Each year, we offer some quick family minisessions for those just wanting a few great images for holiday cards and gifts. This year, we have some new locations and studio sets for our favorite families! I’ve simplified to one package of $395 including 10 digital files – the pricing is the same for each location/date.

Whether it is one of the many beautiful […]

In 2019, I worked to add these Premium Digital Imagery designs to each of my newborn sessions. They not only add something special to my clients’ galleries, they also are so much fun to create! When families come to the studio, I show them all of the options and they get to choose their favorites. […]

They say that it feels like just yesterday when we were taking those newborn photos and their baby was brand new to the family. And […]
