Hartland, Michigan newborn photographer

Photography has always been a passion of mine. For as long as I can remember a "nice" camera had always been on my Christmas list, but no one...not even Santa...got one for me. I loved taking photos of school events and I have scrapbooks to prove it (I wasn't in any of those photos though, lol)

Soon after I got married my husband got me a nice camera for Christmas. Several months later my daughter arrived. I was so excited to take beautiful photos of her. I soon realized that those beautiful poses that I wanted were way beyond my skill level. I settled for a baby laying on a white blanket with a purple wrap tucked around her. I couldn't even figure out how to wrap her properly.

I tried and tried, but no matter what I did the photos were not everything I imagined. I vowed not to make that mistake again. For my second child (my son), I went to a local photographer. I was excited to get those beautiful photos done of him and also our first family photos (another huge regret that I had was not getting family photos done when my first was born or anytime that first year).

I loved my photos of my son, but I also realized that I wanted to give newborn photography and photography in general a try. I wanted adorable photos of my kids as much as I could possibly get. So, I started investing in photography. I bought backdrops, wraps, props, outfits, and more.... I invested in my education by taking online and in person newborn photography classes. I wanted to know everything I could.


I enjoyed being able to take my children down to my in-home studio as much as I could. I got so many cute photos and I am so happy I invested in myself and my passion. Newborns bring me so much joy. I love knowing that I am helping a family invest in those adorable newborn photos that I wanted for my daughter. I won't make that mistake ever again!
