Cary newborn photographer
As a Cary newborn photographer, I specialize in light, bright, and timeless newborn photography in my studio and in-home settings for families throughout Cary, Raleigh, and surrounding areas. My newborn sessions are fully guided and designed to safely capture your baby’s earliest days with soft, natural, heirloom-quality images.
“Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.”

As a Raleigh & Cary newborn photographer, I offer cozy in-home lifestyle newborn sessions as well as studio newborn sessions for a more posed, light, and timeless look. To keep everything simple and stress-free, I provide access to my client closet and can help coordinate hair and makeup, so you can focus on enjoying those early days while I take care of the rest.
I recommend reaching out early to reserve your session. Newborn sessions are scheduled based on due date, so there’s no need to wait until your baby arrives. The best time to photograph your newborn is within 7–14 days, when babies are naturally sleepier and more relaxed.
Congrats, mama!

Baby products I love...
Solly baby wraps
Solly Baby Wraps have been a go-to for me since the very beginning. When my first son was tiny, we lived in his Solly wrap — it was soft, breathable, and kept him close while I moved through the day. Whether I was making coffee, folding laundry, or just soaking up those early snuggles, it gave us both comfort and freedom.
HATCH NOISE MACHINE
The Hatch sound machine has been a staple in our home since my first son was a newborn — and we’re still using it four years later as a toddler. What started as a tool to help settle those early sleepy days quickly became part of our daily routine. The gentle, consistent sound helps create a calm sleep environment, whether it’s nap time, bedtime, or anytime in between.
halo velcro swaddle
Velcro! My number one best advice when shopping for swaddles is velcro! The Halo Velcro Swaddle is one of those newborn must-haves that makes life so much easier.I love how convenient it is for middle-of-the-night changes and quick outfit swaps, especially when everyone’s still learning newborn rhythms.
Mockingbird stroller
bassinet attachment
The Mockingbird stroller bassinet attachment is a favorite for those early newborn days. Unlike a car seat attachment, the bassinet allows babies to lie flat and fully stretch out, making it a much more comfortable option for longer walks or outings. I love that babies can truly relax, nap, and lounge comfortably rather than being curled up for short periods
