After this, you are welcome to head out if needed. Or if anyone wants to grab dinner and keep chatting we can do that too!

(times are approximate, I talk a lot & babies have other ideas)

For the past 10 years I have been invited into my client's homes to capture the most important time in their lives; welcoming a new baby into the home.

What started out as a necessity for me since I did not have a studio; became my niche, and the main reason I get hired now!

Clients loved the fact that I came to them. So, I made it my goal to bring them the intimacy of a lifestyle session, coupled with a posed newborn experience in the comfort of their own home.

I have learned a lot of do's and don'ts along the way, and I am excited to share what I've learned, so you don't have to make the same mistakes I have.
