In the studio, I strive for the focus to be about your beautiful baby, not about the props or a busy set. Outside, I know having gorgeous scenery in the background of some of your photos is a bonus, but I promise you we can make magic together in a parking garage, too.
I genuinely believe some of the best images are created when focusing on the little, ordinary things in life like the way you hug your significant other or how you laugh together as a family. I want you to feel like you can show up to your session, simply be you, and know I'll take care of the rest. Not everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera when they first show up for their session, and that's okay!
After a decade in the industry, I've nailed down a flow that efficiently maximizes variety, gets those "grandparent worthy" photos, and also focuses on candid and creative captures, too. The goal is that you feel comfortable and have fun!
I also want to make the entire process of working together behind the scenes easy and uncomplicated, too. From signing a contract, to helping you decide what to wear, offering up specific locations that fit your vision, guiding you through poses and creating candid moments during your session, to downloading your images...
I will walk you through every simple step of the way.
my approach to photography is to keep it
simple.

It’s no secret that these sweet, little beings make Newborn Sessions my favorite sessions to photograph. So new. So squishy. So perfect. I love to capture all the details. The ones that will change so quickly; the ones you’ll want to remember forever. I photograph newborns within the first 3 weeks after birth to ensure we do just that. These sessions last an average of 2-3 hours, leaving enough time for all the feedings and cuddles in between sleeps. The studio is stocked with wraps, blankets, props, and accessories, and I love to use a mix of colors and neutral tones to create simple, timeless images. It is never too early to book your newborn session — in fact, it’s recommended that you contact me to book while you’re still pregnant, as I only take on a certain amount of these sessions per month. Already had your baby? I may still have last-minute availability, please contact me! P.S. there is no extra cost if you're having twins or multiples!

Family Sessions include immediate family members and take place outside about 1-2 hours before sunset. Before your session, we will discuss everything from location to suggestions on what to wear — all the details that will ultimately add up to make your vision come to life. My style is a mix of traditional looking-and-smiling photography and guided candid, lifestyle photography. I love to document the energy of your family, so capturing laughter, play, snuggling, and genuine emotion during my sessions is just as important to me as capturing the perfect family photo! Hoping to do your session in Acadia National Park? My MDI travel fee is a flat rate of $250 and includes a reserved rain date! *Returning client of mine? Reach out for more info about my Petite Session option (immediate family only) that I offer exclusively to my loyal, returning clients.

Getting the entire family together for a trip to Bar Harbor? Or maybe your grandparents are celebrating a milestone anniversary? Whatever the reason you're gathering, I'd love to get some special photos of your precious time as one big family! I only get to see my extended family one weekend a year (it's a fave weekend of mine!)... so these sessions have a special place in my heart, as I know how exciting it is to be together. Extended family sessions take place on-location about 1-2 hours before sunset. I always aim to get some photos of the entire group, and then break down the couples/families/kiddos to get a variety of groupings, in whatever way you'd like. My style is a mix of "look at me and smile" type photos, along with guided "lifestyle"/candid type poses. Traveling to Maine and hoping to do your session in Acadia National Park? My MDI travel fee is a flat rate of $250 and includes a special reserved rain date!

More than any other year of life, your baby changes SO much in the first year! They learn to smile, sit, roll over, crawl, stand, waddle... and they develop the sweetest personalities (not to mention those baby rolls!). All of these milestones can be perfectly captured in a simple Studio Baby session! I provide all of the wraps, blankets, props, accessories, and I now also offer a limited studio wardrobe of baby outfits for you to choose from if you so wish! These sessions focus only on baby, but photos with parents and/or siblings can be added on for a fee.
Want to celebrate baby's first birthday with a bang? For $150 more, add on a CAKE SMASH to your Studio Baby Session! Cake smash additions include a customized decorated set up in colors of your choice, a custom cake for your babe to smash from a local bakery, and additional digital images!

frequently asked questions
For newborn sessions, it's common for clients to book me as early as 6 months before their estimated delivery date! Since these sessions take place so soon after baby is born, and birthdays are unpredictable, I only take on a certain amount of newborn sessions per month. For outdoor sessions, I typically book out one month in advance during the summer/fall months, but always recommend booking as soon as possible! Outdoor session season is generally from May-October, and I am regularly reserving session dates in my calendar in February for the upcoming season. PLEASE reach out even if your desired session date is approaching soon, you just had your baby, or you're planning a last minute trip, as I may still have availability, and I would love to work with you if at all possible! Session dates are available Mondays-Saturdays.

I am located in the Bangor, Maine area and YES, I love to travel! Sessions include 1 hour of round-trip travel from 04401 (so within 30 minutes of Bangor), but I do travel farther than that, so contact me for a quote. I am on Mount Desert Island visiting Bar Harbor or Acadia National Park weekly for sessions in the summer months, and have a flat rate fee for the island, regardless of how far around the island or into the park we go!
Yes! A huge part of my job is to eliminate as much photo planning stress as possible! Once booked, I will help you decide where to do the photos, what to wear, and prepare you on what to expect. I photograph sessions at several different types of locations regularly, and we will figure out what type of setting will suit your vision the best together. I also offer a virtual styling tool to help you pick outfits! How it works: I'll send you a link to fill out a questionnaire, and then you'll be presented with different outfits or clothing items that coordinate. From there, you can pick your favorite options for each person participating in the photos, and the wardrobe pieces you pick will be linked to different shops online (think Old Navy, H&M, Target, etc.) so you can literally style your session from your couch. How cool is that?!
Yes! I am fully insured. Equipment as well as liability. I also take back up equipment with me to every session I shoot juuuuust in case.
Because that's when the best light is for my particular style of photography! Shooting at any other time of day (with the exception of sunrise... and let's be real, I am the opposite of a morning person so you wouldn't want to hang out with me then!) could result in bright sun in your eyes, harsh shadows, and not to mention, the mid-day heat in the summer is brutal! Many of my clients have young children whose bedtimes fall right around sunset or even earlier in the summer months, and I realize this is a challenge. I recommend either adjusting nap times the day before and day of your session to accommodate the later night for your kiddo(s), OR booking your session in the fall when sunset times are earlier. Trust me, the glowy sunset light is worth it!
Unfortunately, I am one of those unlucky people who is VERY allergic to animals. Yes, almost all of them. So I do not allow any furbabies in my studio... not only for the sake of my breathing, but for the sake of any other client who may be sensitive to animal dander! If your session is outside, you are more than welcome to bring your pup to your session for a few photos together at the end! Just don't take it personally when I won't be able to pet them. If you're simply looking for pet photography, I'm not your girl, but I know of some great local pet photographers and would be happy to send you their way!
I am not doing any in-hospital sessions at this time, but I plan to offer Hello Baby Sessions someday again in the future so reach out if you're interested... just in case the future is now. :)
I never put a cap on the amount of photos I deliver, but I guarantee at least 50 images for full hour outdoor Family and Maternity sessions, 65+ images for Extended Family sessions, and 30+ images for Newborn, Petite, and Studio sessions.
