About
Newborn Photographer
I fell in love with photography very early on and started my journey as a wedding photographer when I was 22, then became a skydiver and worked as a skydiving instructor and videographer until I had my son in 2020 and found my passion as a newborn photography.
Time flies so fast! I'm happy that I took the time to capture all the little moments of the early stages of my children life and I'd like to give the same gift to other moms.
I love my job. I am so lucky to spend a few hours getting to know your little one during the first few weeks of life. I love getting to know you and your new addition, learning your story and becoming a part of it. It is my passion to capture every little detail of your precious baby and create a beautiful, one of a kind experience for you to cherish!

Not everything captured by a camera is a finished photograph.
A RAW file is just the starting point.
The final image is created through careful, detailed work with color, light, and skin.
That’s why professional photographers don’t deliver RAW files.
It’s like handing over an unfinished painting.
You’re not coming for files.
You’re investing in a result shaped by experience and vision.#hudsonvalleyphotographer #ulstercountyphotographer #orangcountyphotographer

Because this stage deserves to be remembered beautifully 🤍
At 1–2 months, your baby begins to reveal their personality —
soft expressions, quiet connection, delicate details you’ll never see the same way again.
A refined, full-service experience designed for comfort, safety, and timeless imagery.
You simply arrive. Everything is prepared for you.

So many moms tell me:
“I’m tired… I don’t feel ready… let’s just photograph the baby”
But later?
Their favorite photos are always the ones
where they’re together 🤍

When is the best time to photograph a newborn? 🤍
The ideal time is within the first 10–14 days after birth
During this stage, babies:
— sleep deeply
— curl naturally into those womb-like poses
— are calm and easier to settle
After two weeks, babies become more alert,
stretch out more, and sleep less deeply
Which means those soft, curled poses become harder to achieve
These early days pass so quickly
and they never come back
That’s why I always recommend booking your session during pregnancy
to secure your spot in advance
