I am a lifestyle newborn photographer. The lifestyle approach to photography seeks to document your baby and family in an authentic and minimally staged way. In my photos, I attempt to document the love, relationships and personalities in your family. I seek to create situations where you can interact with and love on your family in ways that feel comfortable and real.

Travel within a 25 miles radius of the 80120 zip code is included in the session fee. Locations outside of this radius will incur additional travel fees. Please inquire for availability and rates.

I typically recommend doing maternity photos somewhere between 30-35 weeks. At this point most mamas look pregnant but aren't dealing with the potential aches and pains of the final stages of pregnancy - or at risk of going into labor :)

In general, I recommend scheduling the photos for when baby will be between 1-3 weeks old. However, I do offer "newborn" photos for babies up to 3 months. Doing the photos in the first few weeks will document the short window when baby is tiny and sleepy. If you'd like to wait until baby is a bit older, there are fun things about that as well - like smiles, cute facial expressions and chubbier cheeks. Some moms also like to have more time to recover and feel like themselves again after giving birth. It's really a matter of personal preference.

The best light for indoor sessions is typically in the mid-to-late morning. This is also a time of day when babies and other children are typically happy and rested.

For outdoor sessions, the light is best within the first or last 90 minutes of the day. Therefore, outdoor sessions will take place in the early morning or evening hours.

All clients will receive my client guide containing tips for choosing what to wear and how to prepare for your session. In addition to the client guide, you will receive my login to an online styling service called Style & Select (www.styleandselect.com). You simply input the genders and ages of the people in your family, the style you're going for and some possible color schemes and it provides suggestions for each member of the fam so that you all coordinate without being too matchy-matchy. They pull from a wide variety of retailers, but evening if you don't want to purchase new items, it can give you some ideas of what to look for in your own closet.

I will be happy to provide my opinions and feedback as you narrow down your selections.

Photos will be delivered in no more than 3 weeks from your session date via a personalized online gallery.
