newborn sessions

for a teeny tiny human

so much love

You wait what seems like an eternity for them to get here and then seemingly overnight they continue to change. Those little tiny hands turn into toddler hands and those feet that can't yet hold them up are soon what has them running full speed down the hall. In the blink of an eye, the newborn phase is gone and you'll want it to come back just for a minute to take in that baby smell and those little noises they make...am i right?! I wish I had a way to give you that moment in time back but I can give you the next best thing: Photos. These images are truly a once in a lifetime opportunity you'll never regret having.

because they just don't stay this little for long

1. an easy experience

I have created my newborn sessions to be as easy as possible on my new parents. I have everything we need as far as wraps, props, studio, and even dresses for postpartum moms of all sizes. You've got a new baby relying on you for everything, the last thing you need is added stress. Let me take the reins and you just show up with your glowing self!

2. a gorgeous studio

The studio is located at the historic Racine Business Center built in 1865 and it is STUNNING! The studio is a 1500 square foot beauty and features gorgeous hardwood floors, cream city brick, tall ceilings, and a seating area for families to feel comfortable during their session.

3. a safe session

I was trained in newborn photography safety 4 years ago learning how to safely pose newborn babies for the duration of your session. Newborn safety is a high priority and should always be with anyone who performs newborn photography for your family. When you work with me, you can trust that safety is my top priority for your baby.
