Love Notes...
A few words from the families who’ve trusted me with their favorite moments.
Jenna
★★★★★
I would 100% recommend Kara for newborn photos. She made the entire process enjoyable and not stressful at all, and her photos are absolutely beautiful. She captures your new love in such a natural way and makes you feel completely at ease. We’re so thankful to have these memories forever.
Brittany
★★★★★
Kara was absolutely great with our newborn and even included our two dogs with so much patience. The session felt natural, relaxed, and honestly enjoyable. She used our home so beautifully and had ideas ready the entire time. I highly recommend her for new parents.
Kelsie
★★★★★
Kara is incredible. She makes you feel comfortable and confident and is truly amazing with kids. When my baby arrived earlier than expected, she rearranged her schedule to capture those first moments in the hospital. I’ve known Kara for years and wouldn’t trust anyone else with these memories.
When is the best time to book a newborn session?
I recommend reaching out during your second or third trimester to reserve a spot. We’ll officially schedule your session once baby arrives — ideally within the first 2–3 weeks.
Do you come to our home?
Yes. I specialize in relaxed, natural newborn sessions in your home (or outdoors if the weather is warm). I bring everything we need and keep the experience simple and low-stress.
What if my baby is fussy or doesn’t sleep?
That’s completely normal. I follow baby’s lead and take breaks as needed. Some of the sweetest moments come from letting baby be themselves.
Can siblings or pets be included?
Absolutely. I love including big brothers, sisters, and fur babies in your session.
