You will never forget the day they were born-but the days that follow are the ones that slip away the fastest.
There are only a handful of moments in your life that make everything feel different — softer, fuller, more alive. That split everything into before and after.
This is one of them.
You will never forget the day they were born. But the days that follow — those are the ones that slip away fastest.
Your family story of welcoming your new baby into your home — whether it’s your first or your last — is the most beautiful story there is.

The Rules Are Fake.
Who decided a newborn session had to happen in the first two weeks of life?
Who decided it needed a beanbag, a basket, a froggy pose and a perfectly swaddled baby who has no idea what’s happening?
Not me.
A newborn story is about welcoming a baby into your home. Into your family. Into your life.
Whether it’s your first or your last. Whether they’re one week old or one year. Whether you’re on your bed, your couch, your front yard — wherever the light falls beautifully and the story lives.
That’s where we tell it.
Because newborns are already perfect.
Raw and real and completely, entirely yours.
We don’t need to make it more than it already is.
We just need to tell it.
My Approach to newborn sessions
Simple moments and profound love
No bean bags. No forced froggy poses. Just your baby, exactly as they are leading the way.

St. Louis newborn and maternity photography
A Fresh 48 session offers professional, documentary-style photography within the first 48 hours after birth, taking place right in your hospital or birthing center. It's designed to capture the raw, unscripted, and fleeting moments of your baby's arrival and your family's beginning in a quiet, respectful, and authentic way. We focus on preserving those magical first hours while the world is still new and every detail feels sacred.
With a gentle and unobtrusive presence, we document the natural interactions and tiny details you'll treasure forever – first family cuddles, tiny fingers and toes, initial yawns, and siblings meeting for the first time. These photographs become visual love letters, preserving the overwhelming emotions and tender connections of those initial hours, ensuring these irreplaceable memories tell your family's story for generations.
In-Home Lifestyle Newborn Photography: Real Moments
Forget the studio hustle. Welcome your baby home with a relaxed photography experience capturing authentic moments right where you feel most comfortable. Using beautiful natural light in your familiar spaces – the nursery, the living room, your cozy bedroom – my calm, baby-led approach focuses on genuine connections and tender interactions, ensuring a peaceful session centered around your newest love.
Let siblings share stories, include furry family members, and simply be together. I will gently guide you to capture the real smiles, sleepy cuddles, and tiny details – from curled fingers to soft yawns – that make this time so precious. Feel comfortable and beautiful as we preserve these fleeting, irreplaceable memories exactly as they unfold in the heart of your home.
