Willow
Willow was absolutely perfect! She slept like a dream and posed super pretty for all her pictures. After doing her maternity pictures, I had the best time catching up with mom and dad about how everything went with her arrival! Mom borrowed from my studio closet for her outfit.

Micah
Micah was such a chill little baby! He came in at a little over a week old and was such a dream to photograph! I love how babies look on cream - so classic. Plus those awake pictures were just too adorable!

Marleigh was such a beautiful little girl! I had gotten to know her mom and dad at their maternity session so we had such a great time hearing all about how she came into the world! She absolutely rocked her first photoshoot!

The Newborn Experience
Studio sessions take all the pressure off of you. All you need to do is show up with your baby and I will take care of the rest! All props, outfits, and accessories are provided by me. My minimalist, classic style focuses on all the details of your new little family member.
From the moment your child is born, you don't want to forget a thing. Their expressions, how tiny they were, flakey skin, baby fuzz... I love it. I have been there with my own four children. I've been called a baby whisperer more than once. I create a peaceful, soothing environment that allows your baby and you to relax while I capture how perfect they are!
They're only this tiny for a second - treat yourself to priceless images
You've now seen my work and would like to chat about a session for your Portland area baby! Yay! Reach out from the contact page and get more information on newborn sessions with me. I will get to know your family and your unique preferences and make sure we are a perfect fit. Be sure to book during pregnancy to ensure a spot on my calendar as I take a limited amount of newborns each month. You can be sure that your baby is in good hands with me. I have mentorships, trainings, and safety classes under my belt. I am fully vaccinated, and wear a mask for all newborn sessions as well as hand sanitize often.
1. Say Hello
2. let's make it official
We are an awesome fit and you're ready to get on my calendar - let's make it all official! I will send you over the agreement and invoice for your $300 session fee. I will get you all booked in with my favorite hair and makeup artist as well. I want you to get exactly what you want so you will choose your images or prints later. I will get to know exactly what you want from our time together Is this your first or will there be sibling pictures? Do you have a favorite color you want incorporated? Let's get it all figured out so your photos represent exactly what you want to remember about your precious new baby.
3. ask me Anything
I will work with you to pick outfits from my client closet for you and any siblings, or point you in the direction of some wonderful boutiques online that I know photograph well. I will provide everything for your newborn - hats/headbands, wraps, and outfits. I will walk you through how to prepare your baby for their session to ensure the most sleepy sweetness. You will have me to help with everything! And now we just wait for your little one to make his or her arrival! Once they have been born, you will let me know and we will set a date for when they are 7-14 days old. This allows you time to get feedings established, and ensures they are still super new, sleepy and fresh.
4. the big day
We have picked a day, and on the morning of you will get your baby all ready for their session, then drive on over to the studio. I am conveniently located on the westside of Portland, right off highway 26. You will get your hair and makeup done by my professional artist while I take some pictures of just baby. Your baby is in charge, so anytime they need to eat, be changed, etc., we will be on baby time. Once you are all done and looking gorgeous we will do family pictures! Sessions usually take between an hour and a half and two hours to allow plenty of time. I will photograph your baby in several different backdrops, a basket or bucket, and with family.
5. your photographs
Within a week, you will receive an email with your online gallery reveal. You will pick your favorites, then I will get to work on editing them to perfection! Your final images will be done within a week, and you can place your order for which archival quality heirloom prints and wall art that will ship directly to you. No need to come back into the studio to do that. It's all in your online gallery. Let's get those adorable pictures into your hands, not just on your hard drive! The last step is just to enjoy your portraits for years to come and watch that little baby grow up!

I have spent years perfecting my craft with mentorships and newborn safety classes. I am fully up to date on all immunizations, and continue to mask for sessions. Your little one will be in the best hands for creating these precious memories!

"Phenomenal photography skills and highly specialized in working with infants. Ann surpassed my expectations as both an exceptional photographer and her ability to work with infants. She gave me astute tips to get my new born in the best condition for the shoot - and she showed up with an arsenal of tools to keep him in good shape for a few a hours, clearly directing along the way. She captured the best moments of him glowing and delivered stunning artwork. We hired Ann for the infant shoot and decided to do some maternity shots while we were at it. She nailed both with great success . I felt like a beautiful goddess in my shoot and my photos are a shinning new family treasure . As a professional, Ann was highly responsive and delivered as promised on timelines and details. I cannot say enough good things about my experience and will absolutely hire Anne again in the future."

"Ann was amazing to work with! We are in love with our newborn photos. She was very professional, quick with communication and delivering the final photos! Highly recommend her for your next family photo shoot!"

"Ann was absolutely wonderful! She came to my house, which as any new mom knows - leaving your house is sometimes a deal breaker (for anything!) She was so careful and great with my baby. I could immediately tell she was so comfortable with newborns and my daughter was comfortable with her. While she changed outfits and poses on my daughter, I got ready in the bathroom (and did some laundry too ;)) We did the photos with me and my daughter last. She got the proofs to me the next day! I am so in love with all of the photos!"

“I had a fantastic experience with Ann! We used her for our newborn photography session. She is great with communication and very helpful when discussing expectations and how to prepare a baby for a photoshoot. She took the photos in our home, which allowed for a few lifestyle family shots. All of the images are frame-worthy and I look forward to hiring her again for more family photos.” -Christi

"I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Ann. She made the whole experience of my newborn's photos easy, fun, and low stress (which this very tired new mom really appreciates!). It was wonderful that she was able to come to our home and the photos are just adorable. We will cherish these sweet prints forever."
