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.
