A calming presence.
A creative eye. A heart for legacy.

I’m Em, and I specialize in photographing newborns in a way that brings peace to parents, beauty to the ordinary, and meaning to the moments you never want to forget.

I’ve heard it so many times:
“We were nervous about how the session would go...”
“But you made it feel so easy.”
That’s not an accident. It’s the result of years spent learning how to show up—not just as a photographer, but as someone who knows how tender this season is.

Whether it’s your first baby or your fourth, I know how much pressure new parents carry.
My role is to help lift some of that weight—so you can exhale, be present, and remember what these days felt like, not just what they looked like.

Newborn photography is more than a service.
It’s a small act of worship for me—preserving the beauty God has placed in your family and creating space for you to rest, remember, and receive.

my Purpose

Creative imagery with soul. I don’t chase trends. I craft timeless photographs that will still hold meaning 20 years from now.

my Style

Professionalism with a personal touch. You’ll feel taken care of—from our first email to the final gallery.

my method

wedding-photographer-turned-newborn-artist, cat mom, and loyal lover of all things orange.

After years of documenting love stories, something shifted in me—I began to see the quiet beauty in beginnings. The kind that doesn't wear a white dress or dance the night away... but curls up tiny in a swaddle and changes everything with a sigh.

That’s when I fell in love with newborn photography.

I’ve spent countless hours (and more than a few courses) learning safe baby handling, swaddling techniques, and how to create a relaxed, refined studio experience that feels more like a sigh of relief than another item on your to-do list.

Whether you're running on newborn snuggles or no sleep at all, I meet you where you are—with calm, care, and creativity. You don’t need to have it all together. I’ll guide you every step of the way.
