Newborn & Family Photography in Bend, OR
I am a natural light photographer based in Bend, Oregon, specializing in newborn and family photography. With over a decade of experience since capturing my first son's milestones in 2009, I focus on creating timeless, emotionally resonant images that tell authentic stories. My European upbringing and life in Southern California shaped my artistic perspective, which I now channel into documenting the unique narratives of families in Central Oregon. As a mother of four boys, I understand the fleeting nature of childhood moments and prioritize natural, unposed interactions that highlight genuine connections. My sessions emphasize comfort and flexibility, whether photographing newborns in their first month or families in dynamic outdoor settings.

I use natural light and personal elements like heirloom blankets to create images that feel both intimate and enduring. Clients appreciate my ability to blend into their environment while capturing subtle, meaningful details. Sessions are intentionally relaxed, allowing subjects to express their personalities without pressure. All images are delivered through a password-protected online gallery within two weeks, ensuring secure and convenient access. My goal is to provide families with heirloom-quality photographs that preserve their legacy for generations.
