Capture These Precious Moments
your nyc Motherhood photographer
I’ve always believed that the earliest days of a baby’s life are some of the most meaningful, tender, and fleeting days we ever experience. Long before I became a photographer, I was a mom — and that shaped everything about the way I document families today.
As a mother of three, I know how quickly these years pass. I remember the tiny toes, the soft breaths, the long nights, and the overwhelming love that fills your whole world. Those memories become treasures, and I found myself wishing I had more portraits that truly captured what those moments felt like.
That wish is what led me here.
Photography became my way of preserving the emotions we hold onto most — the softness, the quiet, the connection, the beginning of a new chapter. Over time, it grew into a passion, then a calling, and now a full-time career dedicated entirely to newborns, babies, and growing families across New York.
Mastering the art of newborn and baby photography,
one precious moment at a time
With over 10 years of experience as a professional NYC newborn, baby, and maternity photographer — and more than 20 years working with children — I bring a calm, intuitive approach to every session. Many parents lovingly call me their “Baby Whisperer” for the way I soothe, pose, and care for even the tiniest little ones.
My goal has always been simple:
to create a peaceful, thoughtful experience and timeless portraits that feel as beautiful as the moments themselves.
Every session is intentionally curated to reflect your family’s style and story. I carefully select soft tones, gentle textures, and classic compositions that will remain meaningful for decades. Whether we’re documenting your pregnancy, your newborn’s earliest days, or your baby’s growing milestones, I approach each moment with artistry, patience, and heart.
Creativity is at the core of my work. I find inspiration in the smallest details — the way a newborn curls into your hands, the softness of a mother’s embrace, the peaceful quiet between frames. These are the moments that become heirlooms.
From your first inquiry to the final delivery of your images, I prioritize making the entire journey calm, seamless, and stress-free.
Your comfort, your baby’s safety, and the emotional meaning behind your portraits are always my top priorities.
I’m truly honored to be part of your family’s story and to create the memories you’ll hold onto for a lifetime.

When your session day arrives, you'll be welcomed into my cozy Brooklyn studio. While I work, get comfy on our couch, enjoy a light snack, and relax.

The whole session is a very calm, slow, and gentle experience - never rushed - that flows at the pace of your baby for maximum comfort.
For maternity and family photographs, trust that I will guide you through crafted posing techniques that will capture your beauty; you’ll never be left wondering what to do in front of the camera. Most importantly, I’ll capture the emotions and love you feel for your new baby.
