For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. Psalm 139:13

Birth Session...$400
Birth Sessions include a pre-birth consultation around 36 weeks. We will discuss what to expect, what moments you wish captured, etc. We can also get to know each other during this visit so that I am not a stranger at your birth. I will be on-call 24/7 for 2 weeks before and after your due date, until the birth happens. Also included is photographic coverage from 6-7 cm dilated (active labor)and birth up to 2 hours afterward. Included in the Birth Session package are all edited photos on a high-resolution cd and a print release.

Newborn Session...$350
This session is for newborn and parents only. Siblings are welcome to join if arrangements are made to bring sibling in towards the end of the session. My newborn sessions last anywhere from 1 - 3 hours. I do not rush the session. Those hours are spent celebrating, soothing, comforting and feeding your new precious bundle. This includes a minimum guarantee of 15 edited and retouched images in a secure online gallery (average galleries are 25-30 images).

The shoot must take place within the first two weeks of your baby's life - ideally between 5 to 10 days. For this reason, I highly recommend booking a tentative date in advance. I am often booked 2-3 months ahead of time. However, if you've just had your little bundle and are now looking for a newborn photographer, please don't hesitate to contact me. I am often able to squeeze a session in.

I come to your home to do the newborn session, which makes it easier on the new mama and the new little baby. You are in your own element and more relaxed. All the baby's things are readily available and it's just more comfortable to be in your own home, especially after just having a baby. I have a mobile studio that i will bring along. I promise I’m not moving in, but it will seem like it when i bring all the equipment and props in. I love doing classic, posed shots of baby as well as some of you interacting as a family.

Some clients worry that their house is too small or messy. Believe me when I say this, I will NOT judge you. I completely remember what it is like to have new little ones. The overwhelmed, sleep deprived days where all you want is a shower. Trust me, I’ve been there.

Session includes...time with me celebrating the arrival of your new baby, a minimum guarantee of 15 edited and retouched images in a secure online gallery (average galleries are 25-30 images), a high-resolution cd and a print release of all edited photography and a few "sneak peeks" of a few images {because I know you'll be super anxious to see the results}.

Fresh 48 Session...$75
Traditional hospital photos are awkward and the photographers (who are really just salespeople with a camera) can be pushy and annoying while you’re trying to get acquainted with your newest family member.

Let me alleviate the stress and I’ll stop by for a quick, 15-20 minute session to get some first photos of baby, Mom & Dad in the hospital. Your photos will be uploaded to Facebook within 48 hours so you can share great photos of your little bundle quickly.

This session must be booked in conjunction with the newborn session above; not available separately. Hospital or home births in central PA. Not available for twins, triplets, or other multiple births.

Session includes...15-20 minute session at the hospital, 15+ fully edited images, online viewing and ordering gallery and lots of "sneak peeks" to share.

Belly and Baby Package...$350
This session is for Mamas that want to document their pregnancy as well as the arrival of their sweet bundle. Images from your maternity session can be combined with the newborn portraits to make a gorgeous book! Also included are 25 adorable custom designed 5x7 birth announcements.

Oh baby! Package...$1000
Babies change so fast! From pregnancy to birthday cakes, capture every stage of your precious miracle with the Oh baby! Package.

This package includes a belly session, hospital mini session, newborn session and a baby session at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months (whole family can be included, up to 4 people).

Seed to Sapling Package…$800
This is the perfect way to capture all those special moments of your baby's first year. This package includes 3 sessions; newborn, 6-9 months and one year. This package has a total savings of $225! All sessions will include our time together as well as a high-res disc of 35-40 of the best, edited images along with a print release.

I think this package would be a wonderful gift from grandparents or from a group as a shower gift. As a new Mama, I would have loved receiving this keepsake of my child's first year. What an absolutely precious gift, preserving memories.
