babies don’t keep. every day they wake up a little bit older.

NORTHEAST OHIO NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

Most Mamas want to be in the moment.

but also WORRY ABOUT CAPTURING IT.

Home birth, hospital or birth center I think we can all agree those early days pass by in a blur! You’re healing from birth, getting to know a new tiny human who relies on you for everything and figuring out the changing roles in your family. One thing you won’t have to think about is remembering to grab the photos of their tiny toes, little button nose, long fingers and every combination of baby snuggles imaginable- you have me for that!

TELL ME MORE

Mama you deserve beautiful photos with your babies.

A lifestyle approach to newborns means we’re getting those real moments that capture the love in your family and life as it looks right now! All the parts of those early days you’ll want captured- whether it’s snuggled up in the nursery, an older sibling sharing their favorite book with new baby or a cuddle puddle in the living room. We’re following baby’s lead for posing and will take lots of breaks as needed for diapers changes, spit takes, feedings and snuggles all in the comfort of your space with your things you’ve been carefully curating for the last 9 months nearby.

We work together from the very beginning to make sure once baby is born we’ve eliminated as much brain power required for your session as possible- all you need to do is be in the moment, kiss that tiny nose, snuggle in with your family and gaze upon that sweet little person you made- easy right?

client Love

Brittney has captured our family, gender reveal, maternity newborn and I just scheduled our homestyle holiday -I love photos we get and how fun our session is! and I love that we have real smiles and us in our everyday activities even more! Brittney was ready to lead races, spin ribbons and blow bubbles! I’ve never seen a photographer PLAY with our kids and encourage real laughter; by the end of our session our shy girls were giving her hugs and asking if she was going to come to our house to play with dolls with them.

Brittney was so amazing with my 2 year old daughter. She’s typically super shy and doesn’t say much around people she doesn’t know and she got her out of her shell! The images turned out STUNNING! I highly recommend Brittney for all your family photography needs!

We had the best time! We laughed SO much and even though I was really nervous beforehand Brittney made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera and we had the best time laughing! She’s definitely our photographer for life!

Got Questions?

I do a mix of posed and guided candid poses. I will tell you exactly where to stand, look, and put your hands. I’ll even give you a few prompts to get some genuine connection. You can certainly send me some Pinterest inspiration but keep in mind I can’t recreate a pose exactly and I will put my own twist on it. You hired ME after all.

You can expect your proof gallery within 7 days and the final gallery about 2 weeks after you make your selections.

Of course it is! Confidence in front of the camera isn’t something that comes natural! Which is why we make sure you feel great before you ever arrive on location by working together to style your session so you’re thrilled with what everyone is wearing from your hair down to your toes! That outfit that makes you feel like a three year old in a superhero costume, that’s the winner!

On Location, we’ll be focused on movement and moments! So I’ll use prompts to help guide you into a moment that is also secretly a super flattering pose, I’ll move myself around and have you focused on your littles and your love. Your job is to have fun with your littles and because we’ve worked together in all the planning I know which kiddo is ready to lead the pack, which one needs extra help coming out of their shell and what song to break out to start a dance party full of lots of giggles.

Your home is your home. It’s where you welcome baby into your family, where your memories will be made and how you’ll remember these early days- thats what makes it so sentimental. If it’s lighting you’re worried about, I’m comfortable shooting in all lighting scenarios! We’ll find the right spot by a window for gorgeous natural light (augment if needed) and focus on those little details of this new family dynamic and the big love for your tiny humans. Your family and the love you have for each other are the focus of these images, not your home. (also, not even the homes on pinterest look like those photos😉)

We stay in good communication I block off three weeks before and after your due date to make sure I am available for your session, so If babe decides to come early or wants to take their sweet time choosing their birthday just let me know via text and when they are here we’ll get your session moved to the right date to capture all those little details of your brand new baby

Yes payment plans can be arranged! Everyone deserves beautiful photos with their babies (no matter how big they are now).

Let’s work together

I can’t wait to hear from you!

I am so excited to help you capture this chapter of your story! I am based out of Akron, OH but serve families all over Northeast Ohio.

Please fill out the details before so we can get started!

My husband said I had to wait for him before I could look at our photos, longest day ever. they’re perfect, I cried. totally worth the wait.
