Jackie & Joe are Expecting

September 13, 2021

  Jackie reached out to me in early July, excited about welcoming their first baby (a girl!) in the end of October. Since I love all things baby we found some time in early September to do their maternity session – and it was a dream! We had the most beautiful light, perfect 75 degrees […]

Last January 19th (my 40th birthday) I received this message through the contact form on my wesbite: Message: I am a gestational surrogate. This will be a gift to the lovely parents and their baby boy! My heart skipped a beat and I immediately wrote Kayla back! My affiliation as the Fresh 48 newborn photographer […]

The other day I had the opportunity to photograph Heidi and Alex and their two little girls, Hazel and Mazie at their home here in Dover, NH. After 4 weeks of these stay-at-home orders, I felt quite emotional seeing a family that typically I get to see whenever I want: at the gym, around town, […]

If I were single and childless I would photograph births 24/7/365; I love them so much that I actually don’t advertise that I do them all the time because turning down a birth is so difficult for me! It is my very favorite life event to document, no contest. Why? First of all, because holding […]

There is much more to my connection to this family than they may even know…life is so complicated, yet so beautifully simple: what we need, what we feel, who we come into contact with and when. There is a higher purpose to it all which I may never fully understand or be able to make […]

I’m not sure where to start with this blog post – there’s just so much to say about this little family! Photographing Ella Rae is extra special for a lot of reasons, but at the heart of it is love – is my late father (who I called “dad”, my grandfather Norm Walker). The new […]

I truly believe everything happens for a reason. Every person you meet comes into your life for a reason. You may not know why for years, or you may know right away. Some people we meet briefly and wonder if you’ll ever see them again. About 3 years ago, while my husband’s best friend from […]

I have known Kate and her big boy Frankie for a few years now – she is one of those people who you meet and pretty much immediately want to know if you can be friends – you know what I mean? Sweet, kind, super smart and clearly awesome. We first got to work together […]

I have so many sessions to blog, but I had to start with this most recent one! Chris and Bri have a special place in my heart. I photographed their wedding just a few years ago (see blog post HERE), and then I got to photograph their first daughter Teagan in July 2014. Fast forward […]

Anyone who knows me (even for a few minutes) knows that I LOVE to photograph expecting mothers – and their new, teeny tiny little babies! (I love it so much that I will be offering birth photography collections in the future, but that’s for another blog post!) Lucky for me, 2015 was nothing short of amazing […]

you're in!
