Maternity, Newborn, & Milestone
These moments won't last forever. Let's capture them beautifully!
Hey there! I'm Nicole, an Phoenix, Arizona newborn and maternity photographer.
pregnancy and babies aren't forever. you deserve this time to be beautifully documented.
Being a mom myself, I remember those long months of pregnancy and sleepless days and nights with a newborn. It all kind of becomes a big blur. That’s why I love maternity and newborn photography! I have the privilege of capturing you at a time in your life that is so precious and short. It is also a beautiful time, despite all the adjustments and potential chaos. I want you to have beautiful images that you can look back on as your baby grows and changes.
I specialize in working with expecting moms and newborns and have plenty of experience doing so. Sessions with me have a light and positive atmosphere, and we will take the time needed to capture you and your baby. Sessions can take place in your home or at my studio in Downtown Mesa. When you book with me, I’ll provide you a newborn session guide so you know what to wear, prepare and expect. Once we start our session, I will guide you the whole time and come prepared with swaddles, headbands, hats, and props for baby.
I walk away from my maternity and newborn sessions often feeling like I’ve just made new lifelong friendships and I can’t wait to feel the same way after working with you!
My COMMITMENTs to yOU
1. Fast Turn Around
I know you are excited to see how your photos turned out and so am I! You will receive a full gallery of your images within 2-3 weeks of our session.
2. Natural, Relaxed Posing and a PATIENT photographer
You’re not the only one who may feel uncomfortable in front of the camera and that’s why I’ll come prepared to help best pose you…you’ll notice those butterflies disappearing within minutes! I also know how stressful it can be to do family photos. I can assure you I am up for the task and will approach every situation with a fun attitude and LOTS of patience.
3. Beautifully Edited Images
During my editing process I will carefully look over all of your images and pay close attention to skin tones, details, and more. Your photos will come out looking consistently beautiful.
For newborn sessions, I will carefully edit out any redness, skin flakes, and baby acnes on any close ups of baby.
