Before preparing for the birth of my second child, I am not sure I had even heard the word ‘doula’.  But after hiring an amazing doula to support me through the labor and delivery of my son, I strongly urge all of my friends to look into having one.  This week is World Doula Week […]

Oliver was the absolute perfect model for me when he came into the studio.  I had so much fun posing him and got some of my absolute all-time favorite newborn images during his session!

Many people ask me, “Why would anyone want to have THAT photographed?” when I tell them that I am a birth photographer.  What my clients know is that birth is an amazing journey for a woman and being able to freeze the moments in time leading up to and right after a baby is brought […]

The first installment of my Belly to Baby Package is always fun.  It’s the time when I get to know a new couple and capture their excitement and love as they prepare to welcome their new baby!  This session was no exception.  In fact, we had such a good time during our session that this […]

I must admit to being a bit nervous about photographing sweet Ellie for the first time.  You see, her parents are former OpLove clients and Love Story Contest winners…and Ellie and her mommy had some medical challenges that kept her away from my studio for a couple weeks.  But you would never have known that […]

Two of my recent newborn girls are featured on the blog today – it’s such a pleasure working with itty bitty little ones and these were no exception! <3 Here’s Ronan – she was determined to be awake for her first photos!! And here is Miss Sloane, the perfect princess!

This gorgeous lady had her heart set on a beach maternity session…..in February.  😀  I explained to her that it can be awfully chilly and windy out on the beach in the winter, but that we’d see as the time got closer.  What an evening it was – mid-50’s and drop-dead gorgeous lighting.  And it […]
