National Association of Professional Child Photographers Certified Master Photographer - Maternity & Newborn
When I had my first baby 10 years ago I knew immediately that I didn't want him dressed up in any crazy costumes or surrounded by cheesy props for his newborn photos.
I wanted something more casual, at our home, that focused on our new little family including our 2 dogs! I wanted real moments just without the yoga pants and spit-up covered shirts :).
That is why I offer in home lifestyle newborn photography for new parents in South Florida. I want to capture those early days for you that feel like such a blur.
Then let's create beautiful artwork from your photos that you can look back on and always remember how tiny your little baby once was!
