Maternity, Newborn, & Milestone
These moments won't last forever. Let's capture them beautifully!
Hey there! I'm Nicole, a Mesa, Arizona based 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 over 6 years of experience doing so. Sessions with me have a light and positive atmosphere- we will take the time needed to capture you and your baby. Sessions can take place in your home or at my studio in North Mesa. When you book with me, I’ll provide you a newborn session guide so you know what to wear, prepare and expect. All of my clients also get access to my client closet- so there is little stress about what you or baby will wear! Once we start our session, I will guide you the whole time and come prepared with swaddles, headbands, hats, props, and everything 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!
After our session I will send you a proof gallery with the strongest, best images from your session. These images will be lightly edited. You will be able to choose which images you like best (and purchase additional images or upgrade to full gallery). Your gallery will be back to you within 2-3 weeks of me receiving your selections.
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 and newborn photos. I can assure you I am up for the challenge 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 lifestyle and maternity sessions, I include basic retouches. Fine-art retouching is included for the signature and classic newborn sessions.

InCLUDED IN EACH SESSION
Location Guide
When it comes to choosing a location for your outdoor maternity session, I know it can be overwhelming to think about where you’d like to go. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! Once you book, I will send over a location guide that has 20+ locations across the valley that have great backdrops and beautiful light. You’ll get the chance to look it over and let me know if there’s some place you’d like to go.
Session Guide
You won’t be left alone to plan your upcoming session! After booking I will send over my maternity and/or newborn session guides which will walk you through each step of planning your session- from choosing a color palette to knowing what to wear to what to do to best prepare a month/week/hour before your session.
Access to My Client Closet
I am so excited to be offering a closet to my clients. I currently have over 30 beautiful dresses that can be worn for any kind of shoots- and I’ve got a diverse selection in sizes XS-3X.
You do not need to bring anything for baby- I’ve got you covered with cute outfits, bows/headbands, and the best swaddles for photos.
You are welcome to use my client closet free of any additional charge. Once you’ve booked I will send over my guide!
HOW IT WORKS
Booking Your Session
Click the button below to submit an inquiry. You will need to select the package/session you are interested in- if you’re still deciding, no problem! Just let me know in the question portion!
Once your inquiry is submitted, I will respond within 2-3 business days. From there I will confirm your session selection and grab your due date as well as send your session/location guides and the contract/invoice. Once the retainer is paid, your date (maternity) is solidified and I will save space for your baby near their due date!
Once baby is here, I’ll ask you to reach out to me ASAP so we can get you on the calendar. Newborn sessions are best done within the first 2 weeks of baby’s life.
Depending on which session you book, I am available to help you pick out outfits. You also have access to my client closet and may set up a time to try on dresses. My session guide will help you through all the planning- from what colors to wear, to which location you’d like, and on! I am also here for you when you need me!
Planning your Session
All of my clients will receive both a session and location guide to help you prepare for your upcoming maternity or newborn session. These guides are super helpful and include important information such as what colors to wear, what to expect, how to prepare baby, etc! I also offer outfit consultations to my signature package clients.
Prior to your newborn session I will provide you with a document that includes photos of all of the baby props and colors I offer in the studio. You will then be able to make your selections and let me know if you have any requested poses, props, colors, etc through a questionnaire. I will always do my best to accommodate your requests but will follow baby’s lead during the session.
The day of your session is meant to be great! Do not stress about the details. I will help guide you through poses and promise you to make it as stress-free as possible. We can take breaks as needed for baby (and toddler siblings!)
Select Your Images + Delivery of Your Gallery!
After your session you will receive a proofing gallery of the strongest images from our session. I will make sure to provide a variety of choices for you. These images will be lightly edited. You will be able to select which images you like best and then I will continue with my final editing and retouching. You will receive your final gallery within 2-3 weeks of selecting your images.
You are welcome to purchase additional images for $15/each or upgrade to the full gallery for $150.
