Remembering the sweet moments of life

and preserving them for years to come

Those precious first days with your newborn are filled with transition, beauty, and fleeting moments you’ll want to remember forever. As a mother of five, I know firsthand how quickly this time passes, which is why capturing it is so important.


What to Expect from Your Newborn Session

Newborn sessions are best scheduled when your baby is 5 to 10 days old but can be done up to 3 months of age. These sessions are focused on your family’s connection and love—filled with cuddles, snuggles, and meaningful moments.

Sessions typically last 1 to 3 hours, allowing plenty of time for feeding, comforting, and capturing those perfect shots. Individual photos of your baby will be included, but the heart of these sessions is your family’s bond with your newest addition.

Where Sessions Take Place

Newborn sessions are held in my cozy natural-light studio in Minden, Nebraska, designed to make you feel at ease. I also offer in-home sessions (travel fee may apply).

I can’t wait to work with you

AND create beautiful images of this precious time in your life!

Preparing for Your Session

Before your session, you’ll receive a questionnaire to help me tailor the experience to your family’s unique needs. During the session, I’ll guide you through poses and prompts to create natural, authentic images. My sessions are family-focused—no props, just your family’s love and connection. Parents and siblings are encouraged to participate. I have a small play area for little ones to stay entertained while they are not being photographed.

If your baby gets fussy, don’t worry—we’ll keep the environment calm and relaxed. My goal is to make this experience enjoyable and stress-free for your family.

It’s best to book your newborn session 2 to 3 months before your due date to secure availability. Contact me today through the button below to reserve your session and create memories you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
