Choose the session that’s right for your season
The love letter to your bump — and to who you are right now.
Your pregnancy deserves to be celebrated, not just documented. These sessions are unhurried, personal, and crafted around the real you…the way you move, the way he looks at you, the quiet moments between you before everything changes.
The hours that change everything — preserved before they blur.
The first 48 hours after birth are unlike anything else.
Raw, tender, overwhelming in the best possible way.
I come to you at the hospital, birth center, or your home and quietly capture those unrepeatable first moments. Tiny fingers. First feeds. The way you look at each other as a family for the very first time.
No posing. No pressure. Just the story of those first hours together.
Those first days go fast. These images will make them last forever.
Newborn sessions are gentle, relaxed, and completely led by your baby.
Held in the comfort of your home or my studio, we capture the softness, the smallness, and the way your family already knows each other by heart, even in those earliest days.
No stiff poses. No props you don’t love. Just your baby, your people, and beautiful light.
Not “say cheese.” The real thing — laughter, chaos, and all.
Family sessions are for the families who want more than a portrait. They want a story.
I’ll find your family’s rhythm, follow your kids’ lead, and catch the moments you didn’t even know were happening. The in-between glances. The pile-ons. The way your youngest still reaches for your hand.
These are the photos you’ll hang on your wall and show your grandchildren someday.
I’m a mom of three. I know exactly how fast it goes.
That’s not just something I say. It’s the reason I do this work.
I’ve stood where you’re standing, wanting to hold onto a moment already slipping through your fingers.
The truth is, the best photographs don’t come from perfect posing. They come from real moments when you’re simply with your people.
For more than 15 years I’ve worked as a Boston and Cape Cod maternity photographer.
My approach is simple: slow things down, guide you through every detail ahead of time, and create a space where you can relax and forget the camera is even there.
No awkward posing. No rushing. Just you, your family, and images you’ll reach for again and again as your family grows.
