My passion for being a newborn photographer stems from my personal journey through infertility, miscarriage, high risk pregnancy, and the near loss of my first born son at 22 weeks gestation. To finally get to that moment when you hold a newborn child in your arms is no small feat. It deserves to be documented beautifully. Photographing children with special needs is also something close to my heart.
It began with friends and family who had children with special needs. They found traditional photography studios upset their children because they did not set them up for success. I began learning ways to accommodate children with special needs so they could be photographed like any typically developing child. It has become even more personal now that one of my sons has been diagnosed with autism and ODD.
As a professional photographer, I feel it is important to keep myself educated. I take classes regularly to keep my photography fresh and exciting. Yearly photography conventions are where I learn about new techniques, trends, and products.

A photography studio can be a scary place for a child with special needs.
A busy and contrived atmosphere combined with large flashing lights can be overwhelming.
This can make it impossible to get that yearly family portrait or the beautiful photos every parent wants of their children.
It is my goal to provide a photography experience that is relaxed, comfortable, and completely tailored to your child's needs so that you can have those desired photographs hanging in your home.
When you book a session for your child with special needs with me, you can expect a very customized experience.
