Capturing life’s most cherished moments in a way that honors your legacy
Welcome! If you’re looking for a newborn photographer in Central Texas who offers excellent customer service you found her! A Southern California transplant to the Waco TX area. I’m excited for a new adventure and getting to know Texas!
My goal as your photographer is to make everything about your session easy! From booking to delivery of your gorgeous images.
I offer beautiful gowns for my maternity clients and new mamas. Custom newborn photo sessions, and creative cake smash photo shoots for your sweet little ones!
My photo sessions do not have a time limit although most sessions are 45 minutes to an hour. Newborn photo sessions last about three hours. Each photo session is custom and the outcome is much more important than the amount of time
You deserve to have images that capture the joy and love of your family on your most precious days.
Celebrating your little one’s first milestones
I want you to remember the sweet precious moments that

Portrait Session FAQ’S
When should I book my Newborn Session?
Newborn sessions are usually done between 7 and 21 days. However, I believe everyone deserves beautiful photos of their tiny new baby! I happily take newborns up to 6 weeks for “Newborn” sessions.
I recommend you book as soon as possible to reserve a spot on my calendar. Your second trimester is usually best for Newborn and Maternity Sessions. Always check in because I do leave room for last-minute bookings!
For Cake Smash sessions, I recommend 3-6 weeks before you need the photos back.
How does the client closet work?
I have an extensive client closet for Mamas, babies, and a few toddler pieces. I would love to help style your session using what we can from my client closet!
For Maternity sessions, you would need to schedule a time before your session to come try on and choose your wardrobe. I help you choose the best color and style for you and your location.
For Newborn and Motherhood sessions you can choose your wardrobe and accessories during your session
