Real (tiny) life, beautifully captured.
My in-home newborn sessions are designed to honor this season exactly as it is. I make space for you to just be. Creating images that are honest and connected because that’s what these early days are really about. No complicated poses or fussy setups. Instead, I come to you — your home, your light, your people — so everyone stays comfortable (yes, even your toddler). You’ll get beautiful, heartfelt images that capture the snuggles, the wonder, the sleepy smiles, and the way your world just shifted in the best possible way.

it felt to be in this chapter
My newborn sessions take place right in your home — where your baby settles easiest and you don’t have to rush out the door or pack up your entire life just to be photographed.
Whether we're meeting in your cozy Ann Arbor bungalow, in your new South Lyon home, or elsewhere in Southeast Michigan, staying home allows the session to unfold naturally. You can feed when you need to. Take breaks. Breathe.
No studio lights.
No stiff posing.
No pressure to perform.
Just your family, as you are.
Your story deserves to be told with tender, joyful, and honest images.

I’m not just a newborn photographer, I’m a mom, too.
I know those late-night hours when the world is quiet and you’re holding your baby close. Their soft sounds, that sweet newborn scent, the way their tiny fingers curl around yours. It’s so heartbreakingly beautiful. You’re dreaming of all they’ll grow to be, yet wishing they’d never outgrow your arms.
These sessions are unhurried and gentle. I’ll guide you to moments of authentic connection.
I’ve photographed newborns in sun-filled Ann Arbor living rooms, quiet bedrooms across Southeast Michigan, and homes filled with that brand-new-baby hush. Every family is different, but the goal is always the same: connection over perfection.
this newborn chapter is just the beginning.
Newborn sessions are typically done in within the first few weeks after birth and take place in your home. It's best to reach out when you find out your expecting so I can make sure you get a spot on my calendar.
Sessions move slowly and naturally, allowing time for feeding, soothing, and simply being together. You don’t need to prepare a perfect house. I'm not chasing a detailed shot list These sessions capture you settling into this new season. I’ll help guide you, so you can focus on your baby.
From tips on what wear or how to prepare, I’ve got you covered.
My role is to make this comfortable, soulful, and authentic.
Each year, I also offer a limited number of newborn and family sessions near Traverse City, Michigan for families spending time up north who want their photos to reflect that season of life. Northern Michigan feels like home to me. If it speaks to you in that sweet whisper, I'd be a happy to do your newborn photo session in you family's cottage, a rented beach house, or your Traverse City home.
I recommend reaching out early, as availability is limited.
If you are looking for intricately posed newborn portraits, I may not be the right photographer for you--and that's ok.
But if you are looking for images that feel like home, that reflect the love and connection of this ephemeral season, and a photographer that lets you be fully present with your family, I'd love to work with you.
The beauty of these moments exists most fully when you allow yourself to truly settle into this space. So, breathe mama, and just be with your baby.
If you're looking for an Ann Arbor area newborn photographer who prioritizes slow moments, real connection and honest images, I'ld love to hear from you.
