THE NEWBORN EXPERIENCE
Welcome your baby with gentle, authentic lifestyle photography that focuses on connection over perfection. I offer both tender, first-hours Fresh 48 hospital sessions and relaxed in-home newborn sessions tailored to your family's comfort. If you would rather use my studio instead, it's all ready for you! Dates are flexible, shoots are free from heavy props or stiff posing. My approach captures the raw emotion, tiny details, and quiet bond of your expanding family in the places where you feel safest.
Creating Your Legacy: What Your Session Fee Covers
$450
When you book a session, your flat-rate fee does so much more than just reserve a date on my calendar. It officially welcomes your family into my creative care, securing your exclusive spot as a cherished client. From that moment on, my focus is entirely on telling your unique story.
Your investment covers the dedicated time, heart, and artistry poured into your experience:
Tailored planning: A consultation before our shoot. Personal guidance on styling, access to my lifestyle newborn space, or travel to your home to ensure your family shines comfortably.
A relaxed session: A fun, unhurried experience where your baby and their siblings' needs are all met.
Heartfelt services: Breakfast from a local bakery & coffee delivered on the morning of our shoot. Polariods taken during our shoot. Gentle, playful coaching that captures authentic laughter and quiet, loving bonds.
Artistic hand-editing: Hours spent carefully selecting and polishing each frame to bring out its raw beauty.
The grand reveal: Your first look at your family's magic inside a private, beautiful online gallery.
Please note: The session fee preserves my time and dedication to your family during the shoot. Digital files, custom prints, and heirloom albums are purchased separately after your gallery reveal.
All digital images are included in each print package. These professional, lifetime-quality print combinations range from $250-$1500.
"Kate I'm speechless! These are so special and amazing. You captured everything so perfectly. I cannot thank you enough for preserving these special moments in what was a blurry time for a tired mama. I love them so much!

IN-HOME SESSIONS
An in-home lifestyle newborn session is all about capturing your family’s real, unscripted love in the comfort of your own space. Rather than forcing your baby into stiff, unnatural poses, I focus on the tender, everyday moments: cuddling on the master bed, rocking in the nursery, and welcoming siblings and beloved pets into the frame.
To ensure the entire experience is completely effortless, I remove all the pressure from mom long before session day. It starts with a 30-minute in-home consultation prior to your due date, where we plan your wardrobe, tour your spaces, and iron out every detail so you don't have to think about a thing when baby arrives.
On the morning of your session, I arrive at your doorstep with freshly baked goods and hot coffee, allowing you to relax and fuel up while I set up. Best of all, you won't have to wait weeks to see your memories; I snap and leave you with instant Polaroid prints that very morning, giving you tangible pieces of your baby's first days to hold onto immediately.
On gallery delivery day, you will receive over 70 digital images from our time together, as well as access to my print store to create beautiful keepsakes.

FRESH 48
A Fresh 48 session is a lifestyle portrait experience captured at the hospital or birthing center within the very first 48 hours of your baby’s life. Unlike a birth photography session, this is a quiet, relaxed, 30 minute visit focused on documenting those fleeting, miraculous moments before you head home.
I capture the brand-new features of your baby—the wrinkled skin, tiny hospital bracelets, and sleepy yawns—along with the raw, emotional bond as parents, siblings, and grandparents meet the newest family member for the first time. Just like my in-home sessions, this experience is entirely stress-free. There is no need for styling or perfect outfits; we focus purely on the authentic magic of these first hours. Best of all, I leave you with instant Polaroid prints right there in your hospital room, giving you tangible memories of your baby's first days to hold in your hands immediately.
On gallery delivery day, you will receive over 50 digital images from our time together, as well as access to my print store to create beautiful keepsakes.

What Moms are Saying
Our time with Kate was simply magical. Kate's incredible talent shines when you are with her and in the gallery you receive. She somehow is able to pick out each unique personality and magnify it in her photos. Not only is she talented (I mean, have you seen her work?!), she was an absolute JOY to work with. Her energy is infectious, and she creates this amazingly loving and judge-free environment that allows you to actually ENJOY the process.
Melissa
Kate is the BEST! We have done two newborn shoots with her and she made both of them so fun and seamless for our whole family (even my husband, who hates pictures!). She truly goes above and beyond to make the shoot itself—not just the pictures—an amazing experience. I think part of her unique gift is helping us to completely relax and just be ourselves because she is so confident and competent behind the camera.
CassaDY
If you want to feel like your lifelong & incredibly talented best friend is taking photos you'll treasure forever, then Kate is your gal! Kate has taken our family photos twice and both have been exemplary experiences.The photos Kate has captured are timeless and beautiful memories of our growing family - you'll squeal when you see them for the first time. I cannot recommend Kate and her craft highly enough.

Kate did our maternity photos for our second baby. Our toddler usually shies away from the camera but Kate won her over almost immediately! She captured the sweetest moments between us and her editing is superb. Her photos are some of my absolute all time favorites. Highly recommend Kate!!!
Alexandria
Kate’s uncanny ability to capture our twin toddlers’ unique personalities is simply amazing! She’s not only an expert in her field, but her passion and creativity is unmatched. She made our family session feel more like playtime than forced family photos. We’ll be clients for life!
