Newborn photography trusted by Tampa Moms since 2010
Creating beautiful, timeless, & safe portraits of your newborn baby is my passion. I have been trained by some of the most highly regarded newborn Photographers in the world, and I am a huge advocate and leader for newborn safety in the Tampa Bay Area.
I have many years of experience working with newborns and making sure that I practice safe posing. I have specialized as a newborn photographer since 2010. Many photographers travel from all over the world to be taught the art of newborn photography by me. Growing a community of sound, highly trained newborn photographers to keep babies all over the world safe, is my passion. When focusing on posed newborn portraits, it's important that the photographer you choose knows about keeping your baby safe during the session. I do work with an assistant to make sure your baby is always taken care of. She is there to make sure the baby is safe while getting those beautiful portraits that you have fallen in love with.
I typically like to have babies in within the first 14 days of life, however, I do often photograph babies up to 6 weeks. Newborn photography requires a lot of patience and I fully believe in letting your baby lead the way. If you're looking for a professional newborn photographer near you, we can definitely help!

When is it best to schedule my maternity photo shoot?We recommend the shoot takes place anywhere between 28-34 weeks of your pregnancy. When to book is a little different though. We recommend you secure your spot when you hit the second trimester. This will help make sure that your desired photographer has availability. Spots do fill up months in advance so it's best to prepare ahead of time.

Where are you locatedMy spacious photography studio is located in downtown Plant City, Fl. This may seem far away but it is about 20 minutes from Tampa. Lots of clients travel from out of state to have their maternity sessions done by me. If you need help finding accommodations, just let me know!
-
For outdoor sessions, where do you shoot?I have a long list of my favorite beaches and local parks for maternity photography sessions. Once booked, i'm happy to share those with you and pick the perfect one for your vision.

Is hair and makeup included?No, we do not include hair and makeup. We had a lot of Mamas who wanted to book their own hair and makeup artist so we have not continued on offering it. We do however work with two amazing hair and makeup artists that will come to our studio to make this experience unforgettable and stress free for you!

Do you provide the gowns and outfits?We have an extensive client closet that is available for all of our clients. We have gowns from size 0-26 and have an array of colors and styles to find the perfect fit for you!
The birth of a child marks a defining moment in your life.
From this day forward, everything changes.
You have a new reason for living.
You have a new reason to love.
And just weeks from now, your little one
will no longer fit so tiny in your arms.
They are only this little for just a moment in time.
These are your moments…
with a newborn portrait session, you can hold on to them forever.
I would be so honored to photograph and celebrate your newborn with you. Contact me so we can work together to create beautiful portraits and fine art that you can enjoy for years and years to come.
I always recommend having your newborn pictures when the baby is between 7-14 days old.
Although that time is ideal, I completely understand that emergencies arise, and it is not something that is required, but it is the perfect time for a baby to be sleepy which creates a better chance of getting those sleepy, curly poses that we all love.
If you are in the Tampa Bay area and are expecting, or have just had your baby, call me to chat about how I can help you capture these ever-so-fleeting moments!
Newborn sessions typically book up pretty quickly, so I always recommend inquiring if I have any last-minute spots. If I cannot accommodate your due date, I also know plenty of amazing newborn Photographers in the Tampa Bay Area that may be able to help!
