The moment you discover you are pregnant you are flooded with emotions of love and anxiety (and maybe a little morning sickness). Once baby is born, those emotions come even stronger. Every moment is new and precious. Every sensation is a memory you never want to forget: the way she smells, his tiny fingers wrapped around yours, the softness of her brand new skin. From the time your little one is born, you try to soak up every moment. A photograph can capture that moment in time and bring back those feelings every time you look at it.

As a newborn photographer in Ithaca, I enjoy having the opportunity to meet with you before your session. I can stop by your home to see where you might like to hang your photos, what colors you have planned in the nursery, and to talk about your interests and your vision for the session. I focus on the simplicity of newborns by using props and colors that highlight your newborns features, instead of overwhelm them. Mom, Dad, and siblings are all welcome and encouraged to join in. The connection between a parent and their newborn babe is something that can transcend a photograph and be felt by all who view it. My goal is to create a memory, a moment in a piece of art that you will be able to pass down for generations.

Babies are photographed within the first 5 to 14 days of life. On the day of your session, I will try to make you as relaxed as possible. I want you to enjoy every minute with your brand new baby. Most sessions are about three hours in length. We will take our time, making sure your new little one is nice and sleepy. Once that happens, I will be able to pose him or her, as comfortably as possible. We can take as many breaks as you both may need for feeding and diaper changes. 

In order to guarantee a spot in my schedule, please book around your second trimester, although sessions may be booked anytime.

If you’d like to meet for a pre-consultation, please contact me.
