Included in Your Experience
Studio Wardrobe
When you invest in a studio session with a Birmingham, Alabama newborn, baby, and maternity photographer, you gain full access to my extensive collection of props and wardrobe. From an abundant variety of newborn backdrops, blankets, headbands, and outfits to a growing selection of baby milestone outfits, I have everything needed to create timeless images. I also offer an ever-expanding maternity dress collection to help your bump shine beautifully.
Rainbow of Props
I maintain a full studio of newborn props in every color imaginable—and I love organizing them into a vibrant rainbow for perfectly coordinated sessions.
The Session
Relax and let me handle all the details so we can create stunning images together. With over 11 years of experience, I focus on keeping you and your family comfortable and stress-free, while seeking out those perfect, fleeting moments that make each session truly unforgettable.
I take care of every detail for your little one—from diaper changes and feedings to helping them fall asleep and keeping them comforted throughout the session. I always wear a mask to ensure their health and safety, and I use a thoughtful mix of wrapped and unwrapped poses within my specially designed workflow, keeping your baby cozy and secure while capturing all those precious memories.
Behind the Scenes
When working with newborns, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I handle each baby gently, using safe posing techniques and creating a calm, soothing environment to help them feel secure. My goal is to keep your little one relaxed, ensuring both beautiful images and a stress-free experience for the whole family.
Reveal and Ordering
Your beautiful images will be ready within a few weeks of your session. About a week after, you’ll select your favorite photos for me to edit and create gorgeous artwork. You can explore the Investment page to discover the carefully curated art pieces I offer—perfect for displaying your new artwork at home or sharing your album with family.
Delivery
Your digital images will be elegantly prepared and delivered within two weeks of your order. Custom products may take up to six weeks, allowing time for meticulous craftsmanship. Once your pieces are ready, I’ll personally reach out to coordinate either a private studio pickup or a curated delivery to your home, so you can begin enjoying your beautiful, timeless artwork.
