Welcome to the world little Navy! This newborn session was especially close to my heart because Navy’s parents, Will and Mary, are one of my wedding couples from a few years ago! It’s my favorite thing in the world to be more than a wedding photographer, but to build a relationship with my couples and capture all their next milestones, too!
Photographing newborn sessions is sacred… especially with first time parents. Being invited into such a fresh time full of wonder, tears, steep learning curves and so much snuggles is so special! Navy did not want to sit still for long, so we moved around to a few spots in their apartment, and mom and dad rocked her alot. I never want parents to be worried about baby not “cooperating” for your session — like I always say, baby is the boss! 😉 I expect newborns to need a feed during our session, to be a little fussy, and to prefer to be held rather than on their own. I am totally comfortable with trying different things until we get into a natural spot where baby is content. It’s 1000% normal and just part of this season of life that we are documenting 🙂 Will and Mary’s apartment had plenty of natural light which allowed us to get almost a studio feel to some of their photos. Enjoy looking through this adorable session!
One of the questions I hear most from families is also the one that causes the most pre-session stress: “What on earth do we all wear?!” I get it.

One of the most common questions I get from expecting parents is when to take newborn photos. And honestly, it’s such a good question! There’s a lot of information out there, and if this is your first baby, you might not know what to expect or how to plan for it all. I would love […]
After welcoming my beautiful daughter Amelia into the world, I quickly learned just how challenging it can be to choose what to wear for newborn photos. Birth is an unforgettable, incredible experience, but also an intense and sometimes overwhelming one. In the midst of such a life-changing moment, figuring out how to prepare and what […]
