The newborn stage is fleeting. In just a matter of weeks, your baby will stretch out, wake up more, and begin changing in ways that are impossible to slow down. Newborn portraits preserve those earliest days — the tiny fingers, sleepy expressions, and quiet moments that pass far too quickly.
I offer both studio newborn sessions and lifestyle newborn sessions, each designed to capture your baby in a natural, meaningful, and timeless way. No matter which style you choose, the goal is the same: to tell the story of your baby’s beginning.
Studio newborn sessions are soft, peaceful, and intentionally styled. These sessions take place in my cozy Cuyahoga Falls studio and are best scheduled when your baby is 7–14 days old.
This style focuses on gently posed images, simple textures, and neutral tones that keep your baby at the center of every photograph. In addition, my studio is known for whimsical, thoughtfully designed themed sets that add a touch of magic while still feeling timeless. These custom sets are carefully styled to enhance your baby’s features and personality, and they are one of the ways my studio stands apart from many others. I provide wraps, blankets, and props, and guide each session at a relaxed, baby-led pace.
Classic, timeless imagery
Soft posing and sleepy newborn details
A calm, controlled environment
Artwork that will never feel dated
Lifestyle newborn sessions take place in the comfort of your home and focus on connection, emotion, and real moments. These sessions are relaxed and natural, capturing your baby as they are — snuggled in your arms, resting in their nursery, or surrounded by the love of your family.
Rather than posed setups, lifestyle sessions tell a story. We document the in-between moments: tiny stretches, quiet feedings, and the way your baby fits perfectly in your arms right now.
Natural, candid moments
Meaningful family connection
Documenting their home and nursery
A storytelling approach to newborn photography
There is no wrong choice — only what feels most meaningful to you.
Some families love the polished, timeless look of studio newborn portraits. Others are drawn to the emotional storytelling of lifestyle sessions. Many parents choose based on how they want to remember this season of life.
If you’re unsure which option is best, I’m happy to help guide you. Both session types are photographed with the same care, experience, and attention to detail.
I know how overwhelming the newborn stage can feel — especially for busy moms juggling recovery, lack of sleep, and a growing family. That’s why my newborn sessions are intentionally designed to be stress-free, fully guided, and supportive from start to finish.
I am a seasoned, educated professional newborn photographer with years of experience safely photographing babies. You don’t need to worry about posing, timing, or what to bring — I guide every detail so you can simply show up and enjoy the experience.
Planning sessions are included and can be done over the phone or online, whichever is easiest for you. Together, we’ll talk through styling, session flow, and your vision so you feel confident and prepared well before your session day.
From start to finish, my goal is to provide a calm, organized experience that feels easy — even during one of the busiest seasons of your life.
Safety and comfort are always the top priority.
Newborn portraits are best photographed within the first 7–14 days after birth, when babies are sleepiest and most comfortable.
I recommend booking your newborn session during pregnancy to ensure availability, as I limit the number of newborns I photograph each month.
Once your baby arrives, we’ll finalize the session date.
My studio is located in Cuyahoga Falls, and I proudly serve families throughout Akron, Stow, Hudson, Fairlawn, and surrounding communities.
Availability for newborn sessions is limited each month.

Your baby will change more in the first twelve months than at any other time in their life. From tiny newborn stretches to first smiles, sitting proudly, and that joyful one‑year sparkle — these moments happen quickly and deserve to be remembered with intention.
The First Year Bundle was created for families who don’t want to miss a single stage. Instead of booking sessions one by one and hoping availability works out, this experience captures your baby’s story from beginning to end — beautifully, cohesively, and stress‑free.
When these four milestones are displayed together, the growth is emotional and powerful. Each session builds on the last, telling your baby’s story in a way single sessions simply can’t.
Consistent, Timeless Styling
We coordinate colors, tones, and styling across sessions so your images feel cohesive. This makes albums, wall art, and keepsakes beautifully timeless.
Priority Scheduling & Peace of Mind
Newborn availability is limited each month. Booking the bundle during pregnancy guarantees your sessions are on the calendar — no scrambling, no stress.
A Seamless Experience for Busy Parents
One photographer. One plan. One year beautifully documented.

Typical milestone timing:
Newborn: 7–14 days
Tummy Time: 3–4 months
Sitter: 6–7 months
First Birthday: 11–12 months
This signature experience includes four milestone portrait sessions, thoughtfully spaced throughout your baby’s first year:
Newborn Session | 7–14 Days Old
Soft, peaceful, and timeless newborn portraits that preserve the tiny details you’ll never want to forget. These sessions take place in my cozy Cuyahoga Falls studio and include wraps, textures, and gentle posing.
Tummy Time Session | 3–4 Months
This often‑overlooked milestone captures the first signs of personality — lifted heads, bright eyes, and sweet gummy smiles. Babies are interactive and expressive, making these portraits joyful and relaxed.
Sitter Session | 6–7 Months
Once your baby can sit independently, we capture one of the most expressive stages of infancy. Belly laughs, curious hands, and confident little sitters make this a favorite for many parents.
First Birthday Session | 11–12 Months
A celebration of one whole year. Whether you choose a classic portrait, cake smash, spaghetti smash, or something uniquely you, this session marks the completion of your baby’s first year. First Year bundles include a hand-designed album and print credit for heirloom products.
