"Welcoming our baby boy into the world was such a joy, and one that deserves to be remembered forever! Heather's studio is warm and inviting, to include a comfortable temperature for baby. The session was thoughtfully designed to capture baby's first few days. Heather's patient and baby-led approach made us feel right at ease."
"As first-time parents, we were a little overwhelmed and honestly running on very little sleep - but from the moment we walked into Heather's studio, we felt completely at ease. Heather was so patient and gentle with our baby girl, following her cues and never rushing the process. What stood out the most was how she made us feel. She saw us - not as new parents trying to figure it out but as a family just beginning."

"Time moves so quickly in those first few days with a newborn, and we’re so grateful to have these beautiful memories preserved forever. Vanessa's talent goes beyond photography—she has a true gift for capturing emotion and connection. She, thoughtfully prepared to keep our baby calm and content. We especially appreciated her gentle, baby-led approach, which made the entire session feel natural and stress-free. These photos will forever remind us of the love and wonder we felt in those earliest days."

"We had the best experience with Vanessa and our photos came out really good. She also was so good with our son who was also instantly smitten with Vanessa. Vanessa was also very responsive, recommended good locations and we got our photos on time. I would highly recommend Vanessa."

"We had such a wonderful experience taking our newborn photos with Vanessa! She put us instantly at ease and it was such a special, meaningful experience for us. The pictures were beautiful and her turnaround was so quick even though I know she's still very busy with wedding season! We can't wait to work with Vanessa more as our family grows!"

A: around weeks 13 to 27 of pregnancy—perfect timing to reach out so we can reserve a spot and prep for your newborn’s arrival. The actual session usually happens within the first two weeks after birth to catch those sweet sleepy moments.
A: Wrapped sessions are more posed and structured, where baby is swaddled tightly and positioned with precision—often using props and studio setups. In contrast, lifestyle sessions like mine are relaxed, natural, and focused on capturing real connections at home—cuddles, yawns, and little moments of love in your own space.
I specialize in lifestyle sessions because they celebrate the beauty of everyday life and raw emotion, and there's nothing more meaningful to me than photographing families just as they are—with warmth, movement, and authenticity that can’t be staged.
A: A hospital fresh 48 newborn session captures raw, candid moments within the first 48 hours after birth, usually in the hospital room with minimal posing. A home newborn session takes place within the first few weeks in the comfort of your home, focusing on relaxed, natural moments and family connections.
I offer BOTH Hospital Fresh48 and In-home Newborn Lifestyle
A: I'll deliver a guide on what to expect and how to prepare to ensure you're feeling confident and stress free.
A: I offer a few options for different colored swaddles and a bassinet, however, if you have any keepsakes or special items you would like to incorporate - feel free to have them ready for us.
A: You'll receive proofs within a week and a fully edited gallery within 2-3 weeks from then depending on the season. I always aim for faster.
I'm so excited to meet you and start the process of creating beautiful images for you!
