Services
First, thank you for stopping by.
I pour my heart and soul into my photography and when people view it, I feel like you are getting to know me on a very personal level!
I also share photos of my daughters on here as well and I am happy to share everything that makes my heart beat.
I was born and raised in Southern California and recently moved to the Portland Metro Area to have a better life for our children.
It was a tough move to make but, it was wonderful to move to a place that is better for our family.

Newborn sessions are so fun and I feel so grateful that my clients select me to capture these special and unique times in their babies life.
I prefer to do newborn sessions between 4-12 days old (but not required).
I prefer to do sessions at this time so that the babies are still able to be moved around a lot and are very sleepy!
As you may know, newborns are not generally happy wide awake so we want them to be sleepy at their session.
I never rush a baby and I will not force them into a pose that they are not happy with, I respect your child as I would my own and I feel very strongly about making sure that your baby is safe and comfortable.

Your session will be at my home studio and I have a few recommendations for you before you arrive.
I need babies extra sleepy to be cooperative so, please follow my advice.
I provide all the backdrops and props that we will need for our session.
I only ask that you bring extra diapers, child's pacifier, formula or breastmilk in a bottle, or mama for nursing.
If baby has been circumcised, please be sure to bring gauze and cream for diaper changes.
Try to keep baby awake 2-3 hours (at least 1 hour) before their session to tire them out.

I love to shoot on location, I prefer a more natural look to photos so, the beach, park or mountains are a great place to start.
Babies and children do best when they are fed and well rested, so try to plan accordingly.
Sessions will last approximately 45 minutes to an hour.
The best time of day to photograph is early morning before the sun has completely come up or in the early evening, just before sunset.
Several consultations via phone or email will also be included to go over location options, clothing choices and the overall look you are seeking from the session.

After your session, I will try to put up a sneak peak of images from your session on my business Instagram page.
This sneak peek to give you a little taste of what some of your photos will look like.
It will be on my page 1-2 days after your session so please be on the lookout.
If it is during my busy seasons, the sneak peeks may take longer.
The gallery of proofs take 2-3 weeks to get up on the website.
I guarantee a gallery of 30 images but I may put more depending on your session.
After you select the images for your package, it will be an additional 2-3 weeks to receive your images.
