Your baby will only be this small once—and these fleeting moments deserve to be remembered. Their tiny toes, how perfectly they fit in your arms, those delicate little features… these are the details you’ll want to hold onto forever.
When you book with me, you can feel confident knowing your baby is in experienced, gentle hands. I’ve attended numerous newborn photography workshops and conferences, and I’m trained in safe posing and handling.
Sessions are completely baby-led and relaxed. If your little one needs a break, a feeding, or extra cuddles—we pause and follow their lead. Your only job is to sit back, relax, and watch the magic unfold.

The Newborn Experience
As a mom of three, I know just how quickly time passes. I love the saying, “The days are long, but the years are short.” One moment, your baby fits perfectly in your arms—and before you know it, they don’t. Their tiny features will change so quickly, and that’s why capturing these moments matters so much.
Every newborn session begins with a personalized questionnaire, so I can learn exactly what you’re envisioning. From there, I handle all the planning to ensure your session is completely stress-free. Your only job is to relax while I photograph your baby with care, patience, and love.
You’ll have full access to my curated collection of wraps, hats, headbands, outfits, and accessories—no need to bring anything unless it’s sentimental. Newborns are typically photographed between 10–20 days old, but I always work around what’s best for your baby’s timing.
YOUR PRECIOUS BABY IS HERE.
THEY WILL NEVER BE THIS SMALL AGAIN—LET’S PRESERVE THESE MEMORIES.
Congratulations, mama! I can’t wait to hear from you. Just send me a message and we’ll start planning your session together. I’d love to learn all about you—your due date (or baby’s birth date), how you’re feeling, your baby’s name, and anything else you’d like to share.
We’ll chat about your vision, favorite colors, and any special touches you’d love to include. If your baby hasn’t arrived yet, I’ll pencil in your due date and you’ll simply reach out once they’re born. If your baby is already here, we’ll aim to schedule the session between 10–20 days new—but don’t worry, we can create beautiful images at any age.
The fun is just beginning!
1. Say Hello
Let’s get your session on the calendar!
Once you’re ready to book, I’ll send over a simple contract and session retainer. As soon as those are completed, your session is officially reserved.
If your baby hasn’t arrived yet, I’ll pencil in your due date and hold space around that time. Once your baby is born, we’ll schedule the actual session date—typically between 10–20 days new. I only accept a limited number of sessions each month to ensure flexibility for early or late arrivals.
It’s an easy, seamless process—and you’ll be all set!
2. Schedule it
About a week before your session, I’ll send over a short questionnaire to learn more about your preferences—everything from colors and styling to poses you love.
You’re also welcome to include a collage or links to a few favorite images from my Instagram that resonate with your vision. This helps me tailor the session to your style and make it truly personal.
And of course, you can reach out to me anytime with questions or ideas. I’m here for you every step of the way.

3. Planning it
It’s session day! I’m so excited to meet your sweet baby and create something beautiful for your family.
During your session, your only job is to relax. Many parents even sneak in a little nap! I’ll provide light snacks, product samples to explore, and a cozy space for you to unwind while I take care of everything baby-related.
I create a calm, gentle atmosphere so your little one feels safe and comfortable throughout. Every baby is different, so sessions typically last between 1.5 to 2.5 hours—plenty of time for breaks, snuggles, and soothing when needed.
4. Your Session
Within 1–2 weeks of your session, you’ll receive a private link to view your fully edited gallery. This is the moment where it all comes together—and yes, happy tears are completely normal.
After you’ve had time to enjoy your images, you’ll select your favorites and decide on a collection, digital files, or a la carte artwork.
And don’t worry—if you’re unsure what to choose, I’m here to guide you through it all. From start to finish, I’ve got you.
5. Your Photographs
heirloom artwork • priceless
Together, we’ll create timeless photographs that you and your family will cherish for a lifetime. Every session is fully customized to reflect your story, your style, and what matters most to you.
My goal is to provide a boutique photography experience—relaxed, personal, and beautifully crafted from start to finish. You’ll also have access to a curated selection of heirloom-quality products to display your portraits with intention and elegance.

I found Candice on Yelp. I was impressed with her artwork and reached out to her with a last minute booking, as my daughter was already two weeks old and it was the holiday season. Like many parents, I made the assumption of thinking I can do the newborn photos myself. I was so wrong - and I'm a professional photographer myself. It takes a true master of their craft to create newborn photos and Candice is that person. She made the experience convenient from beginning to end. She provides a questionnaire to better gauge her clients expectations and vision for the photo shoot and practically takes the driver seat during the photoshoot with and without the camera. As first time parents, it was nice to sit back and let Candice do what she does best. Post production (editing) was fast and the photos were amazing and high quality resolution. My wife and I were extremely satisfied (we cried) with the photos and customer service. Professional photography is a luxury. It's expected to spend money. Candice is worth it.

NEWBORN SESSION
Candice is so wonderful to work with! She truly has made every session we've done with her feel special and tailored just to u. She really knocked it out of the park with our newborn twins and somehow got incredible photos with everyone in our family of 6 smiling.

We did our new born photos with Candice. I am so so impressed with her studio and the way she handled my baby. She made sure the environment was perfect for a newborn. It was so relaxing and comforting, my baby loved it. She was so great with my baby as well, she changed him into outfits so quickly, and let me take my time feeding him. I will 100% be back for our 1 year old pictures. Candice is absolutely amazing and the pictures are beyond anything I imagined! Thank you so much!!
