If you’re expecting and looking for a Gloucester VA maternity and newborn photographer, I would love to capture this special time for your family.

My Approach

My approach to maternity and newborn photography is relaxed, natural, and centered around genuine connection. I focus on creating a comfortable experience where you can simply be present in the moment while I guide you as needed. Whether we’re capturing the excitement of pregnancy or the quiet, early days with your baby, my goal is to document it in a way that feels authentic and true to your family.

What to Expect: Maternity Sessions

What to Expect: Newborn Sessions

Newborn sessions are calm, flexible, and completely baby-led to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience.

Sessions typically last 2–4 hours to allow time for feeding, soothing, and breaks

It’s recommended to feed baby right before the session and try to keep them awake beforehand if possible

A relaxed environment where parents can sit back and enjoy the experience

I gently guide and handle baby throughout the session while you relax

Focus on natural posing, connection, and detail

These sessions take place within the first 1–3 weeks after birth, when babies are still very sleepy and curled.

Bundling Your Session

Many families choose to book both maternity and newborn sessions to document the full journey into parenthood. Bundling allows for a seamless experience and a consistent, timeless look across your images. Options for a full year package are also available to capture every milestone in baby's first year.

Watching Your Family Grow

The early days go by quickly, but they’re just the beginning. As your baby grows, those milestones—from first smiles to first steps—are just as meaningful to capture. Many families continue with yearly family sessions to document each new chapter.
