Services
Newborn Photography
Our newborn photography specializes in capturing delicate early moments with artistic precision. Sessions occur within the first 5-14 days when babies are most flexible. We bring complete studio equipment to your home, ensuring safety while creating timeless portraits that document your baby's first days. The service includes design consultation, in-home session, ordering appointment, and white-glove delivery of finished artwork.
Maternity Photography
Maternity sessions celebrate pregnancy milestones with elegant, personalized photography. Conducted around 28-31 weeks, these portraits capture the beauty of expectant mothers using professional lighting and posing techniques. Clients access a custom client closet with handmade gowns while choosing from indoor or outdoor settings. The service emphasizes creating heirloom images that both mothers and future children will cherish for generations.
Cake Smash
Cake smash sessions document first birthdays with joyful, mess-friendly photography. The session includes classic portraits before cake interaction, followed by playful cake smashing and water splash photography. Conducted in clients' homes for convenience, these sessions capture authentic toddler expressions while maintaining professional quality. The service provides both digital images and physical artwork options for preserving these milestone memories.
Baby Plans
Baby Plans offer comprehensive documentation of infant development through multiple sessions. Packages include maternity, newborn, sitter, and cake smash sessions with coordinated aesthetic themes. Clients receive significant savings compared to individual sessions while maintaining consistent artistic direction across all milestones. The service ensures complete documentation of baby's first year with matching artwork and digital collections.
Sitter Sessions
Sitter sessions capture developmental milestones when babies begin sitting independently, typically between 6-8 months. These portraits highlight emerging personalities through playful, personality-driven photography. The in-home service accommodates varying space requirements while focusing on natural interactions. Sessions often include props that support developing core muscles while creating charming, developmental documentation that complements other baby plan portraits.
