Preserving your baby's first, unforgettable moments.
Newborn
As a Williamsburg VA newborn photographer, I specialize in capturing your baby’s first year, from brand new to one year old, through heirloom albums designed to preserve every chapter along beautiful artwork to adorn your walls for years of enjoyment.
The time of family growth can feel like the busiest and most challenging season… they say the days are long but the years are short, and I know this is true from my own experience. I can’t stress the importance of documenting the shortest year of your life — your baby’s first year.
You will always pause to stare at your baby’s newborn portrait hanging on the wall. Nothing will bring you more joy than flipping through your heirloom-quality album filled with Williamsburg newborn photography that tells the full story of this season.
You will never tire of reminiscing about your baby’s wispy newborn hair, their chubby little thighs, or those round cheeks covered in frosting.
Documenting your babys first
incredible days.

“She is warm, professional and she takes her time to make sure everything is done safely not to mention she takes great pictures! I’m so happy I have my newborn pictures to cherish forever!”
WORD ON THE STREET
The first year changes quickly — and beautifully.
Many families continue documenting their baby’s story around six months and again at one year. These sessions capture growing personalities, emerging independence, and that unmistakable sparkle.
First Year COllection
Designed for families who want to document maternity, newborn, and milestone sessions as one unfolding story. The First Year Collection ensures each chapter is beautifully preserved.
Milestone Sessions
Those first days are fleeting in a way nothing else is...
The sleepy stretches.
The tiny fingers curled around yours.
The way they fit perfectly against your chest.
Newborn sessions are best scheduled during your second trimester to ensure availability. Whether in your home or my Williamsburg studio, these images preserve the smallest details... the ones that change before you even realize they’re gone.
My Williamsburg VA newborn photography sessions are designed to be calm, baby-led, and beautifully simple.
Newborn sessions are ideally photographed between 7–14 days old to capture those sleepy, curled-up details.

Maternity- up to 2 hours
Newborn- 2-3 hours
6 month- about 30-45 minutes
12 month/cake smash- about an hour
