Capturing the magic of new beginnings since 2008

Meet the Artist

Hello! I am so glad you are here! There is nothing more magical than the arrival of a new baby! As a newborn photography specialist, I am here to capture your baby’s beautiful features and budding new connections with family members in the first few days of life.

I absolutely love my job! It is magical and rewarding to meet new families and provide friendship, comfort and impeccable service during such a vulnerable time in their lives. I enjoy creating textured, stylized studio setups to capture your newborn’s fresh, raw beauty!

I currently reside in Greencastle, PA with my husband Stephen and 3 children. After stepping away from my career in finance at the Pentagon under the Secretary of the Navy to raise my children, I pursued classroom education and hands-on training in all technical aspects of photography. I opened my studio in 2008 and decided to concentrate on child and family photography given my joy of working with children. To refine my craft and expertise, I narrowed my business to specialize in newborn photography! I am licensed and insured in the State of Pennsylvania. Thank you for considering me as your newborn baby photographer, and I look forward to working with you and your growing family!
