Gentle. Honest. God-soaked storytelling for your baby’s first days.

These are your moments

Welcome, Mama
If you’ve just welcomed your baby—or are about to—you’re in the right place.

I know how tender this season can be.
You’re tired, healing, learning your baby hour by hour.
Your body aches, your heart is stretching, and somehow time already feels slippery.

But even in the blur, there is beauty.
There are holy, hidden moments you’ll want to remember:
A tiny hand curled around your finger.
The way they melt into your chest.
The quiet prayers whispered in the middle of the night.

As a Kansas City newborn photographer and filmmaker, I’m not here to ask you to perform.
I’m here to help you slow down, breathe in the goodness, and see the sacredness of what God is doing in your family right now.

You don’t need a perfect nursery or a full night’s sleep.
You just need to show up—with your baby, your love, and your story.

I’ll take care of the rest.

Let's Tell the Story You'll Want to Remember

Those first days at home blur by in a haze of wonder, weariness, and newness. You’re learning your baby, your rhythm, your breath again. And in the midst of all that—there’s beauty. Sacred, fleeting, once-in-a-lifetime beauty.

As a Kansas City newborn photographer and filmmaker, I’m here to help you remember it. Not with props or poses, but with slow, quiet storytelling. The way your baby curls into you. The way your home holds this season. The way love settles in.

This isn’t just about a newborn—it’s about the birth of a family.
The first time your hands carry a life that used to live inside you.
The quiet spaces where you’re growing into your new name: Mama.

You won’t remember every feed or every cry.
But you’ll want to remember how they fit perfectly on your chest.
The milk-drunk sleep. The tiny lashes. The way your partner looks at both of you like you hung the moon.

These are holy moments, and they pass quickly.
A newborn session isn’t about perfect—it’s about presence.
It’s about remembering what God began here, in this room, with this child.

The Experience

Newborn sessions are slow and baby-led. No rushing. No forcing. Just space to be.

In-home Kansas City newborn sessions allow you to stay cozy, rest, and focus on your baby. I’ll document the early connection, the stillness, the everyday holiness of this sacred season.

Here’s what to expect:

Before your session
We’ll choose a morning that feels good in your postpartum window. I’ll send a prep guide, walk you through what to expect, and help you feel ready (even if you’re still in pajamas and figuring it all out).

During your session
I’ll follow the light and your family’s natural rhythm—feeding, soothing, diaper changes, snuggles. I won’t pose your baby unnaturally. I’ll gently capture what’s already there.

After your session
You’ll receive your full gallery of images (and optional newborn film) within 4-6 weeks. These will be the images that remind you of how sacred the beginning really was.

If this feels like home to your heart, I’d be honored to document it 

My Approach

Presence over perfection. Legacy over likes. Grace over hustle.

My documentary-style newborn photography and films are quiet, reverent, and rooted in faith. I’m not here to pose your baby into someone else’s version of cute. I’m here to document the truth of this season—with all its softness, sanctity, and wonder.

This approach honors:

Your natural postpartum rhythm (feedings, rests, cuddles included)
The atmosphere of your home and your unique bond
The divine fingerprints all over this new life

What you’re living right now is holy ground. I just get the honor of showing it to you.

Thinking Ahead?

Let’s preserve the beginning—before it slips quietly into memory. They are threads in a story only you can live — and one day, only your children can hold.

Most families who book newborn sessions also want their story told from the very beginning... of the story God is writing through your family — and that story often begins at birth. I specialize in documenting the fullness of your motherhood journey — with birth at the center, and everything else flowing from that sacred beginning. The stretch, the surrender, the sacred in-between.
 If you’re still expecting, consider The Milestone Collection—my full-service birth-to-baby offering that begins with maternity, includes full birth documentation, and carries through those tender newborn days and beyond.

If this feels like the kind of story you want to remember, let’s start a conversation.
