Snuggling a newborn is one of life's sweetest joys, and as a newborn videographer and photographer, I get to capture those fleeting moments in a way that lasts a lifetime. In this post, I'll share my top tips for preparing for a newborn session—whether it’s photos or a video, these tips will help you create a meaningful and memorable experience for your family. Let’s make these first moments as special as they are!

A crisp fall afternoon in the apple orchard became the perfect setting for a family film and photo session filled with giggles, wagon rides, and memories worth preserving.

Family pictures with older kids are just as important as when they were younger, but life gets busy, and we often forget to make time for them. A recent family session I had with the DeCicco Family’s best friends reminded me that capturing those moments is priceless — and worth every minute!

When Allie and Ian reached out for family photos at Notre Dame University, I couldn’t have been more excited. From their engagement session years ago to their growing family, capturing these special moments in their favorite place was absolutely perfect!

This beautiful, photogenic bunch had the same dream. Several of these grown kiddos live out of state, now, so Nana and Papa rented a place up in Union Pier (oh, Pure Michigan, I love you so), to spend the whole week together. Nana told me as soon as we started the walk to the beach, “I am so glad we did this!” You will NOT regret taking the time out of your trip to capture the right-now details of your family. Promise.
