As a maternity/baby’s first photographer, I have the incredible privilege of witnessing and capturing some of life's most precious moments—the milestones of a baby's first year. It's a journey filled with wonder, growth, and countless memories waiting to be cherished. I want to highlight the importance of documenting these milestones through professional photography and why it's a decision you won't regret.

When it comes to choosing a hospital to give birth and you live in or around Houston, Texas the options can be overwhelming! We are so fortunate to have so many choices so use that to your advantage.

I hope you’ve had an opportunity to read my blog post on what to wear for your in home newborn session but now you may be wondering are there any “no-no’s” that you should know about. Following my blog post will guide you in the right direction but here are some things to look out for!

Family portraits with newborns are somewhat of a new trend. When I began photographing newborns almost 15 years ago, moms were not as interested in being photographed after giving birth. Photographers have found ways of photographing postpartum moms in a very flattering, soft way that allows moms to feel beautiful and empowered during this time.

Here are my top tips on how to prepare yourself for a newborn session:

One of my favorite things to see at a newborn session is two, brand-new grandmas with their new titles, doting on their first grandbaby! Watching moms witness their own babies become parents is something magical. They are supportive, yet give space, offer advice when prompted, and step aside when not needed. It’s a beautiful dance of everyone metamorphosing into new roles! So, naturally, I had the grandmas jump in for pictures with their babies holding their new baby! Imagine, one of the first portraits of your new baby and their grandma is professional and frame-worthy! Three-generation photos are some of my favorite images to capture!

Birth Stories, everyone has one and each are as unique as they are exciting to hear. It’s one of my favorite parts of the session. Getting to know parents who have just welcomed a little one into the world, in some very vulnerable moments, in an intimate setting of their home is something that I treasure.
