The Details

Lifestyle studio sessions are a creative collaboration, an opportunity for us to work together to create images that reflect your personal style and the moments you want to remember. We can put on some favorite music and have a great time creating images that are beautiful and uniquely yours. You are welcome to do 1-2 outfit changes during the session.

I'll offer gentle posing and direction throughout your session, so you don't need to worry about knowing what to do in front of the camera. We'll find a balance between a little guidance and natural, relaxed moments that feel like you.

I encourage you to create a Pinterest board with images you're drawn to and send it my way before your session. It's a great way for me to get a feel for your style, what inspires you, and the overall look you're hoping to create. We don't need to recreate those images exactly, but they can be a wonderful starting point for making something that feels uniquely you.

The Studio

My studio is a blank canvas, with lots of natural light and soft white surroundings that allow you and your connection with your baby and partner to shine.

I have a couch, daybed, peacock chair, stools, and a variety of other chairs that we can incorporate into your session. We can also keep things completely simple with a bare wall and a minimalist setup. The window wall with white curtains is a nice element as well.

Ideas on what to wear

You are welcome to do 1-2 quick outfit changes if desired.

  • If you want to do photos with bare belly, I love this - just let me know and happy to chat through your vision and comfort level.

  • A pretty robe allows some skin to show but can also preserve a more modest image.

  • Think about simple earthy tones. These look great paired with a knit sweater, jean jacket, shawl or vest.

  • For dresses I love Baltic Born & Joyfolie. Poshmark and Facebook Marketplace are a great place to get dresses that have only been worn once or twice. I have a handful of bump friendly dresses available to borrow, if you are interested please let me know.

  • Pops of color are fun and add visual interest - I'm a huge fan of earthy oranges and yellows - a little can go a long way!

  • Texture always looks great in photos!

  • Wear what you feel comfortable and cute in.

  • Please avoid logos

  • Your favorite jeans and a nice t-shirt can look just as cute as a dress!

  • Don't forget about footwear! Bare feet can be an option for some of the images.

  • A cute hat is a fun way to add variety for a few pictures.
