MATERNITY

Maternity

Pregnancy is beautiful and over before you know it. Let's make sure you remember it. Maternity sessions are best captured between 28 and 36 weeks, when your bump is at its most beautiful and you're still feeling comfortable.

NEWBORN

Newborn

The tiniest toes, the softest cheeks, the sleepiest little sighs. Newborn sessions are best captured between 5 to 14 days old, when baby is at their most settled and sleepy. Every session is led by baby's needs. There's no rush here.

A note on timing: newborn dates are approximate at booking. If you have a planned c-section or induction date, choose a date around 5 to 10 days after that. Otherwise, pick a date roughly one week after your due date. Once baby arrives, let Shelby know and she will firm up a more solid session date with you.

Childhood

They grow so fast it's almost unfair. Portrait sessions for children of all ages, siblings included. Whether it's a one year old taking their first wobbly steps or a seven year old with a personality that fills the room, you'll be glad you captured them exactly like this.

FAMILY

Family

Because some moments are too good to forget. Family sessions are for the chaos, the laughter, and the in-between moments you'll want to look back on one day. No two families look the same. Let's capture yours.
