NEWBORNS
The Best Welcome Home Story
I believe the earliest days with your baby are some of the most meaningful you will ever experience. I offer both in-home newborns or in-studio newborns to bring your vision to life be it in the comfort of your own home or in a peaceful curated studio.
The tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, and the way they fit perfectly in your arms change far too quickly. Whether this is your first baby or your last, this love-filled season deserves to be remembered just as it felt — gentle, emotional, and beautifully real.
My newborn sessions focus on connection over perfection, preserving the quiet moments, the overwhelming love, and the beginning of your family’s next chapter in timeless, heartfelt images.

FAQ
01. When should I book?
I recommend booking during your second trimester of early third trimester. We book your due date and when baby arrives you simply reach out and we schedule our actual session within the first two months of life when everyone is well adjusted and comfortable. I only take a limited number of newborns a month which is why early booking is appreciated.
02. What does my session include?
All sessions include a consultation, style guide, location recommendations (if outdoors), up to two hours together, and 20 images hand edited. That means you will receive a proofing gallery after our session together to view and then make selections of your "must have" portraits. These beloved images will then be hand edited and returned to you in your final gallery.
03. What Should I wear?
I provide all of my clients with a style guide to help! First and foremost you should feel comfortable and confident! This session is about you and YOU should feel awesome. If you wish to keep in line with my ascetic I recommend neutral earthy tones, textures, and coordinating patterns and solids.
04. Do you offer prints and wall art?
Yes! Within you gallery I connect you with a professional print shop where you can print your images to keep forever. Using a professional printer allows for finger print resistance , deep matte photo paper which have a 100 year archival rate!

Michelle is EXCELLENT! She has done newborn shoots for 2 of our babies and we have loved the photos. She is very professional, kind, funny, relatable, works great with toddlers, and has great results. She worked really well with our kids who didn’t want to sit still. She had the magic touch! I would highly recommend her!

Michelle is the absolute best at what she does, and her pictures came out absolutely beautiful as always. The turnaround time was less than two weeks, and we were beyond pleased with the final product. Michelle captured our first week as a family of four, and we will cherish those photographs for the rest of our lives. To say we are incredibly grateful would be an understatement.
