From baby kicks to tiny toes—your story deserves to be beautifully told.
Your houston family
& motherhood Photographer
Specializing in Houston Newborn, Maternity & Children Photography
’m a baby whisperer, swaddle queen, and your go-to for artfully posed newborn and children's portraits (even when your little one shows up with strong opinions).
With 100+ sessions under my belt, I know exactly how to soothe, swaddle, and style your little one so you walk away with images that feel as effortless as they look.
I’ll guide every pose, smooth every blanket, and make sure every finger and toe is photo-ready. You just relax and soak in the sweetness—this is your moment, too.
This isn’t just about tiny toes and sweet poses—it’s about holding on to the feeling of their whole world fitting right into your arms. These early days slip by faster than we’d like, and I'm here to turn them into meaningful, lasting art that brings you back to the moment—every time you see it.
what to expect with a Houston family & Motherhood Photographer
My goal is for you to feel taken care of from the moment you inquire to the moment you hang your favorite photo on the wall.
My job is to make this process effortless, calm, and honestly... kind of fun.
Here’s what working together looks like:
01. Book Your Date
You’ll reach out with your due date, and I’ll hold space around it.
Babies come on their own time, and I plan for that. I’ll send over everything you need to feel confident and excited about what’s next.
02. Get Prepped (Without Lifting a Finger)
You’ll get a simple prep guide (plus outfit support if you want it). No overthinking. No pressure.
03. Breathe. I’ve Got You.
Whether your baby sleeps the whole time or wants to nurse every 20 minutes, I work around your rhythm! I’ll guide you the whole way so nothing feels stiff or forced.
04. Relive the Magic
After the session, we’ll meet again to view your images together. I’ll help you select your favorites and we’ll turn them into timeless artwork for your home.
Highly recommend for newborn shoots, she kept baby so comfortable and took her time with each pose to get the perfect photos. Such a great experience!!
