Newborn Photography
based in grand island, ne -
happy to travel
Newborn sessions have a special place in my heart. Through gentle posing and a relaxed, unhurried pace, I provide high-end imagery that feels as soft as a swaddle and as timeless as a lullaby.
I work at baby's pace, whether you come visit me at the studio, or I bring the studio to your home.
The Process
My goal is for you to walk into the studio (or open your front door) and feel a wave
of "Oh, thank goodness, she’s got this." I want this process to be as calm and easy as possible for you... the adjustment to a new baby at home is enough work for you parents, so here are a few guidelines we follow to encourage smooth sailing...
The Sleepy Secret: We’ll aim to schedule the session within the first 5 to 14 days of life. This is the "magic window" where they are still curly, sleepy, and generally uninterested in the fact that I’m posing them like a tiny work of art. Extra points for a feeding right before we begin, just to send them off to dreamland.
The Turtle Wins the Race: We move at baby’s speed, not the clock's. If we need to stop for a 30-minute nursing session, a blowout (it happens to the best of us), or just some extra cuddles, we stop. I book plenty of time so nobody feels rushed.
Safety Above All: I’m a "safety first, cute poses second" kind of photographer. I use secure and comfortable positioning to ensure your little one is supported and happy every second of the shoot.

What's Included?
All of my sessions come with full access to my client closet, full of adorable outfits, swaddles, and accessories. I also have numerous newborn props, baskets, and posers to give your photos diversity while keeping little one comfortable. I don't believe in photo limits, so you will never pay for additional images from me. The cost of the session is the total investment.
You'll receive full access to a digital library, where you can order with ease through the gallery website, or download to do with what you please!
Volume Set Package Combinations
I know life gets busy and calendars fill up with playdates and pediatrician appointments. By booking your milestones as a 'Volume Set,' you're essentially putting your memories on autopilot. I’ll keep track of the months; you just bring the baby.
- Bump to Baby
Combining both a Maternity and Newborn Session, this is for the parents who want to document the total transformation. We start with the expectant beauty of your Maternity session and conclude with the sweet, sleepy arrival of your Newborn. It’s the perfect way to capture the "before and after" of the greatest miracle you'll ever experience. Includes a custom designed photo album after completion of your Newborn Session.
