MY PHOTOGRAPHY PHILOSOPHY

You and your baby take the lead. I’ll take the photos.

Taking photos that make you (and your baby) uncomfortable? Not here. We’ll bring in all the things your little ones love and help them relax with cozy swaddles, white noise, and of course, snuggly moments in your arms.

We pause for feedings (because no one wants a hangry baby). We play around, have dance parties, and sing at the top of our lungs. Because your family isn’t stiff, uncomfortable, or totally not-fun, so why take photos like that?

BEHIND THE CAMERA

I'm Rachael, and this might sound weird, but…

I didn’t hire a newborn photographer for either of my babies. And I wish I did.

Okay listen, I wanted to hire a newborn photographer. After having each of our babies, I spent so much time researching photographers with my husband, but we couldn’t find anything that felt like us. We knew we wanted timeless photos that didn’t include our babies sleeping in baskets or wrapped in cloth.

No matter where we looked, it felt like there were so many rules– not to mention SO much prep! I just had a baby, and yet I was supposed to pull together outfits, style my hair, do my makeup? Worst of all, I couldn’t book photos if my baby was even one day over 2 weeks old. There was no way any of that was happening while I healed from my c-section. I started to wonder if they’d ever met a baby (or a postpartum mom) in their life!

I knew then that I needed to create a photography experience for moms so they didn’t have to go through the same thing. Moms, you deserve to have a newborn photo experience that documents every memory and makes you feel as beautiful as the photos we’ll take! 

Although my own postpartum experience was hard, I absolutely love being a bright spot in yours.
