There’s nothing quite like watching two people become parents for the first time. From that final stretch of maternity to the tender first days in the hospital, and then those sweet, quiet moments at home — this session tells the full story of baby Parker Jean’s arrival.
Mama holding baby Parker Jean during their first days at home. This cozy nursery was styled with earth tones and so much love.
Cradling her daughter by the window, this new mama glowed in the soft morning light — calm, connected, and completely in love.
We began documenting this family’s journey with a maternity session, where mama glowed with joyful anticipation. Then just days after Parker entered the world, I joined them at the hospital for a Fresh 48 session — one of my favorite ways to capture the raw, unfiltered magic of those brand-new hours.
And finally, I visited their home for a cozy, lifestyle newborn session. The golden light, the soft knits, the way dad looked at his daughter and mom held her so close... It was peaceful and slow and filled with wonder. Their sweet dog even made a little cameo — already adjusting to big sibling life!

These sessions are about so much more than just images. They’re about connection, legacy, and honoring the sacred season of new beginnings.

If you’re preparing to welcome your first baby — or your fifth — I would love to help you tell your story from bump to baby. From maternity portraits to Fresh 48 and lifestyle newborn sessions, I walk with you through every step, so you’ll never forget how this love began.

A quiet moment, just mom and dad watching over their little girl. The beginning of everything.
