You don’t need: – A suitcase of outfits – Props f You don’t need: – A suitcase of outfits – Props from Amazon – Pacifiers clipped to everything – Stress I provide the wraps. I style the session. I guide the posing. I handle the baby safely and calmly. You just show up and recover. Newborn sessions should feel like a break… not another thing to manage. If you’re due soon, let’s get your date on the calendar. #charlottesvillenewbornphotographer
I wish more new moms knew this. You don’t need a I wish more new moms knew this. You don’t need a perfectly sleepy baby. You don’t need to stress about feeding schedules. You don’t need to apologize if they cry. Newborn sessions are slow. They are warm. They are baby-led. I guide everything — safely and gently — so you can sit down, breathe, and just watch. Your only job is to show up. If you’re expecting and feeling nervous about booking newborn photos, send me a message. I’ll walk you through exactly what to expect. #charlottesvillephotographer #charlottesvillenewbornphotographer

You don’t need a “perfect” baby to book a newborn You don’t need a “perfect” baby to book a newborn session. You need a baby that’s here. The sleepy stage? It’s short. The curly stage? Even shorter. I guide every session so it feels calm and unrushed — even if baby has opinions that day. That’s normal. That’s newborn life. If you’re expecting and haven’t booked yet, this is your sign. 📍Studio newborn sessions | Charlottesville area Message me “NEWBORN” and I’ll send details. #charlottesvillephotographer #charlottesvillenewbornphotographer
You think you’ll remember the flaky fingers. The w You think you’ll remember the flaky fingers. The way they curl into you. The tiny milk-drunk stretches. But sleep deprivation is real. The days blur. And suddenly the newborn stage is over. That’s why I do what I do. Not for Pinterest. Not for trends. But so you can hold onto this season long after it’s gone. The squish. The wrinkles. The way they fit perfectly in your hands. If you’re expecting, the ideal time to book your newborn session is during your second trimester to guarantee availability. This stage doesn’t wait 🤍 Comment “NEWBORN” and I’ll send you the details #charlottesvillephotographer
The biggest fear I hear? “What if my toddler does The biggest fear I hear? “What if my toddler doesn’t cooperate?” Let me say this clearly: Your toddler does not need to be perfect. They don’t need to sit still. They don’t need to “hold the baby right.” They don’t need to smile on command. My job is to: ✔️ Keep baby safe ✔️ Guide every pose ✔️ Move quickly ✔️ Make it feel like a game — not a chore I’ve photographed hundreds of growing families. I know when to lean in, when to pivot, and when to grab the shot in two seconds flat. And honestly? The in-between moments are usually the magic. If you’re expecting and nervous about sibling photos, I wrote a full blog post walking you through exactly how I structure these sessions. Comment READY and I’ll send it to you.
Q: What if my toddler won’t cooperate? A: I expect Q: What if my toddler won’t cooperate? A: I expect that. I work fast and safely — and I have tricks 😉 Q: Is it safe for my older child to hold the baby? A: Safety is always controlled. Hands are supported, poses are adjusted, and I never force a setup. Q: What should siblings wear? A: Neutral, soft tones photograph beautifully — and I’ll help you plan it. Q: What if they’re jealous or shy? A: Totally normal. We turn it into a game, keep it positive, and follow their lead. Including siblings in newborn photos doesn’t have to feel stressful. I’m a former NICU nurse and a mom of two — I understand safety and sibling dynamics. Most toddlers aren’t naturally thrilled about a new baby. That’s normal. My job is to guide them gently, safely, and quickly so we capture genuine moments without pressure. If you’re expecting and wondering how this works, I wrote a full blog post sharing: • My safest sibling posing setups • How I prep toddlers before they enter the set • What to bring • What NOT to say before the session • Outfit tips that photograph beautifully You can read it on the blog (link in bio). And if you’re pregnant and want siblings included — tell me how old they are when you inquire. It helps me plan everything.
It always starts out looking so sweet and innocent It always starts out looking so sweet and innocent… Perfect frosting. Perfect setup. Perfect little cake sitting there untouched. And then a one-year-old enters the scene. Cake smash sessions are unpredictable, messy, hilarious, and 100% worth it. The reactions? That’s the magic. Some babies dive in. Some poke it with one finger. Some cry like we personally offended them. And I’m ready for all of it. If your baby is turning ONE this year, this is your sign to book early — my calendar fills faster than this cake disappears. 🎂 Tell me… Team “face plant” or Team “gentle poke”? 👇
