On the day of your session, your job is to show up ready to love on your sweet family. And let me do the rest. Whether we are in the studio or out at my favorite natural area, I'll help guide your family through different scenarios so we can get a lot of variety in your images. There will be opportunities for each family member to get some one-on-one time with each other showing off each of those precious familial bonds. We'll laugh, play games and have lots of fun!

Reveal & Ordering Session

About 2-3 weeks after your photo session we'll get on a zoom call to look at your images together and select your favorites. During this time we'll work together to create custom heirloom artwork for you to cherish forever. You can choose from heirloom albums, custom framing, matted prints and more! We'll make sure your photos don't get lost on your computer, but actually come to life in your home for you to enjoy every day. 


I know you are excited to see Your photos and I promise it'll be worth the wait!

Artwork Delivery

Production of your heirloom artwork takes about 4-6 weeks. Once everything is ready, I package it up beautifully for you and make a plan for delivery. I love watching families open up their artwork in-person. Seeing those huge smiles and excitement over new family heirlooms totally makes my day. 

Delivering everything to your door. Giving you more time to love on your family.

Frequently Asked Questions & Answers! 

When should I book my Oregon newborn photography session?

I recommend reaching out in your second trimester to reserve your due date on my calendar. I often book out 3-6 months in advance. For sleepy newborn photos, I recommend scheduling your session in the first 7-14 days after birth. However, it’s never too late to photograph your baby. I’ve photographed babies at all ages. So, no matter how old they are we will get some beautiful images of your baby. Just know that the older they are the more awake they will be. 

Where do newborn photo sessions happen? 

Newborn sessions take place at my home studio in SE Portland, in the Woodstock neighborhood.


How long do newborn sessions last?

Newborn portrait sessions take anywhere between 2-4 hours depending on how baby is doing. We follow baby's lead. I allow for more time than might be needed in case baby needs extra feedings, diaper changes, or some snuggles. Following all of my suggestions on how to get a sleepy baby typically allows us to get the session done in 2 hours. If there you are having multiples or there are older siblings in the mix sessions do typically take the full four hours. 

Will you help us with hair & make-up?

Yes, I will connect you with my hair and make-up artist, who you can book directly. She is amazing and will help you look and feel your best for your session. She specializes in enhancing and highlighting your natural features so your makeup is subtle and looks perfect for the camera. Even if you don’t typically wear a lot of makeup, I highly recommend scheduling with her because she knows what looks good on camera.  amazing and will pamper you a bit before your session helping you to look and feel your best!

Will you help us figure out what to wear?

Absolutely! My goal is to make your portrait experience as stress-free as possible. After you complete the booking process we'll set up a zoom planning call to discuss outfits for the entire family. I also have a feminine wardrobe with over 60 dresses (sizes XS-XXXL) and a baby wardrobe for sizes 0-18 months. Together, we'll make sure everyone looks and feels their best for the photo session.

Are digitals included in our Portland newborn session?

Digital images can be purchased during your reveal and ordering appointment. Most of my clients choose to purchase their digital images in addition to heirloom albums and custom framed artwork. I encourage you to really think about how you want to enjoy your images 10, 20 years from now. How do you plan on displaying your images in the future? I'm here to help you bring your photos to life in your home, making sure they don't get lost on outdated technology.
