family photography
Get ready to hang with your favorite people blissfully free from the distractions of everyday life. Enjoy uninterrupted quality time to laugh, play, and snuggle while I artfully capture posed and candid portraits that tell your unique family story and showcase your family’s personality. You'll receive a gallery full of images that will bring a smile to your face when you pass them hanging in your home; photographs that you will look back on and treasure for years to come.
I know you’re busy, so I even make it easy to plan your family photo session. I’ll provide you with an exclusive styling guide to make your wardrobe planning a breeze! For outdoor family photos, I scout beautiful outdoor locations for seasonal flora and foliage that will be the perfect background to allow you and your family to shine. If you prefer indoor family photography, my studio in the heart of Doylestown, PA is also fully equipped to host your family with neutral backgrounds that lend to classic portraits that will never go out of style.

All posed newborn photo sessions take place in the comfort of my Doylestown, PA studio when your baby is between 2-4 weeks old. The studio is fully outfitted with everything needed to capture sweet, sleepy newborn goodness, along with family and sibling portraits. I encourage new parents to relax on the cozy couch and enjoy a snack, coffee, and even a little snooze! I will expertly style your session from my extensive collection of handmade boutique-quality props specifically created for newborn photography.
Newborn sessions are typically arranged about halfway through pregnancy. I accept just five due dates per month to ensure that I am available and attentive for early and late arrivals! You'll give me a call, text, or email when your baby is born so that we can finalize a date for our session together.
Classic newborn sessions typically last about 3 hours, while petite newborn sessions are approximately 90 minutes. There is plenty of time for breaks to feed the baby, clean up inevitable messes, and allow your new baby the time and space to relax into a deep sleep. If family poses are a part of your session, they will be done during the first 30-45 minutes of your session so that older siblings can be picked up by a family member or sitter and continue their day normally.

Creating a baby (and the stunning pregnancy glow that comes with it) is always worth documenting. Whether it's your first or fourth pregnancy, the incredible journey of welcoming a new baby to your family is full of love and anticipation. We'll meet on location or in my studio to take fun and sentimental maternity portraits of how your body changed in incredible ways to completely change the world of everyone who loves you and your baby. For your convenience, I have an extensive collection of maternity gowns available for your use.
If parenting has taught me anything, it's that everything is a phase - habits your child has, facial expressions they make, everything. Whatever phase of parenting you're in, it's the right time to capture your child's unique personality with milestone photos.
From when your little one first sits up to their first birthday... from that gapped tooth smile or newly installed braces... to graduation when they are looking more like an adult than the child you swear you were just snuggling in your lap…I’ll help you remember it all with heirloom baby photos and child photos. I look forward to seeing your child grow and making it possible for you to look back on each phase with equal parts bitter and sweet.

Fresh 48 sessions are in-hospital lifestyle photography sessions that aim to capture the sweet rawness of a brand new life joining your family. Those ultra-fresh baby details, emotional sibling meetings, or how perfectly your baby fits into your curves - I capture it all while you relax and stay present in these moments. Fresh 48 sessions are typically reserved in the second trimester of pregnancy. I limit my availability to two Fresh 48 sessions per month.
