You don’t need a sleepy baby to have beautiful newborn photos.
In fact, you don’t need a “cooperative” baby at all.

Here’s what I tell every new parent I work with:
Your baby is already doing everything right.
Fussing?

If you’re pregnant and feeling all the feelings, you’re not alone.
Excitement, fear, anticipation, overwhelm… it’s a full emotional range, and no one warned us just how real it would be.

Here’s something most people do

I took this self-portrait on a day when I felt like I was disappearing.

Not in a dramatic way, just in that silent, multilayered way that happens when the days are packed with snacks and schedules and soothing everyone else’s needs first. You

Moms, here’s your gentle reminder:
Hang the photos.

Studies show kids who grow up seeing themselves in family photos develop stronger self-esteem.

They learn they belong. That they’re seen. That their story matters.

Don’t let tho

You don’t need to smile for the camera here.
You don’t need to perform.
You don’t need to hide how tired or overwhelmed or wildly in love you are.

I’ll meet you in the middle of it all, with a roll of film and open eyes.
