How It Works
I don’t sell RAW images because they are not a finished product — they’re the digital equivalent of an undeveloped film negative. They’re meant to be processed, refined, and brought to life through my style, my lighting choices, and my editing expertise.
Do you provide RAW (unedited) images?
Every session is a little bit different, but you can expect to receive a minimum of 20 digital images per session.
How many images do you provide?
Yes! Including your partner, older children, or even pets creates meaningful family-centered images that highlight your connection before the new baby arrives.
Can my Partner & kids be included?
I will keep an eye on the weather and be in communication with you as we approach your scheduled session. If we need to reschedule, we can absolutely do that.
Can we reschedule if the weather is bad?
Outdoor maternity photography can take place at local parks, fields, beaches, or other scenic spots around New Richmond, WI. I’ll help you choose the perfect location based on your vision and comfort. If you would like studio and outdoor, we'll do them at my home studio in Emerald, WI.
Where do outdoor maternity sessions take place?
Studio sessions provide a timeless, intimate, and controlled environment, while outdoor sessions offer natural light, scenic backdrops, and seasonal beauty. Many moms-to-be even choose a mix of both.
Should I choose a studio or an outdoor maternity photoshoot?
Flowy dresses, fitted gowns, and simple neutral tones photograph beautifully. I provide style guidance and can suggest outfits that work best for both indoor studio lighting and outdoor golden-hour settings. I also have a few outfits for you to borrow if you choose.
What should I wear for a maternity photoshoot?
Most families book maternity photography between 28–34 weeks of pregnancy, when your bump is beautifully round but before you’re too close to delivery.

Newborn Session
Life with a newborn is unpredictable — I keep room in my schedule to adjust as needed. Just let me know when the baby is here, and we’ll make it work.
What if my baby arrives early or late?
Don’t worry for a second. This is why I am a baby-led photographer. Babies cry, wiggle, and wake up — it’s all normal. I work gently and patiently, following your baby’s cues to keep them comfortable and content.
What if my baby is fussy or doesn’t sleep?
Yes — for studio sessions, I provide simple, timeless wraps and minimal props designed to keep the focus on your little one. In-home sessions keep it natural: your baby in a swaddle, a plain onesie, or just skin-to-skin in your arms.
Do you provide wraps or props for the baby?
Most sessions last 60–90 minutes, leaving plenty of room for feeding, soothing, and breaks. Your baby leads the way — I follow their pace to keep everything calm and comfortable.
How long does a newborn session last?
No need for perfection — promise. I look for the best pockets of light and guide you from there. A quick tidy of the main spaces (bedroom, nursery, living room) is all you need. I’ll take care of the rest.
How do I prepare for an in-home session?
Studio sessions offer a cozy, controlled space with soft natural light, wraps, props, and everything needed for simple, timeless portraits. In-home sessions are relaxed and lifestyle-driven. I document your family in the comfort of your own space, focusing on connection, cuddles, and the details you don't want to forget.
What’s the difference between an in-home and a studio session?
Soft, neutral colors photograph beautifully, keeping the focus on your baby. After booking, you’ll receive a styling guide and personalized outfit suggestions for the whole family. Studio clients also have access to select wraps & simple newborn pieces.
What should we wear?
Most families book during the second trimester to guarantee a spot. I reserve your due date on my calendar, and once the baby arrives, we will choose the perfect session day together.

Frequently Asked Questions for Newborn Photography
Family Session
Maternity Session
Newborn Session
Yes! Pets are welcome too — they’re part of the family!
Can we include pets?
Life happens — especially with kids. Just reach out, and we’ll reschedule for a day when everyone feels their best.
What if someone gets sick?
If it’s raining, snowing hard, or extremely windy, we’ll reschedule for the next available date or move indoors. Light clouds, however, photograph beautifully — so we don’t automatically reschedule for overcast days.
What if the weather doesn’t cooperate?
I expect wiggles, shyness, big feelings, and everything in between. I keep sessions playful and patient, letting your children be themselves. Some of the sweetest images come from those in-between moments.
What if my kids don’t cooperate?
Family sessions typically last 45–60 minutes, giving us time to warm up, play, and capture natural moments without pushing anyone past their limit — especially little ones.
How long is the session?
We can photograph your family outdoors, in your home, or in my studio, depending on the look you're going for. I’ll help you choose a location with beautiful light and a relaxed atmosphere.
Where do sessions take place?
Soft, coordinated neutrals photograph beautifully and keep the focus on your connection. After booking, you’ll receive a styling guide and personalized outfit suggestions — so getting dressed won’t feel stressful.
What should we wear?
Most families book 1–3 months in advance, especially for the fall. If you have a specific season or location in mind, the earlier the better.
