Maine Newborn Photographer
Documentary, laid-back approach to newborn sessions | all on film
I take a candid, natural approach to newborn sessions. No need to perform - just show up as you are in this fleeting time of life. These sessions are for those wanting photographs of the early day rituals. Photographs of your new normal in the newborn phase.
A lot of life happens at home (especially during this season), so let me come to you. Invite me over on a free morning or take me to your favorite local park.
Newborn sessions start at $950
MAINE NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER
Documentary newborn photography on film in Maine
I’m a Maine-based newborn + family photographer, who loves to document everyday life and human connection. I believe there is magic in the ordinary that demands to be seen; imperfect, authentic moments in time that tell your story. Much of my work comes from a commitment to showcasing real & diverse families. I will be there to document those little and big moments that make your life yours!
What makes my newborn photography approach different?
As a Maine newborn photographer I take a laid back, lifestyle approach to newborn photographs. I want your photographs to celebrate the real everyday of this time in your lives. The little everyday moments you’ll actually want to remember & small details you can look back on. My newborn sessions are slow, full of ease, and meet you wherever you are in this season. No need to rush or perform - you are already worthy of of being seen as you are.
In the last three years alone, I’ve worked with over 100 families to tell their story through unique photographs, and in 2025 I was named in the top 20 family photographers ‘Ones to Watch’ list by Heartful Magazine. I travel throughout the state (and beyond) to document families in their homes and all of their favorite, special places. My approach is grounded in empathy and intentionality - creating non-traditional family photographs on analog film that celebrate real, everyday life.
Maine Newborn Photography Session FAQs
-
When you inquire with me, we will work together to pick a date that works for you. I can work around naptimes, activities, and events. Depending on your ideas and availability, we can find the best time that works for you. For outdoor sessions, I typically suggest early morning (before 11am), or afternoon times in the hours leading up to sunset.
-
The timing for a newborn session is totally up to you. However, I have found that waiting at least about a month in gives you time to adjust a little to the new schedule and new season of life.

There is something incredibly magical about film. When I load a 35mm roll of film into my camera, I have 36 opportunities to make art. Each shutter exposes the film to light, creating an impression of the image I see through my lens. In doing so, I am transposing human connection onto a thin piece of plastic, taking part in an extroadinary reaction.
I particularly like to capture childhood on film given it’s both timeless and nostalgic quality. From an aesethic standpoint, the colors of film are unmatched compared to digital. From a process standpoint, film forces me to slow down, and in doing so, capture moments more intentionally. What this means for you is intimate unexpected moments captured on a timeless medium.
With film there is a degree of chaos, uncertainty, and imperfection. When you take part in a film session there will be creativity, beauty, and unanticipated magic!

I am a documentary photographer, meaning I do not want to interfere with the natural flow of your life. I'd much rather meet you where you are take perfectly imperfect photographs. While I may give you some prompts, I'm much more interested in sitting back and seeing where the moment takes us. Sessions with me tend to be laid back, natural, and focused on documenting candid authentic emotion and connection.
I want your pictures to reflect who you truly are, and through a careful, quiet, and slow process of observing I create art with you. Photographs tell the stories of our lives, serving as proof for us and future generations. Proof that we lived a life injected with magic, love, emotion, and art.
