The Experience & Investment

Your motherhood journey, grounded in connection, guided with care, and captured through the timeless artistry of film.

Begin Your Journey

“Because you don’t need more images, you need the right ones.”

I capture maternity, newborn, and family stories in a way that feels organic and deeply personal. From early motherhood to raising teenagers, this experience is designed for you.

I know how much you carry, and how hard it can be to pause.
That's why I've created a process that feels more like an exhale than a task on your to-do list.

My sessions are slow, thoughtful, and entirely captured on film.
Film invites presence. It’s not endless snapping, but waiting, witnessing, and honoring what’s real.


Because you don’t need more images, you need the right ones.

What’s Included In Your Session

From the start, you’ll have space to share what this session means to you. Through a detailed questionnaire, we’ll explore your motherhood, pregnancy, or family journey, ensuring that the final images reflect your story. We’ll collaborate through emails, text, and voice notes to plan your session, discuss styling, and curate a vision that feels true to you.

Collaboration

The session experience is laidback and deeply intentional. Film photography allows us to slow down, giving you and your family space to connect and simply be present together. No pressure for perfection, just real, heartfelt moments. Whether you're expecting a baby, holding your newborn, or embracing the chaos of life with toddlers, we’ll create an environment where you feel at ease, allowing your love and connection to shine through.

Presence

Unlike digital photography, where you have to sift through hundreds of images, film photography is all about quality over quantity. Based on the session you book, you’ll receive a carefully curated selection of timeless images.

  • 1 roll of film = approximately 20 final images

  • Film is sent out for professional development and scanned into high-resolution digital images.

  • You receive your film scans in a private online gallery, ready for viewing, sharing, and ordering heirloom-quality prints.

Tangibles

Your memories deserve to exist beyond a screen. I offer fine art prints and heirloom albums through QT Albums, ensuring your memories remain vivid and timeless for generations.

Why Film

Film slows us down. Every frame is a choice, every detail considered. It renders softness and memory in a way digital never could.
