Motherhood. An ever changing exploration into the depths of your strength as a human. While serving both Lincoln + Omaha with timeless newborn photography, as your trusted Newborn Photographer, I see firsthand the beauty of carrying an intricately created life should not be forgotten. The remarkable love when you look down at your baby’s tiny new face cannot be lost forever in memories that fade with time. Heirloom artwork is not merely heirloom for its quality and longevity. It tells a story to the ones who can’t remember. Your story.
Pure quality. Authentic perspective. Tangible treasures.

My clients love a full service experience and I leave no detail forgotten. In order to provide a fully customized experience for you, I take a very limited number of clients each month. All heirloom products are handmade and custom ordered specifically for you. All digital files and products are offered a la carte.
If you love quality over quantity, printed heirloom artwork, intricate design and luxury details, organic light filled moments, beautiful connections, and full service every step of the way, then we might be!
The first step in booking your newborn baby photoshoot is to reach out and schedule a call with me. I think it’s so important for us to get to know each other. How can I photograph your family’s genuine personality if I don’t meet you first?
Are we a good fit?

There is something quietly breathtaking about the season of expecting. The way a mother cradles her growing belly without even thinking about it. The way a partner leans in close. The way siblings press little hands against the curve and giggle at what is waiting inside. These are the moments that deserve more than a […]

My studio wardrobe takes all the guesswork out of this question. Styling services are provided for the whole family and my client closet is available to every client. It’s filled with beautiful pieces for moms and kids in a variety of sizes and styles. Wardrobe selections are finalized before your session so everything is thoughtfully prepared and ready the moment you arrive.

do you offer in-home sessions?
I am absolutely available to do in-home sessions upon request.
I always give some advice beforehand that in-home sessions aren't for everyone. They can be so special and a delightful addition to your family memories.
But if you've fallen in love with what you see on my website, that can only be replicated in my studio. Your in-home images will be lovely, but they will look very different than what you see here.
There are also a lot of limitations to the light in many houses, so I like to get a tour before we decide on that route!

How do I receive my images after my newborn photography session?
You can add on hair + makeup services to your session and let me handle the details. I'll coordinate everything. Your artists will show up to your home (or the studio) and get to work.
While you get your hair + makeup done, I'll start photographing your sweet babe, making this the easiest and most pampered photography session you'll ever experience.
If you'd rather handle it yourself, I have a complete style guide I can send you that will help with knowing what to do with your hair and makeup. I also have hair and makeup artists I can recommend to you if you'd like to hire them out.
That said, getting your hair and makeup done professionally is a perfect way to spoil yourself. It also removes the stress of getting ready when you are probably already nervous before your session.
But the most important thing is that you feel comfortable. If that is letting your hair down, you should come to the session with your hair just down. This is important for the rest of your family as well. Please ensure that they have been at the hairdresser a couple of days before and that daddy's beard is groomed. But also here, feeling comfortable is key.

How do I receive my images after my newborn photography session?
I’m not limiting your session to a time constraint because I am there to serve you until we get every image you are hoping for.
With that being said, typically sessions last around 60 minutes for me. If you have a child with special needs or attention struggles, I will go slower and meet them at their level. But I really try to be as efficient as possible.
My goal is to earn your trust, if that means spending more time playing with your 2 year old so they feel comfortable, that’s exactly what I’ll do.

The best time to book is during your second trimester, ideally around 20–28 weeks. I take a limited number of sessions each month to ensure every family receives my full attention, so early booking is encouraged. Once you’re on my calendar, I stay in close contact and schedule your actual session date as soon as baby arrives.

Your family deserves the very best, and that’s exactly what I’m here to give.

On the day, we move at your baby’s pace. There are no time constraints, no rushing, and no stress. You simply show up and enjoy the experience.

Yes! While my studio is in Papillion, just south of Omaha, I regularly serve families from Lincoln, Elkhorn, Gretna, and throughout the greater Nebraska metro. The drive is absolutely worth it, and many families tell me the full-service studio experience is unlike anything they’ve found closer to home.

WHAT IF I GO INTO LABOR EARLY?
You have the freedom to purchase exactly what you want. There are no collections that force you into products you're really not interested in. However, albums are my most popular heirloom.
Do I have to purchase an Album?
Digital files can be purchased independently or earned through artwork investment. When you purchase your albums or wall art or matted prints, you automatically start earning your digital files, complimentary.
