Maternity Session only - $150.00
I love when I am contacted by soon-to-be moms who are weary about whether or not to do a maternity session knowing that soon they will want to enjoy their newborn session in the coming weeks. Two creative sessions can be daunting (both in time and cost!). I have taken in consideration, the last few weeks are so exciting, we can capture a few of those last minute bump images for a personal keepsake. This session is usually about 90 minutes and includes Mom, Dad and any other siblings. The maternity session includes my time and creative services as well as post-session image editing. Professional quality prints will be available for purchase through a private online gallery and are sold a-la-carte (digital files will also be available for purchase).
NEWBORN SESSION: $150
Newborn sessions hopefully will take place within the first two weeks and last anywhere from 90-120 minutes – more if needed, I want you to feel confident in the session, so that if time is needed to cuddle and feed, we have plenty of time! Sessions usually take place at your home, where you and your family are most comfortable, with familiar places to feed and snuggle your precious little one whenever they need a break. The idea of a newborn sessions is to keep everyone as relaxed and as comfortable possible. I am equipped with many props in which I will bring with me to make the most of the session.

Professional quality prints will be available for purchase through a private online gallery and are sold a-la-carte (digital files will also be available for purchase).
