Photography Studio Jacksonville, NC
NEWBORN | STARTING AT 700
Squishy cheeks, pouty lips, and tiny toes—those little details fade fast, but a custom newborn session helps you hold on to them forever.
Sessions take place in my cozy Jacksonville, NC studio —fully stocked with beautiful blankets, wraps, props, and tiny accessories (think bonnets, bows, and hats). You don’t have to worry about cleaning the house or bringing a thing unless you want to include something special like a family heirloom or uniform.
While I work my magic with your little one, you can relax on the comfy couch and enjoy a hot coffee or tea. I want this to be as stress-free as possible for you.

SITTER SESSION | 200
Celebrate the sweet stage when your baby can sit unassisted—chubby cheeks, chunky thighs, and all! These 30–60 minute sessions include 10–15 hand-retouched images, access to all studio props/outfits, and the option to customize with your baby’s favorite toy, colors, or theme. Outdoor sessions available for an additional fee.

How long is the session? The session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes.
Do you offer props and outfits? I have props and outfits that you may use during your session. Before your session, we will sit down and talk over your session ideas, pick out items, and have your little one try them on to be sure they fit.

CAKE SMASH | Starting at 350
Celebrate your little one’s first birthday with cake, chaos, and cuteness! I’ll take care of the cleanup so you can just enjoy the fun.
When should I schedule? I recommend scheduling your little one's cake smash session approximately 8 weeks in advance of the desired session date to allow time to plan setup.
Is the cake provided? The cake is not provided for the session, but I can make recommendations to some great local bakeries.
Do you offer props and outfits? You are welcome to use outfits and props that are in the studio. However, more delicate props and outfits won't be available for cake smashing.
