proof of mom
juneau, alaska photographer documenting honest motherhood
This is your sign to just take the photos. From your growing bump to the fresh baby snuggles, this season is fleeting. The days will go slowly; the years will go quickly but your photos will last forever. Cheesy but true (ask me how I know).
maternity
starting at $275
Maternity sessions are designed to feel relaxed, often centered around a favorite place or activity that feels like meaningful to you. Time is intentionally carved out for all of you to slow down, connect and enjoy being together before your family grows.
Playful prompts and light guidance encourage natural movement and real interaction throughout because photos should be fun!
30 minute and 60 minute session options
30 minute sessions are limited to specific locations
fresh 48
$450
Turning those fuzzy, often chaotic, days after birth into a memory you can hold in your hands.
Fresh 48 sessions focus on baby and the reality of life in those fleeting moments. These sessions are hands-off, documentary-ish sessions with very little input from me done at your birthing location with 48 hours of birth.
No time limit
Average fresh 48 session is ~90 minutes
newborn
$450
Designed to unfold slowly with a relaxed pace and baby-led timing. Low-stress, documentary approach with gentle guidance and simple prompts to encourage natural interactions.
Homes are not expected to be perfect or spotless because that's not reality. I want to meet the dog, see all of this morning's coffee cups, and help you remember the beauty of these early days.
No time limit
Average newborn session is ~60 minutes
come as you are; you don’t have to hold it together here.

question…?
how do i book a newborn/fresh 48 session without a date?
First: there’s nothing to stress about! Your retainer fee holds your due date range. We’ll get you booked without a date chosen and as soon as baby arrives (or as soon as you’re ready if we’re doing newborn photos) you can text/email/call and we’ll pick the perfect date for your session.
what do we wear?
Short answer: whatever feels like you. This is me begging you to not dress up if that's not your thing. Photos that feel good look good so be comfortable and dress for the location and weather (even if that means Xtra Tuffs!)
After booking, you will receive a style guide with tips and tricks for coordinating colors and choosing patterns if you want help.
how long does it take to get our photos back?
For lifestyle sessions (engagement, maternity, newborn/fresh 48, family) my current turn around time is 1 week or less.
do you offer prints?
I sure do! I am partnered with Freedom Print Lab, a professional grade, color calibrated print lab out of Canada. Freedom Print Lab is known for their high quality, quick turnaround and affordable pricing. You can order right from your gallery!
what does “no time limit” for newborn/fresh 48 sessions mean?
It means we go by what feels right for you. Newborn and Fresh 48 sessions are meant to be slow, paced to what baby allows. Sometimes a mid-session feeding and diaper change is necessary. Sometimes baby (or parents) just need a minute. I do generally try to be out of your way within ~2 hours because there is a balance between going with the rhythm and dragging things out.
do you offer mini sessions?
I offer 30 minute sessions for maternity only.
