I don’t have to tell you how special this time is.

There’s truly nothing like a life unfolding within the body, the glow of new parenthood, and those dreamy days after a baby is born.

But let’s not gloss over how difficult it can feel to navigate all the changes. The sheer exhaustion. How a new child becomes the glorious upending of the world as we know it.

I’m here for all of it. You may not remember the water colored haze of having a new baby and the days surrounding birth, but when you honor that time with a session with me, the photos become lasting family heirlooms that help tell the story of your family for generations.

You’re dreaming of a maternity or newborn session that feels relaxed and joyful

and authentic to your life, not someone else’s pinterest board.

You’re house is a mess and you don’t feel “photo ready”

Well of course! You just had a baby. Expecting anything else would be madness. It’s my job (and pleasure) to find the beauty in your life, just as it is in this moment.

You want something a little different

Me too. Every session is custom and built to capture the truth and beauty of your life right now.

Single Sessions and First Year Collections

I can’t tell you how often I hear from parents that they wished they’d had the presence of mind to document their child’s first full year.

I make it easy with these options:

HAZY DAYS COLLECTION: Document a full year! Three sessions to coincide with first-year milestones of your choice, such as a pregnancy, newborn, 6 months and 1 year. All the details of this collection are below.

SINGLE SESSION: We’ll work together to find the time and place that make you feel your most beautiful—before you give birth, afterward or both. This is an excellent option for someone visiting Los Angeles, if you have one very specific idea in mind, or if your plans for the next year are in flux.

Hazy Days –

Documenting the first year

Images of first year of baby's life

You want maternity and newborn photographs, and more special moments from throughout the year.

This is my premium product for expecting couples. It includes three full, custom sessions to coincide with first-year milestones, such as a pregnancy, newborn, 6 months and 1 year. This package also includes an optional add on of a 10-image Snapshot session, which can be used at any point within the year. Clients typically use this for a maternity shoot, if they want to save all three full sessions for once the baby comes; visits with extended family; or for documenting an unexpected chapter in their family’s story, such as the arrival of a new pet. Snapshot sessions are not available à la carte; they are only available for my clients who have purchased the Hazy Days collection.

This collection also includes a significant print credit, so you leave this experience with photo books or prints for your wall that you’ll be able to admire with your child for decades to come.
