When planning this filmy Vermont maternity session, my first question for Alicia and Jordan was, “What does a normal Sunday morning look like for you right now?” They quickly answered, “Coffee, pancakes, getting the nursery ready, and going for a walk,” so I recommended we do that together during our session—just a little more intentionally and a little dressier;)

Around this time, I started experimenting with a bit more motion blur and a moodier, filmier look, and I asked Alicia if this was something she was comfortable with me delivering. I am so grateful she trusted me to get creative with this filmy Vermont maternity session, and I love how the photos came out!

Here are some of my favorites (it was hard to choose! View the full gallery here!)

Plan Your Own Filmy Vermont Maternity Session

I call my family, maternity, and newborn sessions “Storytelling Sessions” because that is exactly what they are.

Together, we plan a session that encapsulates the season of life you want to document. I’ll ask specific questions to help you brainstorm the most important moments, memories, and feelings you want to remember. You’ll have a chance to tell me more about the kind of images you’re most drawn to and the things that inspire you, and share any images you’ve seen and loved. Then, we’ll work together to plan outfits and choose a location and time that best represents your family and the story you want to tell.

Becoming a mother transformed the way I see and photograph the world — with a slowed-down feel focused on the sensory story of a life well-lived and even-more-loved.

I photograph the loose curl, the soft thunder of little feet, the vows said through tears with your toes in the moss.

This is not curated perfection. This is memory made visible.

My style behind the lens: Whether I'm looking for bugs with your kiddos, snuggling your newborn while you change outfits, or exploring Vermont nature with you and your love, your session will feel fun, effortless, and like you're hanging with a friend.

My style behind the image: With a nod to classic film and a vibrant punch, my photography style is a little grainy, a little earthy, and always nostalgic.  

My style behind the books: When I'm not taking your picture, I'm probably snuggled up with my dogs, my kiddo, and a spicy romantic fantasy novel (IYKYK).

Love stories? Here's Mine

001

It’s those small, familiar moments that you’ll want to remember when the toys
are packed away and the
bathwater's gone cold —
the mess, the motion,
the everyday rhythms.
So we press pause. We
make time. We capture
what’s real—calluses,
chocolate, chaos and
all.

There’s something kind
of magical about the
everyday: how it sneaks
past us while we’re
making lunch, brushing
crumbs off the counter,
or trying (and failing)
to fold the fitted
sheet.

Every Day
