You know the saying, "they grow up so fast"? I wish I could tell you that was all just a bunch of baloney and your new little miracle will stay this small and cuddly forever, but that's just simply not the truth.
In the blink of an eye they will be walking, talking, and of course getting into anything they can possibly find. They are only this small (and squishy) once, so let me help you remember this period for years to come.

Featured newborn Galleries
When Sophia's parents told me they wanted pink and Disney, well I was excited to say the least! Tying in her mothers obsession to Toy Story into her firstborn's newborn shoot was something truly special and rewarding. I adore creating unique and personalized sets for each family I meet.
Despite having a short stay in the NICU, baby Zayde came in ready to go for his first photoshoot! With lots of milk breaks and of course some help from grandma, we made magic happen. Designing this green photoshoot was such a blast!

I got the pleasure of first meeting this family when I captured their first son's newborn photos. I was over the moon when they contacted me again to take baby Leroy's photos. Being a family of hunters, I of course had to tie in some of their cherished antlers.

The Newborn Experience
Welcoming a new addition to your family is an exciting and memorable time, but it can also be overwhelming. That's where I come in - my newborn photography sessions are designed to be stress-free and enjoyable for you and your baby. With over four years of experience, I have developed tricks and techniques to soothe even the fussiest babies and capture beautiful, timeless photos. I provide all the necessary props, outfits, and equipment to make your baby's photoshoot comfortable and memorable. Whether you have a specific theme or idea in mind or need help brainstorming ideas, I would love to chat with you to create the perfect session that brings your ideas to life.

I want to know more! To me there is no such thing as too much information. I want you to feel free to share as much or as little information as you are comfortable with. Is this your first pregnancy and you're scared? Or have you done this several times and consider yourself a pro? Let's chat about about it: I want to get to know YOU!
Whether you are due this month or you just got that positive test, there is never a bad time to reach out to me about making your newborn photoshoot dream a reality.
1. Say Hello
So you are ready to make this thing official and choose me as your photographer? I'm so excited! Next step is to get you in my books with your session date and time. Newborns are best photographed in their first 7-12 days of life, so we will shoot for this window of time.
Once we have those details ironed out I will send you my contract where we can get into the nitty gritty. Last step to solidify our relationship is to pay the session fee as outlined in the contract. Then that's it! You have officially hired me as your photographer!
2. let's book it
Now comes the fun part, lets make your session personalized! Whether you want to hop on a quick phone call with me or chat over email, I want you to tell me what you envision for your photos. Lets chat colors, themes, props, and possibly any family heirlooms you would like included!
From here I will start personally designing your session. When you book a newborn session with me you aren't getting a cookie cutter session. Just like every baby is unique and different, your photos should be treated the same.
3. Planning it
It's finally the big day, photo day! After talking to you and creating the perfect session centered around your desires and personal style it is time to put it all together. A week before our scheduled session I will send you my full prep guide so you and your little one will be prepared and know what to expect.
My newborn shoots typically last anywhere from 2 to 3 hours, but don't worry, there will be chairs and refreshments to keep you comfy!
4. photo day
I know you are anxious to see your photos as soon as possible and I want to get them to you as quickly as I can. Within a few days of your session I will send you one sneak peek photo while I am working to complete your gallery. Please allow me 10 business days to fully edit your images and deliver them to you.
Final galleries will be sent as an invite to the email you provided when booking your session. From there you can choose the package you want then of course order any prints or wall art to decorate your home with!

Kristen was an absolute delight to work with! She provided the maternity dress, and made me feel beautiful! The pictures turned out breathtaking! I highly recommend her.
Maternity Session
I am so in love with our newborn photos, Kristen has such patience and a calming presence which is just what you need for newborns.
Motherhood session
Amazing photographer! We have used Kristen for engagement, wedding, newborn, family, and every photo in between. Our expectations are not only met, but exceeded every single time! Her patience and commitment to get the perfect photo is impressive. She can even manage to get a rowdy toddler to somehow cooperate and look at the camera for family photos.
Highly HIGHLY recommend!
