It was so fun including the whole family in this maternity session. Why not? Come to think of it, I can’t really think of any maternity sessions that I’ve seen that DO include the whole family, and I can’t think of one reason not to make this the normal.

I really love a newborn photography session that takes place in the comfort of home. Maybe it’s just me, but getting out of the house with my newborns felt like a daunting herculean effort. Hiring a photographer to come to me and take photos of us in our own environment felt like a no-brainer. This session, and this session are more proof of that.

Life’s most precious moments often happen in the in-between: the giggles, the snuggles, the silly chaos of everyday family life. As a South Bend photographer, I specialize in capturing the beauty of your “right now,” so you can treasure it forever.

A special kind of magic happens when you have a real moment mixed with sweetness captured on film.

Like many of you, I place a high value on sentimentality, but also on realism. A little tantrum here, a “blooper” there… adding just a drop or two of reality into your film grounds it and takes away the lie that “my family isn’t perfect so I can participate in a session like this”.
