Because you deserve to have beautiful photos capturing the special details of your little one - while feeling completely at ease throughout the entire process - I have carefully designed the entire newborn photography experience to do just that.

Creating unique sessions for each and every baby is something I take pride in. From vintage to modern, colorful to neutral, we'll curate each element to create something truly special. I’ll ask you about the colors or styles you want to see, and if you’re not sure and want me to take the reins, I love that too!

I am so honored to work with each family who chooses me to capture these cherished memories.

The newborn experience

01. INQUIRY

Complete the contact form, preferably in your first or second trimester or as early as you can. Then, you’ll be able to pay a $100 deposit to reserve your spot. If your baby is already here, that's okay too, still start by completing the contact form.

02. BOOKING

As soon as baby arrives, we’ll schedule your weekday session, typically when baby is 7-16 days old. Once scheduled, I’ll also share a prep guide and questionnaire so that you can feel completely comfortable and prepared coming into your session.

03. THE SESSION

Now, it’s time for you to relax. Prior to your session, I’ll carefully prepare the studio based on your questionnaire. Upon arrival, I’ll take it from there, and you can simply enjoy the experience.

04. DELIVERY

Approximately 3 weeks after the session, you’ll receive a proof gallery so that you can choose final images. Once selected, I’ll deliver edited images in 4-7 business days. Full payment is required before proofs are delivered.

Testimonials

“Christy has taken photos for our family the last 7 years! She is every bit of a phenomenal person to work with. ”

There have been times I have left a session going well we probably got no good photos and each and EVERY time she has more than delivered the most perfect photos. Christy is so so good with kids I could not envision anyone else capturing the growth of my children. Newborn sessions have been my favorite, she takes so much time and dedication to capture those perfect moments. It’s so fun to watch Christy work her magic each time!

“I have nothing but great things to say about Christy!”

When I was looking for a maternity and newborn photographer I knew I wanted one with a "client closet", but that was just the tip of the iceberg when it came to the experience. I say experience because it was more than just showing up and her snapping some photos. Christy has it down to a SCIENCE! When it came time for the newborn shoot I was even MORE blown away. She gave tips on how to prepare for the shoot and honestly it was the least stressful photoshoot I've ever been a part of. I showed up and she had everything set up to smoothly transition from one pose/outfit/set-up to the next. And again, I loved that she had all the headbands and wraps... We didn't have to buy anything special unless we wanted to. The final images were GORGEOUS. I had a family member comment that they look like they belong in a magazine.

I knew that this was our last pregnancy and didn't want any regrets. I also know from experience that you get what you pay for, so although it's a bit of an investment it's TOTALLY worth it. I would book her again in a heartbeat. You can't go back in time and redo maternity or newborn pictures. Trust me, you won't regret booking with her!

“Christy has captured so many precious photos for our family! ”

She is responsive to emails, straightforward with pricing, friendly with kids, has beautiful outfit options/props/backdrops/etc. in her cozy studio and does an amazing job all around. We are so thankful for her talents!!

- Kelsey

“We are obsessed with our newborn photos that Christy did.”

Very professional and was very quick with response via email. Highly recommend and will definitely be using her again in the future!

- Emily

“I LOVE Christy and all her work is so beautiful. ”

She captures the moment so well. It's always smiles and laughter whenever my family's in the studio! She's also a baby whisperer, soothing and getting the best newborn angles. Her studio is so cute and well set up with just about any outfit you can think of for all ages!

- Halie

“We had an amazing experience with Christy! ”

First off, she was so patient with our little one. Taking the time to gently get him back to sleep, swaddle him and keep him nice and cozy during the session. She even got genuine smiles out of our 5 year old, which isn't an easy feat with a camera! The biggest selling point for us was the amount of props, swaddle, headbands etc that she already had! We didn't have to bring anything to the session. Additionally, Christy is so easy to talk with. The entire session was a great experience. We have so many amazing photos to cherish. Our family will be going back to Christy for each kid!

- Kendra

“Christy took the most amazing photos of my newborn daughter and family, they brought me to tears! ”

She was so good with my two other, young children and was able to make them smile and giggle throughout the photo shoot! They had so much fun! I cannot recommend Christy enough!

- Jill

“Christy! Thank you so much! The photos are absolutely amazing!!”

We couldn’t be more grateful to you for capturing such a special time in our lives! You are a master at your craft. It’s really unbelievable how you do it and so fun to watch the process, plus the finished product is just awesome!

She is already growing so much so to have those early moments forever is just precious.

- Heidi

“Christy is a baby whisperer! I cannot recommend her enough!”

It was magical watching her work, like a sculptress modeling clay! We were all so at ease in the studio. The pictures we have seen so far are perfect. Can't wait to see the rest of them!
