There’s nothing more magical than capturing the pure innocence and beauty of a newborn. And when it comes to simplicity and snuggling up with the sweetest little ones, my Mini Wrapped Sessions have become a client favorite. Just like this beautiful baby girl, who was an absolute dream during her session, these sessions are a perfect way to get those precious newborn photos, quickly and affordably.

This little angel arrived ready to shine! Wrapped snugly in soft, cozy fabrics, she slept peacefully throughout the entire session. Her tiny hands and feet peeking out of the wrap were just too precious to resist. It’s always a joy to watch how babies naturally settle into the wraps, looking so content and calm. The simplicity of these sessions highlights their natural beauty and allows for a very relaxed experience.

The best part? Mini Wrapped Sessions are designed to be quick, which is perfect for new parents who might be feeling overwhelmed or tired from those early days. These sessions typically last about an hour, so it’s not too taxing for baby (or for parents). I provide all the wraps and blankets, so you don’t have to worry about anything except enjoying these moments.

Since the baby is wrapped the entire time, the focus is entirely on their sweet little face, those tiny details, and their peacefulness. It’s amazing how much personality can shine through, even in a simple wrap. I keep it cozy and comfortable for your little one while still creating beautiful, timeless images you’ll cherish forever.

Mini Wrapped Sessions are also a great way to capture newborn photos without committing to a longer session. These affordable, low-stress sessions are perfect for parents who want to preserve those early moments without breaking the bank. It’s all about keeping it simple, serene, and straightforward while still giving you high-quality newborn portraits.

I absolutely adore these sessions because of how relaxed they are, and it’s such an honor to capture these precious memories for families. If you’re looking for a quick, stress-free way to capture those early days, a Mini Wrapped Session might be just what you need.

If you’re interested in booking a Mini Wrapped Session, feel free to reach out! I’d love to help you capture those unforgettable moments with your newborn.

Being the youngest and fourth child in the family is an incredibly special experience. As a newborn, there’s something uniquely wonderful about the love and attention that surrounds you. You’re not only the newest member of the family but also the last in line, which often makes you feel extra cherished.

As the fourth child, your parents have had years of experience, which means they’re more confident, relaxed, and equipped to handle the chaos of raising children. They’ve learned what matters most and are able to give you lots of love, affection, and attention while still managing everything else. You get the benefit of being part of a family that already has its rhythm, and that comes with a deep sense of security and love.

Your older siblings, who are likely well-established in their personalities and roles, also play an important part in your life. With a few years on you, they are eager to help and often feel a sense of pride in guiding and protecting you. Whether it’s teaching you how to ride a bike or simply making you laugh with silly antics, they make sure you’re included, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

The love surrounding you as the youngest is undeniable. You’re the baby of the family, and that special position often means you’re showered with cuddles, smiles, and constant attention. Your older siblings might feel like little protectors, keeping an eye out for you, and your parents pour all their affection into you, knowing you’re the final piece of their family puzzle.

Being the fourth child, you’re loved not just for who you are but for the joy and completeness you bring. You’re the cherry on top, adding a fresh burst of energy and happiness to the family. From day one, you’ve been embraced in a world of love, warmth, and togetherness—making your journey through life an incredibly special one. You are so very loved, little man!

There’s something uniquely exciting about the future that unfolds for a baby boy. The thought of watching him grow up, learn, and discover the world around him brings a sense of joy that is hard to describe. From his first steps to his first words, to the day he discovers his own passions and personality, watching him evolve is an adventure of its own.

Many parents find themselves daydreaming about what their son might become. Perhaps a brilliant scientist, a talented artist, or a compassionate leader. Whatever it may be, there’s something deeply precious about knowing that this little person, just days old, holds infinite potential.  Newborn and toddler boys always take me back to when my son was that age and it makes me wish I could go back, even for just a day.

From the very moment my son, River entered this world, I knew my heart was forever changed. There’s something indescribable about the bond you feel with your child the instant you lay eyes on them. With River, it was no different. As a newborn, his little face—soft, innocent, and full of possibility—captured my heart in a way nothing else ever could. I loved him deeply from the moment he was born, and that love has only grown stronger with each passing day.

As I look back on the years, from his first days as a newborn to his latest triumphs as a teenager, I realize that this journey of parenthood is a full circle of love. It’s a love that deepens with each phase of his life, a love that evolves but never fades. Watching him grow, find his passions, and forge his own path has been an absolute privilege.

No matter how much time passes, I know one thing will always remain constant: my love for River. Whether he’s laughing as a toddler, playing basketball as a teen, or venturing into new parts of life as an adult, I’ll always be here—cheering him on, supporting him, and marveling at the amazing person he’s becoming.

Soak up all of the moments, parents.  I know it’s hard when you are exhausted and can only think about getting some sleep but trust me when I tell you, one day you will look back and wonder where the time went, really missing that innocent little baby that you once held in your arms.  I miss the nights of rocking my kids and  singing all of our songs at bedtime in the soft glow of the light up mobile above their bed.  I would give anything to get to do that again. Now I have teenagers who barely hug me!  lol  Thankfully I have a job where I get to snuggle babies.

While studio photos can be beautiful, there’s something irreplaceable about the warmth of your own space for in-home lifestyle newborn photos. The pillows on your couch, the family heirloom blanket, or even the way your living room reflects your family’s personality—it’s all part of the story I’m telling with my camera. I want to capture the essence of your new life as a family, and there’s no better way to do that than by photographing you in the environment where you spend the most time together.

In-home sessions also give us the chance to document those quiet moments in a way that feels natural. I can capture those little details, like a sleepy snuggle in the nursery, a parent gazing down lovingly at their newborn, or a sibling gently holding the baby’s hand. All of these moments are elevated by the natural light that gently spills through the windows, casting a soft glow that’s as much a part of the scene as the people in it.

Another reason I gravitate toward in-home lifestyle sessions is that they’re much more relaxed. There’s no need for parents to worry about coordinating outfits, packing up the baby, or heading to a studio. You’re already home, in your element, with all the things you need right at your fingertips. Babies are most comfortable in their own environment, which means they’re more likely to be calm and relaxed during the session—leading to photos that are full of genuine, peaceful expressions.

The atmosphere of your home creates a kind of serene energy, and as I work, I get to witness those quiet, beautiful moments between you and your newborn. I’m there to document the real connection—no stress, no posing, just you being you, with the soft light adding that perfect finishing touch.
