Time is a thief! Days may feel like they drag, but years go by so fast!
The days with a newborn are a whirlwind—full of firsts, full of awe, full of love.
But as every parent knows, time has a way of speeding up when we wish it would slow down. Those tiny feet, the sleepy yawns, the way your baby fits perfectly in your arms—these moments are fleeting.
That’s where I come in.
I specialize in helping families turn these irreplaceable moments into lasting memories through beautiful, heartwarming photography. As an Atlanta-based newborn and maternity photographer, I don’t just take pictures; I create timeless keepsakes that will remind you of the way your baby looked, felt, and even smelled, long after these precious days have passed.
Thank you for considering me as your Atlanta newborn photographer. I'm thrilled at the opportunity to meet you and create stunning, everlasting photos that you and your family will cherish for generations.
You might be wondering—why hire a newborn photographer? Can’t you just take a few snapshots with your phone? The truth is, anyone can take a picture, but capturing the magic, innocence, and beauty of a newborn requires more than a camera—it takes experience, creativity, and an eye for details that may otherwise go unnoticed.
This is about telling your story. Your baby’s first days are a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and you deserve to hold onto them in a way that feels as special as they are. Every image I create is designed to evoke the warmth, love, and connection you felt the first time you held your child. My job is to make sure those emotions are preserved forever in a photograph that will live on for generations.
Life as a new parent can be overwhelming—trust me, I get it. That’s why I’ve designed my entire process to be effortless for you. From the moment we connect, I take care of everything. Your newborn photography session, at our studios in Atlanta, is designed to be stress-free and enjoyable. I provide all the outfits, props and backgrounds that will perfectly frame your baby’s unique beauty. I work with a gentle touch, ensuring that both you and your newborn are comfortable throughout the session.
