It’s about feeling seen. Held. Taken care of.
You’re doing a million things right now — growing a baby, raising littles, keeping life afloat. This isn’t another thing on your list.


This is your moment to breathe. To preserve this chapter. To finally feel supported while doing something for you.

All The Props…

Styled With Love — and All the Little Details You Didn’t Even Know You Needed

You don’t need to bring a single thing — I’ve got everything ready for your baby’s close-up. Every session includes access to my curated prop collection, thoughtfully selected to create timeless, heartwarming images.

Here’s what’s waiting for you in the studio:

  • Soft, stretchy wraps in calming, neutral tones

  • A beautiful collection of handmade headbands, bonnets, and hats

  • Textured blankets, baskets, and layering pieces for cozy setups

  • A variety of backdrops and props designed to highlight your baby — never distract from them

Whether you love warm earthy tones or classic soft whites, I’ll style your session to match your vision — or simply take the reins if you’re too tired to think (I get it, mama).

The Client Closet

Because you deserve to feel beautiful, without the stress of figuring it all out

I see you, mama — juggling it all, giving your best, and maybe not feeling quite like yourself lately. The last thing you should have to worry about is what everyone will wear for photos.

That’s why I’ve curated a full client closet to take the guesswork out of styling.
Inside, you’ll find:

  • Elegant maternity gowns in flattering silhouettes

  • Adorable newborn wraps, bonnets, and bows

  • Soft, timeless sitter outfits for milestone sessions

  • Accessories, textures, and layering pieces that photograph beautifully

Every item has been hand-selected to help you and your little ones feel at ease, look amazing, and let the focus stay where it matters; on the love between you.

You’re always welcome to bring your own pieces, but know that every booked client gets exclusive access to the full wardrobe and I’ll be here to help style you with care and intention.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.
You already show up with love, I’ll take care of the rest.

BOOK MY SESSION

All Your Qs

  • To ensure availability, I recommend booking your newborn photography session during your second trimester. We'll schedule your session based on your due date, and once baby arrives, we’ll finalize the actual session day (ideally between 7–21 days old).

    Limited newborn slots are available each month to give every family a relaxed, unrushed experience.

  • Not at all! I provide everything you need — including soft newborn wraps, handmade headbands, cozy bonnets, timeless props, and beautiful backdrops.

    My Gulf Coast photography studio in D’Iberville is fully stocked and baby-ready. Just bring your little one and enjoy the moment.

  • You’ll have full access to my client wardrobe, which includes flattering maternity gowns, sitter outfits, and baby clothing that photographs beautifully. Whether you're doing a maternity photoshoot in Ocean Springs or family portraits in-studio, I’m here to help you style everything with ease.

  • Yes! While most families choose my cozy studio in D’Iberville, Mississippi, I also offer in-home lifestyle newborn photography sessions along the Mississippi Gulf Coast for those who want to stay in their own space. Travel fees may apply depending on your location.

  • My private, temperature-controlled studio is located in D’Iberville, MS, just minutes from Gulfport, Ocean Springs, and Biloxi. It’s designed to be a soft, quiet place for mamas and babies — complete with a lounge, refreshments, and a fully stocked changing area.

  • Newborn sessions typically last between 2–3 hours to allow plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and snuggling. Everything is baby-led and unhurried — your comfort and your baby’s safety are always the priority.

  • Absolutely. I love documenting the full family connection — especially during maternity sessions and newborn photoshoots. We’ll plan ahead to include siblings in a calm, fun way, and partners are always welcome in the frame.

  • I offer milestone sessions at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months — as well as cake smash photography for your baby’s first birthday. These are short, sweet, and baby-led, with all props and outfits provided. Perfect for families in Ocean Springs, D’Iberville, and the surrounding Mississippi Gulf Coast.

  • Just head to my Contact Page fill out the inquiry form. I’ll reach out personally to walk you through everything and secure your spot on the calendar.


    I only take a limited number of sessions each month to ensure every family gets a personalized, high-touch experience.

  • Yes! I believe every mama deserves to have these moments captured. Flexible payment plans are available upon request for all newborn, maternity, and milestone photography packages.
