Maternity, Birthing and Newborn Photography Session:

It is true that no time repeats itself exactly, but that is especially true of the time from 34 weeks pregnant thru a newborn's first month. From the fullness of the pregnant figure to the excitement and emotion of birth to the impossibly delicate features of a newborn, this 3 month window in time passes so quickly. Just as no two newborns are exactly the same, neither are two pregnancies. It is our honor to create a timeless, lasting keepsake in our portraits of this unique time in a families life.

We offer several Session Packages. Our Maternity and Newborn Session packages are listed and described below and may be scheduled individually at the rates listed or at a $100.00 savings if scheduled at the same time. (Exact date for the Newborn Session not required for the discounted session fee.)

Please contact us when you are ready for more information or wish to book a session with us. We currently are booking a minimum of two-three months out for Birth Sessions and between two to four weeks for Maternity and Newborn Sessions.

Birth Session - by Photographerlink Photographer Elizabeth

We are proud to offer the unique service of Birth Photography. This highly sensitive, rewarding work is done with excellent communication and respect for your wishes. Two packages (one half day and one full day) are available and may be reserved individually or in combination with our Maternity and Newborn sessions.

Maternity Session

Typically scheuled for between week 34-37 of your pregnancy (week 29-32 if expecting mulitples) this special session captures you in full pregancy glory. Many women worry so much about the extra baby pounds they gain that they often lose sight of how perfect their bodies are until they are no longer pregnant. I take great pride in illustrating this natural beauty that can be reflected upon and enjoyed for a lifetime . No other time in our mothering lives is quite like the hope and promise of pregancy. My Maternity Sessions are very specialized from in-studio to on- location, fully clothed, partially layered in silk and satin to tastefully bare. Parnters are always welcome in the session and are encouraged to pose for pictures too. Is there a soon to be big brother or big sister? Let us know and we can add them to our session as well.

NewBorn Session

While many photographers would prefer to photograph your baby when she/he can first hold up their head or smile, I love to have their first session before 4 weeks old if possible. Many tender moments happen while you are bonding with your new family member in those early weeks and this interaction is priceless. In addition to the interaction between baby and parent, I also like to capture those little baby parts - ears, fingers, toes, eyes, mouth - that seem to grow so quickly.
