PARENTHOOD
It's almost that time. That instant when everything changes, and you're no longer just an ordinary run-of-the-mill person, but a parent. A mother, a father.
Like so many watershed moments in our lives, it's easy to be swept up in the details, the planning, the emotional weight of it all and eventually forget what it was like in those seconds before the world turned upside down. What did I first think being a mother meant? What kind of father will I be to my son? How will I ever learn what it means to be good to my child and lead them forward when I know so little?
Here's where I aim to help. I can't collect all your thoughts in a bottle, but I can capture images of what you were feeling in the last weeks of your pregnancy. I can catalogue those first moments after birth when the wonder of it all has brought you to tears. I can capture the smallest details in the smallest hands and feet as your little one takes in the light and glory of the world as they never have before. I offer a variety of services to those of us in the anticipatory stage of our parenthood, who are still figuring out what that means and hoping for all the world to bloom when our babies first open their eyes. Together we can retell the very first chapter of their story.
PRICING AND PACKAGES
Maternity Sessions
2-Hour Sessions Begin at $300*
So, I have a confession.
I'm not a woman and I've never been pregnant. But I have watched with rapt amazement as my wife progressed through the various stages of pregnancy and childbirth. I can only say that I am seriously impressed with the grit and the tenacity of women as they prepare to be mothers. There is so much beauty to be found in the bond that you are building between you and your child. This little one is truly "flesh of your flesh," and you are united together in the years ahead.
In my years photographing maternity, I'm aimed to compliment the wonder you already feel in the images I capture of these final moments before the baby arrives. My hope is that you feel comfortable and confident in your maternity session and we will leave lots of room for you to make the time your own and celebrate what you are accomplishing.
Newborn Sessions
2-Hour Sessions Begin at $300*
As a father to a bright and wonderful son of my own, I remember with particular joy and elation the first days I spent laying eyes on him. I remember the uncertainty of what came next coupled with the absolute surety that I would do anything to secure a future and a hope for this little boy. I am so grateful for the images we have of him before his smile began to change, and the hair began to grow wild, and he ceased being the quiet ball of wonder and became the rambunctious little monster he is today at two years old. But as they say, "to each season belongs its beauty."
My primary goal with newborn sessions is to highlight all the tiny details of your child's smirks, blinks, stretches, and coo's. They are learning so much for the very first time, and just like you, I don't want to miss a second of it. My style of photography tends to be more journalistic, so you can expect images of you and the little one; not just portraits of their adorable face, but of you interacting with your child. I want to help you remember not only how they looked, but hopefully how it felt to hold them when they still fit in your arms.
