeks are a surreal blur of 2 a.m. feedings, diaper changes and sleep-deprived eyes. 

But I can’t count how many times I've wished to relive just one of those early days with my sons. To take an extra minute to soak everything in. To hold their wrinkly hands again. Rub their soft little feet. Hold them close without them wriggling away.

​In those moments, I turn to the pictures. I crawl into them and sit quietly in the incredibly special time they hold.

Two Newborn Session Options:

At-Home Newborn Session (most popular)

Takes place in the comfort of your own home about 1 week after baby's birth.

• Spend quality time snuggling with your sweet new addition while I photograph.​ No stress, no posing, no fancy outfits.
• Great for families with older children, as they can play during newborn-only portions of the session. 
• Session will last 1.5-2 hours to allow for feedings, diaper changes (explosions totally happen!), etc.
• A session fee of $250 is due upon booking (may be more if outside Charlottesville to cover travel); total investment depends on the print products you choose post-session
• I also offer Keepsake Newborn Films. Watch one here.

Fresh 48 Newborn Session

Takes places at the hospital during the day, within 48 hours of baby's birth.

• Your baby will start changing before you know it! This special session preserves all their sweet features and your first moments as a family — in the place you brought them into the world.
• Session will last about 2 hours
• You'll receive a mixture of moments: baby details, mom and dad with baby, your first family photo, siblings meeting for the first time​
• A session fee of $250 (may be more if outside Charlottesville to cover travel) is due upon booking; total investment depends on the print products you choose post-session
• I also offer Keepsake Newborn Films. Watch one here.
