Newborn

Tiny toes, squishy cheeks, and those sleepy snuggles you’ll want to remember forever. Newborn sessions are cozy, baby-led, and full of timeless simplicity—whether at home or in the studio.

Tiny toes, squishy cheeks, and love that fills the room.


There’s nothing quite like those first few weeks — and capturing them is one of my greatest joys. I specialize in natural, baby-led newborn photography in Edwardsville, Glen Carbon, Troy, and the surrounding Metro East Illinois area, offering cozy, connection-filled sessions that highlight the beauty of this new beginning.


Whether we’re in my warm, inviting studio or the comfort of your home, every newborn session is slow-paced, gentle, and completely centered around your baby’s needs. From perfectly swaddled portraits to tender family moments, we’ll create a gallery that preserves this season with heart and simplicity.
