Placing a value on the fleeting beauty of your precious memories is never simple. From the soft, rhythmic kicks of your baby nestled within, to the gentle slumber of your newborn, and finally to the joyful, toddling steps of your one-year-old discovering the world—each moment we capture becomes an irreplaceable treasure. These memories, once created, will live forever in your heart, for they can never be recreated, only cherished.
I am deeply honored to be part of documenting your baby’s first year. As a mother of two, I know that nothing is more precious than the memory of those early, fleeting moments with your little one—and it is this sacred joy that fuels my heart. Capturing these memories for other mothers is not just my work, it is my greatest passion, a gift I hold close to my soul.

After photographing hundreds of portrait sessions over the past few years, I treasure the moments that I get to connect with families who also want to freeze time for a moment.
We’ll get to know one another and find out your vision for the session. We will talk about the small details you don't want to forget- like the way they lay on your chest and fall straight to sleep, or how much they love their favorite lovey.

Once your date is secured, we can begin to discuss my favorite part—setting the scene and curating your wardrobe.
Through our conversation, I’ll get to know you better, allowing me to suggest gowns from my collection of over 100 exquisite pieces that will perfectly align with the vision we create together. From there, choosing a location from my carefully selected list of enchanting spots will be seamless.
I am also happy to book Hair & Makeup at this point.

Our expectations were not only met, but surpassed. I felt so comfortable and beautiful during the entire photoshoot. I am hard to please, and I know this about myself. Deborah was so easy to work with and gave me many recommendations and a lot of guidance before the photo shoot in terms of clothing, makeup, hair, etc. We look forward to having her take our pictures again in the future.
Don't wait another minute!

Yes, you are welcome to print the images on your own. If you do this, we recommend making sure that the printer does not color correct the images (many automatically do this.) We also recommend looking for a high quality printer. While 10 cent prints sound great in theory, the cheaper printing quality often won’t do your images justice. Paper quality, color correction and a handful of other factors play a big role in the way your prints turn out. This is one of the reasons why we LOVE offering prints to our clients.

While we don’t guarantee an exact number of images, we will make sure we capture your family thoroughly. Most families should expect to receive at least 35 edited images following their session.

We guarantee that your images will remain in an online gallery for at least 90 days. While your galleries may stay up longer than that, we cannot guarantee it. Once your galleries have been delivered, we highly recommend downloading all high resolution images to several devices. Consider investing in a portable, waterproof external hard drive.

You are absolutely welcome to share images on social media. To ensure that our work is properly represented, we ask that you refrain from any edits. We also appreciate image credits and tags as they help us to continue to grow as a business.

By default, the creators of images always own the rights to the images. However we’ll give you a release to use, print and share your images. The only thing you won’t be able to do is sell your image as a stock photo. We won’t do this either without your written permission.

We do light retouching on all of our images. This means that if there are any glaring objects that should be removed (such as a bump from the tumble your toddler took that morning,) we’ll remove it. Larger edits (such as removing tan lines,) require more time and would require us to add additional editing hours to your collection.
