maternity & Newborns
Education
I have been capturing Newborns for 5 years, attending various online and in-person workshops specializing in newborn related safety, poses and styles.
My most recent in-person workshops include newborn photography experts such as Jesse Salter (Kansas City) and Niki Torres (New York). Ongoing online photography education is accomplished through experts such as Kelly Brown (Queensland).
Inspiration
My indoor and outdoor style is ever changing and updating, although I have drawn inspiration through in-person workshops offered by Jesse Salter (Kansas City), Meg Bitton (New York), Sarah Cornish (Colorado) and Missie Lafrenze (Iowa),

TIPS FOR NEWBORN SESSIONS
Although not required, newborn sessions are usually done between 10-14 days from birth.
I allow for a 2 hour time slot for newborn sessions although it may not take that long.
Bring extra feeding so we can keep babies full and happy.
Studio is kept extra warm for newborns so please dress accordingly.
Clothes for the baby are not necessary for the photoshoot as I provide wraps, headbands, and props but feel free to bring your own. If you have other small children included in a newborn studio session, it is best if they can come just during the beginning or the end.
