Why an In-Home Newborn Session is an Absolute Must*
In-Home Newborn photography
It captures the very beginning of your baby's story*
Your maternity photos will capture the love and anticipation that surrounds your pregnancy, capturing the beautiful story of your baby’s life that starts even before they are born. These images will be a cherished part of their story, a testament to the love that welcomed them into the world.*

Pregnancy is an incredible journey filled with wonder, anticipation and transformation. Your session will celebrate you and the incredible thing that you are doing – growing and nurturing your baby. Your images will showcase your strength, beauty and deep connection you share with your baby.*

Your maternity photos will be more than just pictures, they will capture the emotions and love you have for your little one. One day, your child will look at these photos and see how much they were loved and anticipated from the very beginning.*

Wedding photography shouldn’t mean you have to be pulled away from the celebration or miss the magic in the name of perfect poses.
And it certainly doesn’t mean faking an exit or recreating a special moment because it wasn’t captured the first time or because your coverage ended too early.
You deserve to live in the moment and be present
You’re not planning just any wedding. You’re planning your wedding.
When you plan a wedding day that is filled with intentionality – from the people you’re inviting down to the smallest details that are just perfectly you…
…and you’ll know it’s all being beautifully documented honestly and artfully as it unfolds.
The story doesn’t end here…
Come say hi on social – I’d love to connect, share behind-the-scenes, and celebrate the everyday magic with you.
Newborn session pricing is designed to be clear, flexible, and completely baby-friendly—from first inquiry to final gallery.
Most families reserve their baby’s due date in advance, which secures a spot on my calendar during that time frame. Once your little one arrives we’ll set the actual date and time for your session—usually around the 2-to-3 week mark, when baby is still little and new but your family has had a moment to settle in.
If your baby is already here, don’t worry. I keep space in my schedule for last-minute sessions whenever possible.
Booking Your Session
Booking your session begins with a $350 retainer. This holds space on my calendar and covers everything I bring to the table:
$350 Booking Fee
Custom session planning and an exclusive prep guide to help you feel confident before we even begin
Travel to your home (anywhere in Pinellas County)
A calm, unhurried session at home (1.5-2 hours is usually just right)
Freshly laundered onesies, swaddles, and blankets provided for your use
Hand editing and retouching of every delivered image
A beautifully curated private online gallery set up just for your family
This session retainer is a one-time, up-front payment that covers all of the behind-the-scenes work so you can relax and let me take care of making it look beautiful.
Collections
After you’ve seen the images from our session together, you’ll choose from one of my curated collections.
Collections start at $850
Each collection includes a set number of high-resolution digital images for download (with printing rights, of course—you’re welcome to use your favorites for announcements, gifts, or your holiday cards!)
You’ll also receive print credit, which is my fancy way of gifting you spending money to apply toward heirloom-quality artwork of your favorite images that is professionally printed to endure for generations.
Maternity and milestone sessions can also be added when you book so you don’t have to miss a moment of your baby’s first year.
It's Your Family's Story

Space To Be Yourselves
Family photos should be a safe space where your kids can be themselves and everyone can feel celebrated as they are — no judgement. I believe there is beauty in being perfectly you
Custom Sessions Designed For You
By creating custom sessions that revolve around your family’s interests and happiest times of day (my toddler families especially, I see you!!), your family can relax, connect, and actually enjoy the moment. I’ll be there documenting it in the most beautiful way possible!
I'm Here To Tell Your Story
And the best part of all? I’m here for the long haul, committed to being your lifelong family photographer that you can come back to year after year as your story unfolds.
Because your images deserve more than just screen time
Why families love working with me
Over the years, I’ve come to learn what makes a photo session truly enjoyable — and what makes it stress-free for parents. Here’s what makes all the difference:
Local Insight
I’ve photographed families all across Pinellas—from Seminole down to Tierra Verde—and can suggest the perfect place based off of the vibe you’re dreaming of. Want a quiet shelling beach? Or tropical gardens bursting with color? I’ll suggest ideas for every kind of session.
Child-Led Photography
Before I was a photographer I was a mom, an elementary school teacher, and before that a nanny—and those experiences still shape everything I do. I know how to meet kids where they are, help them feel at ease, and keep things fun (even if they’re feeling shy, silly, or wildly free). No stiff poses or forced smiles—just you being you.
Photos that Feel Like Magic
With years of experience and training behind the lens, I know how to work confidently with whatever light or weather the day brings. That means that you can stay focused on enjoying the moment while I quietly make the magic happen — no awkward setups or pressure. Just beautiful, natural images.
I’m here to make planning for your family photos as easy as possible!
As soon as you’re officially on my calendar you’ll receive my exclusive session prep guide, full of my best tips and tricks. From planning which outfits you’ll wear to what you can do to set your kids up for sucess before our session, I’ve got you covered.
Then share your photo daydreams with me in a sweet little questionnaire and I’ll get right to work, planning a custom photo session around YOUR family’s wants and needs!
Your session images will be delivered in a stunning slideshow. I guarantee you’ll tear up as you re-live your memories all over again.
Only after seeing your images do you have to decide on which collection is the right fit for your family. Each collection includes both digital images AND print credit so you can turn your favorite image(s) into tangible works of art.
Covering all of Hertfordshire including St Albans, Harpenden, Wheathampstead, Hatfield, Welwyn, Hitchin and all surrounding areas
Why is your home the best place for newborn photos?
From the moment your tiny little bundle arrives you will enter the most amazing whirlwind. Time will start to fly by quicker than you ever thought possible and in what seems like a blink of an eye your teeny bundle will be growing bigger. You will have spent countless hours pacing up and down, rocking them, settling them, having baby snuggles on the sofa, holding them close, smelling their hair, lying on your bed not wanting to move in case you wake them from their sleep, watching them sleep in their cot…
All these memories are made in your home and we can capture them, freeze them in time for you to look back on in years to come, to show your little bundle just how much they were loved from the very beginning. Want to find out more?
