As Seen On

As a mama who has experienced the challenge of finding a perfect photographer, I get the concerns that come during the process. When I was pregnant, I was a wedding photographer and didn't understand how different newborn photography is. I can still remember feeling overwhelmed by having to pick the best photographer for my maternity shoot, having no idea what I should expect, or even how to coordinate outfits and style. I wish I'd had someone to guide my through the whole process! 

At my Portland, Oregon photography studio, I love providing a guided, custom experience for families seeking boutique photography —  maternity, newborn, and more. Our team takes care of everything: wardrobe styling, session design and preparation, to hair and makeup. All you need to do is show up and enjoy the session. Our clients tell us that we offer the best photography experience that they've ever had.

Not as much as you might think! All you need to pay for your session is my studio's Creative Fee of $175. This pays for your studio time, use of props, me and my assistant, etc. Artwork and files are purchased separately, so you only purchase the photos you love! Check out my photo pricing menu.

It can certainly be added to your maternity session, and it's definitely worth considering! I work with handpicked professionals who would style you at the studio before photography begins. The average cost for this add-on is $200. If you're interested, I'll can provide you with a quote.

Do you offer digital photos?

Absolutely! My signature newborn sessions are 4 hours, which gives us plenty of time to squeeze in photos with mom and dad. Older siblings are also welcome. However, there isn't sufficient time for photos of baby with other extended family.
