Bringing your style into the session During each pre-session meeting I suggest having a few swaddles out and ready for our session. Swaddles that you love and that you won’t tire seeing in photos years from now. Claire’s mom chose the most adorable Aloha swaddle from Coco Moon Hawaii that was the perfect fit. Walking […]

In the newborn photography world, there’s often a large distinction between in-home lifestyle newborn photo sessions and more posed studio sessions.

Three years ago, when I first started doing sessions for other families it was something fun to do that was able to help my family by bringing in a bit of extra income. I was invested in the images and was so thankful for my clients, but it ended there. The beauty of being human though, […]

Edmonton Photographer. The idea of a behind the scenes video has been percolating for over a year, and today I’m so excited to say that it has officially become a reality! If you’ve ever wondered what a session with me looks like, check out the video below to see behind the scenes of a […]
