We offer several session options designed to fit your family’s unique stage and style. From quick, heartfelt moments to extended sessions in the comfort of your home, we shape each experience around your pace, your personalities, and the details that mean the most to you.

See below for package options that let you beautifully document your baby’s first year, or use them to tell your family’s story in whatever way feels right to you.

A Handpicked selection of Curated Digital images

We focus on delivering a thoughtfully curated collection rather than an overwhelming number of images. Each photograph is hand-edited and chosen to showcase the most meaningful moments, genuine connections, and authentic expressions from your session.

Professional editing to ensure beautiful, timeless images

Every image is professionally edited in our signature style—clean, warm, and true to life. We refine each frame for color, light, and tone, enhancing the natural beauty of your session while avoiding heavy-handed edits. The result is polished yet authentic imagery with an artful finish that endures.

Guidance and planning support to prepare you for a relaxed session

No two families are alike, and your session shouldn’t be either. We’ll guide you through every step, from location ideas to styling tips, so the experience feels intentional and easy. Whether you prefer cozy at-home vibes or an outdoor adventure, we’ll shape the session around what matters most to you and you’re new little one.

Highest Quality Heirloom Products

After your session, you’ll have the option to purchase professional prints and handcrafted products made to last. Whether it’s an album for your coffee table or framed artwork for your home, everything we offer is designed to preserve your family’s story with quality and intention.

Optional use of our complimentary Client Closet to enhance your styling

Take advantage of our complimentary client closet, filled with curated pieces to help style your session effortlessly. From timeless neutrals to soft, textured fabrics, our collection is designed to photograph beautifully and keep the focus on you and your family.
