Home is where the heart is right? Your home is the perfect backdrop to tell your family's love story. It's the place where you feel the most comfortable, the place you can relax and be yourself, the place where your children's memories of childhood will exist.
Let's create special images as beautiful as your family.
So you have decided to document the special moments with an in-home session!
Yep that's right, I took my newborn's portraits myself! They got better over the years as I became a better photographer and gained more experienced. But, I had to set a timer and run in and out of the frame for the family moments. My family images are pretty posed and look forced. It was hard to recreate intentional moments with the timer. I would give anything to go back in time and have a photographer come to my home those early days and just document my family. I miss those years so much!!
Trust me when I say, I don’t want that for you. My own experience is exactly why I became a lifestyle newborn photographer, to help you have special portraits that illustrate your beautiful story! A session that’s anxiety-free, fun, and actually about your relationships not perfect poses.
I’m here to take away the stress so you can focus on what really matters- each other.
MY HUSBAND AND I REALLY LOVED THE PHOTOS AND THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE SAVANNAH HAD TO OFFER. TO START, I APPRECIATED HOW SHE HAD ME COMPLETE A QUICK QUESTIONNAIRE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR IN THE PHOTOS. SHE CAPTURED A VARIETY OF SHOTS. WE LOVE OUR ALBUM AND PHOTOS. SAVANNAH HAS A GIFT AND DOES A GREAT JOB CAPTURING THIS SPECIAL TIME.

Your kids don't need to behave for the photos! Some of the best memories happen in the messy moments. Candid photos of childhood are precious and one of a kind.
No cheesy smiles, no stiff unnatural poses, just you, your family and the moments that make everyday magic.
Messy hair, super hero capes, bare feet? Perfect! Your kid's childhood memories are made with these ingredients.
You'll have a collection of portraits that FEEL like you. They will always remind you of this special time.
You will not be looking at my camera during this session. I'm going to encourage you to play, snuggle, and enjoy your family and new baby. Expect images with emotion, intention, and authentic moments.
Lifestyle photography is meant to capture candid, natural moments. This style creates a feeling vs a posed family portrait. Its great for newborn sessions because it captures this moment in time that you want to remember how it felt not necessarily how you looked.
I suggest staying with soft neutral colors and clothing. Clothing with texture like knit always look good. Think cream or tan sweaters, cream lounge sets, waffle /thermal shirts, etc. Try to keep the color pallet very boring and soft to keep the focus on your faces. Avoid bold patterns, colors, and logos. I'll send you a guide to help you shop your closet store or even Amazon.
If you love being at home, if you want your images to feel cozy and warm, if you want your images to look like memories not sets lifestyle newborn photography is for you!
Your homes doesn't have to be perfect. It is meant to represent you and your family! I personally don't like clutter or messy backgrounds. I would want you to feel most comfortable and feel at ease. You can even grab a basket or two and just grab all the clutter and things that are out of place.
I will want to use the best natural lighting you have in your home along with the least busy backgrounds. No room is guaranteed to be the spot for shooting. I will assess which location is the best when I arrive. I will mostly likely want to shoot in the nursery, family room, or the master bedroom.
