I'm Michelle
Because you shouldn’t have to choose just one moment to remember, this is your way to hold on to the whole story.
Because some moments are meant to be seen as they unfold, movement, emotion, and the beauty of this season, just as it was.
This sweet family just welcomed their new baby boy, Henry. I just blogged their maternity session – it seems like it was only yesterday! Click here to see those radiant photos – the mother daughter moments they shared were my fav. Also, because they are part of the Collective Membership Program, I get to document all of their precious milestone memories of their growing family for the next year! I cannot wait to watch their little bundle grow over the next several months.
Going from one to two children is a learning curve, as each of you adjust to your new normal. Your first baby is eager to become a big sibling, mom might be nervous about how her relationship with her first baby might change, and dad is soaking it all in as he watches his family grow. Though there’s lots of emotion during this sweet time in your life, we will provide a completely stress-free and amazing experience for your new family! Through candid, natural, and organic imagery of you being you, to letting everyone have their time in front of the camera with the newborn, to simply enjoying this sweet time together as a growing family, these photo sessions are a wonderful experience that celebrates your parenthood journey.
So much changes within the first year, as your tiny love goes from newborn to one year old. The time you have with them is so fleeting and sacred, from bump to baby! And having beautiful imagery that leaves you breathless is an investment worth making. Your new baby’s journey to “one”, from maternity to their first birthday, is one that you will look back on with love and fondness as you reflect on the memories you’ve documented over the year.
Tiny toes, that button nose, a squishy smile, and rolls for days – your newborn’s features are ones you’ll want to (and will!) stare at for hours on end. Memorizing every inch of their tiny frame is made simpler when you have gorgeous imagery of their sweet features! I love to get those perfect detail shots of babies for mamas and dads to always remember how tiny their little ones were.
I would love to work with you and your family to capture timeless, organic imagery of your life’s biggest milestones! Contact me to book your maternity and/or newborn sessions today.

These photographs become treasures passed through generations. Your children will one day hold these images close, seeing themselves through your loving eyes and discovering the quiet grace that surrounded their earliest days.

If this season feels tender, beautiful, or just a little fleeting, it may be His way of inviting you to pause and hold it close. I’d be honored to walk with you.
Gorgeous family. So many beautiful moments you captured.
That first black and white one is stunning. Beautiful session.
These are gorgeous, and how amazing is the light in that house!?! Beautiful!
What a dreamy session!
