Motherhood

Maternity, Birth & Fresh 48

My approach is natural, laid back and fun. It's a time of anticipation, change and excitement....all of which should be documented!

Maternity

Photographing mothers-to-be is one of my favorite things to do as a professional photographer. I love the joy, beauty and significance of maternity photography. There truly is a certain glow that only pregnant women possess. We can have the photo shoot at a outdoor location or in studio.

I see beauty in every birth.......


Serving families across Northwest Ohio, your birth will be full of beautiful moments that are worth remembering. With over 15 years experience and a degree in the medical field, being in the hospital feels natural and relaxed to me. Let's CHAT!!


Birth


Birth photography is capturing your journey as you become a mother. It documents the presence and support of those surrounding you. It freezes time, allowing you to relive one of life’s greatest moments, the moment when your baby is finally in your arms. It’s the pure joy on your partner’s face, the proud siblings, excited grandparents, and all those fleeting details of your first few hours together.

Fresh 48


Fresh 48 sessions are perfect to capture the first yawns, cute little fingers, flaky skin, and the belly button of your newborn baby. I never forget about tiny toes! In other words, FRESH 48 photography is a very special session for those families who want to keep memories of the very first few hours of their newborn’s life without capturing the entire labor. Held within the first 24-48 hours of your baby’s life, these lifestyle sessions can be done when  older siblings come to welcome their tiny family member. First feedings, first diaper changes, first kisses, and hugs will never repeat! I will document these priceless moments for you.....
