Hastings newborn photographer
Let's hold onto the feeling of those first snuggles a little bit longer...
These days can feel like the most beautiful blur. I’m here to help you slow them down for just a little while and document this sweet season exactly as it felt. Because, one day, you’ll want to remember more than how tiny they were. You’ll want to remember the way they settled into your chest, the way you looked at them, and what it felt like to be their whole world.
how does this sound...
Natural, slow & sweet newborn sessions
Our time together is intentionally slow, relaxed, and baby-led. We’ll capture this season just as it feels — your sweet new baby curled up on your chest, big siblings popping in for a snuggle, quiet moments to feed and soothe, and all the little in-between details. And the best part?There’s nothing you need to do but love on your baby. I’ll take care of the rest, creating photos that feel warm, natural, and true to this season.
Want to document more than just the newborn days? Maternity sessions and First Year Collections are also available, giving you the option to capture your growing family from pregnancy through baby’s first year.

the first year collection
The first year changes so quickly — from the anticipation before baby arrives, to those sleepy newborn days, to the little milestones that seem to happen overnight. The First Year Collection includes three sessions of your choice so you can document the seasons that matter most to your family, from maternity, newborn, to six-month and first birthday milestones. Collections begin at $600, making it an easy way to preserve more of your baby’s story from the very beginning.
1. WHAT TO DO BEFORE my in-home
NEWBORN SESSION?
Before your session, I’ll send over The Newborn Prep & Booking Guide to help you feel ready without the overwhelm. The most important thing is to keep things relaxed and true to your family. There’s no need for a perfectly clean home or a strict schedule. Try to keep your space warm and comfortable, have snacks and feedings as needed, and choose neutral, comfortable outfits for the family. I’ll guide you through anything else you need so you can simply enjoy this time.
2. Where do sessions usually take place?
Newborn sessions are offered in your home for a relaxed lifestyle experience or in a natural light studio in Hastings for a clean, timeless look. Fresh 48 sessions take place in the hospital or birth center within the first 48 hours after birth. Maternity and milestone sessions are held at an agreed-upon location, which may include the studio or outdoor locations around Central Nebraska depending on the season and your vision.
3. How do you guide us during the session?
I keep direction very gentle and natural. Sessions are a mix of lightly guided posing and natural interactions. I’ll usually guide you through small movements and interactions so the session feels comfortable and the photos still feel like you. We will include a variety of portraits for baby, the whole family, and tender moments with mom, dad, and siblings.
4. How do we book a newborn session?
You can fill out my Newborn Contact Form with a few details about yourself, the type of session you’re looking for, your due date, and any other dates or locations you already have in mind. I’ll get back to you with availability, pricing, my Newborn Prep & Booking Guide, and the next steps from there.
