NEWBORN
Newborn photos are best done when baby is 7 to 21 days old because babies are usually still quite sleepy and easily posed. Safety, comfort, and the well being of your child are the main focus of the session. Newborn sessions are baby led and plenty of time is taken to allow for baby to be fed, cuddled, and changed so that baby is comfortable throughout the session. Newborn Sessions usually lasts between 2 to 3 hours. During the session, the baby is placed on several different decors. I use various fabric backdrops, baskets, wooden bowls, outfits, hats, headbands, and other accessories. I prefer natural poses with soft colors and materials which provide a classic, timeless look to the images. Parents also have the option of taking photos with their newborn, both separately and together. Siblings can be included as well. Newborn sessions take place in my home studio located in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The studio is a warm, inviting, cozy, and safe space where we can capture precious memories of your baby's first few days in the world. My goal is for you to have a stress-free and relaxing experience while baby has their first portraits.
SITTER
Sitter photo sessions are usually done when baby is between 6 and 9 months old and typically lasts about 45 minutes to one hour. Babies are very expressive and curious at this age. During the session, photos can be taken on several different backgrounds, on their tummy and back, and sitting if able or sitting in a basket if still needing support. There are cute outfits and hats available in the studio that can be used during the session. A sitter photo session is a great way to capture your baby's personality and developmental milestones with beautiful, timeless photos.
CAKE SMASH
Cake Smash photo sessions are a great way to celebrate your child's first birthday. Included in the session is a beautiful, simple white cake made especially for your child. Cake smash sessions usually lasts around an hour. During the session, we start by taking photos without the cake so that you can have beautiful portraits of your child. Then, we take photos of your child with the cake and the session finishes with some photos in a small bathtub with bubbles to get cleaned up. These cake smash photos are great to use on a birthday invitation or to treasure as a precious memory.
STUDIO MATERNITY
Studio maternity sessions are the perfect opportunity to celebrate yourself and create a lasting memory of your pregnancy. The ideal time to schedule a maternity session is when you are between 28 and 36 weeks. During this time frame, your baby bump is showing, but you're not too close to baby's arrival. Maternity sessions take place in my home studio in Cheyenne, Wyoming. This ensures quality lighting and no need to reschedule if the weather doesn't cooperate. Maternity sessions usually lasts around 30-45 minutes to and can include multiple outfits and photos with your partner.
