It’s my goal to tell the beautiful story of your growing family in the most authentic way possible through imagery. In order to meet those goals, we will get together on the phone or through a Zoom call to work our way through some planning questions. How do you want your precious new baby to be photographed? Are there people or things that are invaluable to you and need to be a part of that session? Together, we will create a clear plan to showcase your vision, and because we have put in the work of getting to know each other better already, you will feel confident and ready for your baby’s first session!

Are you excited about joining your baby for part of the photo session? I partner with the incredible Ro French from Violet & Lavender here in Springfield. Ro shows up on site to the studio with full hair and make-up services that will make you look and feel your best right before your session. She will walk you through a consultation of her own to ensure that the color palettes and stylizing choices fit you best. People of all genders and complexions are welcome in her chair, and she truly strives to create a safe and supportive space for everyone she works with. Her amazing hair and make-up services last approximately an hour and a half and will have you relaxed and confident for your photos. Hair and Make-up Services are $150 per person.

This is where the magic truly happens! I am a fully trained photographer in lighting and posing for your newborn. I have three complete closets full of newborn props, outfits, blankets, buckets, bowls, and backdrops. However, you are more than welcome to bring along anything that holds meaning for you or your little one. While you watch me work my magic, feel free to sit back and relax in our beautiful seating area, complete with magazines, pillows and blankets.

The Session Fee for The Newborn Experience is $500 and includes: the Design Consultation, a three-hour photo session in the Historic Brinkerhoff Mansion studio, Professional Editing, and the Reveal and Ordering Session. All digital images, prints and products are purchased separately during the Reveal and Ordering Session.

Within two weeks of your photography session, we will meet back at the studio for the big reveal of your images. After seeing them for the first time, we will work together to create an order that suits you and your display space at home. All of my products are a la carte, and there is no minimum purchase here. I want you to fall in love with exactly what you choose. I have amazing product display samples and online programs to help make your purchasing decisions easier.

All decisions and sales will be made during this reveal session. We do not offer online viewing galleries, but family members can join us by Zoom call to place their order or make selections. Payments will be processed on-site.

All digital images from your order will be delivered within two weeks with the corresponding print release in an online gallery.

Our Fine Art Prints and Legacy Boxes of images will be available for pick-up at the studio within two-three weeks after your ordering session.

Our Albums are beautifully handcrafted right down to every stitch and fiber on the coast in Italy. Return time from overseas can take up to three months for this incredible product.
