Congratulations! if you are here, you are probably expecting or recently had a baby. There is no stage of life more precious, sacred, or fleeting.
This singular stage of awaiting and celebrating your new baby goes way too fast. My newborn sessions are geared to help you slow down time and cherish every moment. Rather than just posing your baby, I focus on capturing the details and interactions of each member of your family with your sweet new little one. After years of experience, I’ve learned how to hone in on and document those precious moments you never want to forget.

Nothing is more precious than a brand new baby and they grow so fast it’s important to document everything. This session includes up to 1.5 hours of time in the hospital, your own home or a natural light studio. I capture moments of the whole family welcoming baby as well as individual portraits of your new little one. Generally, I aim to do newborns at 48 hours or close to 2 weeks after birth, though these sweet memories can be captured at any age.

Kara is incredible. She took pictures for our older son’s first birthday, and almost a year later, she took newborn pictures with our new baby. Both times I was amazed at the beautiful pictures and the way she was able to capture our family. Our older son was sick during our newborn shoot, and I was so nervous we wouldn’t get any good pictures. But Kara was so kind and patient with us, and she took so many beautiful pictures of our family. She not only is extremely talented in her photography, but she is also one of the kindest people I’ve ever met."

Kara knows how to capture the perfect moment. She guided the photo shoot in a way that made my husband, our baby & me very comfortable. Overall, Kara was so cute and friendly, I walked away excited to call her for future photo events before I had even seen the photos! You can’t imagine how much happier I was when we actually got the photos and they were more amazing than I ever could’ve expected. Kara captured me & my brand new family perfectly."

Kara was amazing! My whole family felt so comfortable and with a crazy one and two year old she was still able to get everyone to smile and get amazing shots. She was great to communicate and plan outfits and location. I’m not one who loves pictures of myself but I loved these! I can’t recommend her enough."

Kara took our newborn pictures! Not only was she so sweet and accommodating, she was very professional, and most importantly we ended up with pictures we treasure! She captured moments of our little son that are so special to us, and the photos that my husband and I got to get in on at the end of our session are some of my most favorite pictures ever! We love her and cherish the pictures she took for us!"

Every shoot I do is unique, because every family is unique. After years of experience, I have learned how to create a safe space for my clients to feel comfortable and be themselves. Rather than just stiffly posing for the camera, I gently guide and direct you and your loved ones throughout the whole session, including fun games, posing prompts and lots of giggles. This process allows us to capture authentic, detailed, beautiful images that reflect exactly who you and your family are. You can expect a perfect mix of both looking at the camera photos and candid detailed shots that showcase your family and the location. And best of all, you can expect to have fun.
