Our Services
01.Birth Preparation Session
This session is for families who want to feel more informed, supported, and emotionally prepared for labor, birth, and postpartum. We talk through your questions, concerns, and hopes in a calm, conversational way so you can better understand what to expect and how to move through your birth experience with clarity.
02.Birth Preferences Preparation Session
This session helps you better understand your options and clarify what matters most to you as you prepare for birth. Instead of a rigid “birth plan,” we focus on creating a flexible, informed set of preferences that can support you as decisions arise during labor. This is about understanding, not controlling.
03.Labor + Birth Photography
Labor and birth photography documents the full arc of your birth experience, from active labor through the first moments with your baby. This work is approached quietly and respectfully, allowing your experience to unfold naturally while preserving the emotion, strength, connection, and transformation that birth holds. Rather than directing or staging moments, my role is to witness and document your story with care, presence, and sensitivity to the birth space.
04."Arrived" Fresh 48
The first hours with your baby are often quiet, emotional, and fleeting. “Arrived” Fresh 48 sessions are designed to preserve those early moments exactly as they unfold, naturally, gently, and without posing. These sessions take place within the first 24 to 48 hours after birth, either in the hospital or at home, and focus on connection, detail, and the beginning of your family’s new rhythm together.
05.In-Home Newborn - 45 min
In-Home Newborn Sessions are designed to document this season exactly as it feels, with your baby in your arms, in the spaces where your family is settling into life together. These sessions take place in your home during the first weeks of your baby's life and focus on connection, detail, and the natural rhythm of your family. Rather than heavily posed newborn photography, this experience is baby-led and lifestyle focused, allowing time for feeding, soothing, cuddling, and simply being together
06.In-Home Newborn - 90 min
