Newborns & Families

No matter what age or stage of life, children and families are so important for me to document. They are the reason I started my business. I love when families return year after year and I get to watch them grow together before my eyes. Newborn babies and toddlers change so quickly–don’t wait to begin holding on to every little phase they go through.

Your journey with me can begin at any time, but I offer everything from maternity sessions and beyond. At every session my goal is to capture the love and connection of your family in a relaxed and authentic way. Whether you have one child or a whole crowd, I help you interact naturally in front of the camera so that you will remember what your family was like on that day.

 

Newborn Sessions

I offer two options for newborns: Fresh 48 and in-home lifestyle sessions.

Fresh 48 sessions take place in the hospital or birth space before you go home–so usually within forty-eight hours after your baby arrives. This allows me to document the environment of the birth space after the labor part is over!

In-home newborn sessions can take place any time–as long as your baby is not yet sitting up independently, there is really no difference in how I approach your photos. So if your baby is already more than two weeks old, it’s not too late! We will shoot in your home to capture the most meaningful spaces in the best light.

Your investment begins at $850 for in-home sessions and $950 for Fresh 48 sessions (because there is an element of being on call). If you wish to have a Fresh 48 in the hospital and then a later session at home, you can book a combined package for $1600. Sessions are approximately 90 minutes and include 20 digital images (with upgrades available).

I also offer birth photography. To read more about birth stories, click here.

Family Sessions

Most people think of family sessions as outdoor photos–and in New England, that usually means fall! But I offer outdoor sessions year-round, weather permitting. The best time of day is the golden hour: 60-90 minutes before sunset (with slight flexibility depending on location). If you have young children, you might prefer a sunrise session! I am happy to offer both and will discuss options with you.

If you would like to incorporate a favorite outdoor activity in your session, we can plan a location with that in mind. You can also have a session in a location that everyone in your family probably already loves–your home! We can shoot in your favorite rooms in your house and choose some activities that you enjoy doing together, such as cooking or playing games. If you want to do a combination of indoor and outdoor locations, we can make that work too! Your session is individually tailored to your family’s personality.

Your investment for family sessions of any type begins at $750. Sessions are approximately 60 minutes and include 20 digital images (with upgrades available).
