Lifestyle Newborn Photography-An investment that will last a lifetime
There's something special about newborns that just melts my heart. They're so tiny, so fragile, and so new to the world. I love being able to capture those precious first moments and freeze them in time.
For me, newborn photography is more than just taking pictures of cute babies. It's about documenting a moment in a family's life that they will never get back. It's about capturing the joy and love that comes with being brand new parents.
I feel incredibly honored to be able to capture these moments for families and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

• Sessions take place in the comfort of your own home

They will only be this little once. Cherish these precious memories for a lifetime.
The Experience
Book Your Session
I will make note of your due date on my calendar and leave a few dates open around that time. Already had your baby? No problem! Contact me and let's get you scheduled! Newborn sessions are scheduled during the morning.
You will then sign the contract and pay the 50% non-refundable retainer fee to secure your date.
Plan Your Session
After your session is booked, I'll send you a questionnaire to fill out. This helps me get to know you and your family better so I can give you the best session experience possible.
You will also receive a detailed prep guide that goes over everything you need to know for your session. From styling to preparing your home, I've got you covered.
Let me know when baby arrives and we will schedule the exact date for your session.
Day of Session
I'll arrive to your home a few minutes early and meet everyone in your family. After introductions, I'll walk around your home to see where the best light is. Then we'll start creating beautiful memories you'll cherish forever!
After Your Session
Sneak peeks will be posted a few days after your session and within three weeks you will be sent a link to view all your images in a slideshow set to music. Your gallery will open a couple days later and then the really fun part begins-spending your print credit!

FAQ
WHERE WILL MY NEWBORN SESSION TAKE PLACE?
Lifestyle newborn sessions take place in the comfort of your own home.
WHAT AGE DOES MY NEWBORN HAVE TO BE?
As a lifestyle newborn photographer, I have more flexibility with the scheduling of your newborn session. I have photographed newborn sessions from birth-2 months.
DO YOU POSE THE BABY?
While I do place baby in the best light and swaddle younger babies, there is no formal posing that takes place. I will photograph the baby alone and in the family's arms - the best place for a newborn to be!
WHEN SHOULD WE BOOK A NEWBORN SESSION?
Ideally, it's best to book your session while you are still pregnant. I note your due date and keep a few dates open around that time frame. If you have already had your baby, get in touch with me and I would be more than happy to try and accommodate you.
CAN YOU HOLD A SESSION DATE FOR US?
All bookings are first come/ first serve. To keep it fair, I cannot hold a date without a retainer fee & signed session contract.
WHAT IS YOUR PAYMENT SCHEDULE?
In order to officially book your session, a non-refundable retainer fee is required of 50% of the collection price. The remaining balance is due 1 week before your due date or the session.
DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?
Yes! Payment plans are offered. Inquire for more information.
IS THERE A TRAVEL FEE?
Locations greater than 25 miles from Plainfield, Indiana, will be charged a $1/mile fee.
WHEN CAN WE EXPECT OUR PHOTOS RETURNED TO US?
Your online gallery will be available within 3 weeks after your session.
WHEN CAN WE EXPECT OUR PRINT PRODUCTS?
Prints can be order directly from your gallery and delivered to your door with 2 weeks after your order has been placed.
WHAT ARE WE ALLOWED TO DO WITH OUR DIGITAL FILES?
Each collection comes with a print release that allows you to enjoy your photos! You are more than welcome to add them to your social media & print them where you desire. However, you can not alter them or use the images beyond personal use.
