There’s something pretty magical about bringing a new baby home.
Yes, the house may be messier. You’re running on 3 hours of sleep (at best). Your toddler might be wearing yesterday’s pajamas. The dog may decide now is the perfect time to puke all over the floor.
And honestly? That’s exactly the kind of newborn story I want to photograph.
As a Seattle newborn photographer, my approach is relaxed, natural, and centered around your family – not a perfectly styled version of it. Yes, I help you decide on what to wear, and how to best prepare your home, but all of that is taking into account your style, personality, and vibe you’re going for. I specialize in in-home lifestyle newborn photography, creating beautiful, timeless images of your newbaby with the people (and pets!) who already make your house feel like a home.

Your newborn session isn’t just about getting photos of the baby. Yes, we will absolutely do that, but that isn’t the focus. It’s about photographing your family as it is right now. I’m capturing the feeling of bringing that baby home. YOU, smelling that sweet newborn head. Your toddler acting shy but being brave enough to count baby’s fingers and toes. Seeing your baby cuddled into dad’s strong arms.
I love incorporating your home’s elements as well. The nursery you’ve spent months preparing. The couch where you spend your evening. The big bed where everyone piles together. The window that tives the most beautiful morning light. The little details you may not even notice anymore.
You don’t need a magazine worthy house.
You don’t need a giant, beautifully decorated nursery.
And you definitely don’t need to deep clean your entire home before I arrive.

Relaxed doesn’t mean unprepared.
After booking, I’ll send you my Newborn Session Prep Guide with everything you need to know before your session, including tips for preparing home home, what to expect, how to prepare your baby, and how we can make the session as easy as possible.
You’ll also receive my What to Wear Guide, with guidance on colors, textures, coordinating the whole family, and choosing clothing that looks beautiful without feeling overly matchy-matchy.
No Stiff Poses. No Perfect Kids (or Pets) Required.
If you’ve ever looked at newborn photography and thought, That’s beautiful, but my family could never do that, you’re my kind of client.
I don’t expect your toddler to sit perfectly still.
I don’t expect your dog to perform for the camera.
I don’t expect your newborn to be perfectly asleep for the whole session.
Instead, I’ll guide you with prompts and posing suggestions, but there is plenty of room for movement, connection, personality, and those in-between moments that always create magic!
The result is a gallery that feels beautiful and like YOU.

Whether you’re welcoming your first baby or adding another little one to an already busy household, your newborn session should feel easy, meaningful, and completely yours.
I’ll guide you through the process start to finish. You just bring the baby, the siblings, the pets, and all the beautiful chaos that comes with them.
