This package includes everything mentioned in "Birth Session with photos" with the addition of a personalized slideshow of your images. I painstakingly choose just the right song to accompany your images, telling a more complete and emotionally filled story. Each song is purchased for licensed online/streaming use.
This package includes unlimited hours through delivery plus 2 hours post delivery to capture those first moments of bonding, nursing, baby's bath, and grandparents meeting baby. Typically, you will receive 150-200 images. Each photo is high resolution, and individually hand edited. Files are delivered digitally through a direct download, and password protected for your privacy. This also includes the addition of a Fresh 48 session. This session takes place within the first 48 hours of life and usually takes place at the hospital before you are discharged. You've had a chance to get some rest, showered and hopefully feeling more refreshed. This is also a great time to introduce siblings to the new baby for the first time. These photos taken are going to be life-styled: the art of everyday. You being you, with your baby and family. The session will last approximately 1.5 hours. You will receive 20+ edited high resolution images with print release. Files are delivered digitally through a direct download.

This includes everything listed in the photo package above, but with the addition of video footage added to fully tell the story of those first precious hours of your baby's life. The added emotional value of hearing your older kids reactions to seeing their new baby, forever capturing the tininess of their voices. Or etching into memory the sweet grunts and coos of your newborn, you know the ones you swear you'll never forget, but somehow time has a way of stealing those memories away. You can freeze those sounds, and moments with the addition of video to your Fresh 48 photo package.
Book your birth session
The first time I ever dunked my camera underwater I was completely hooked. As photographer's we're light chasers and storytellers. Light behaves so differently underwater, it's elusive, but magical. These sessions are a fun way to get a different kind of portrait of your kids!
Investment in this session starts at $500 and includes 1.5 hours of shooting, approximately 10-15 edited images. Additional time can be purchased.
Sessions can take place either at my home or your own pool. Finding the best light can be tricky, so planning ahead is a must when it comes to scheduling our time together.
Book your Pool session
Through my own personal experiences, and over a decade of being a birth photographer, one of the most challenging and soul stretching periods of motherhood are the months immediately following the birth of your child. Often times pregnant mothers are doted on, tummies are rubbed, doors are opened for you, baby showers are held. Then suddenly the baby’s here and you’re tired, you’re bleeding, you’re leaking from places you didn’t know possible, and yet even with amazing families and support systems you can still feel surprisingly alone. But it's also a time of great intimacy, personal growth, bonding with you baby, resting, and finding your new normal. These sessions help freeze in time the beautiful chaos that is postpartum. It's gone in an instant, but it forever moulds who we become as mothers.
Sessions take place over 2 hours. These sessions are ideal for new moms with babies under 6 months. A simple questionnaire will be provided to help me better understand what aspects of your postpartum experience you want to celebrate as well as those you wish to shine the light on and educate others.
Book your Motherhood session
Becoming a mother changed the way I saw the world, it changed how I saw through my lens, it changed WHAT I saw, and what I saw to be important.
The desire to capture life, as it's happening. Real. Life. Not posed, polished, shiny, and pretty life. But the powerful, gritty, soul shaking beauty of real life.
What does real life family look like in a family photojournalism session? What are the things that 20 years from now you don't ever want to forget?
The shoot is unposed, un-choreographed, and unscripted: Your family depicted as authentically as possible. The sessions start off with a few posed family photos to break the ice and make everyone comfortable with me being there, and then we move into the documentary portion of the shoot. This allows the added bonus of 1-2 traditional family photos, within your documentary session.
Snippet : $650
50+ images + approx 2 hrs. During this session we are able to capture a 2-3 hours of your favorite time of day. Are lazy Saturday mornings, snuggled on the couch watching cartoons your jam? Or maybe cooking a yummy breakfast together, before heading out to the park? Maybe you guys are night owls, prefer building forts in the living room, only to tear them down with a pillow fight, followed by bedtime stories. Whatever time of day it might be, let me be there to capture it in all it's perfectness. This season of your lives only happens for a finite and fleeting moment! (Add on slideshow option a la cart for $500)
Half Day $850
100+ images + approx 4-5 hours. In this half day session we aim to capture an accurate representation for a majority of your day. I do allow splitting the time we shoot to accommodate for kids being away at school, or I can continue shooting what your day looks like without them. (Add on slideshow option a la cart for $600)
200+ images + approx 6-8 hours + slideshow included. From the time you wake up until the lights go out. Location to be determined based on what your uniquely "you" day looks like. I am there before the alarm goes off in the morning, to make sure I get those adorable bed-head babes as they stumbled out of their room, and go on to conquer their day. I basically hang out with you, preferably like and old friend, a fly on the wall, while you go about your day. You can plan our shoot around specific special events in your lives, or my favorite... your mundanely, perfect, beautiful, everyday.
