newborn storytelling sessions

your journey to motherhood artfully and honestly documented in your home

nostalgic. home. meaningful connection.

Hey Mama, Newborn Storytelling sessions are done exclusively in and around your home (no need to wrangle kids and leave the house!), for that perfectly cozy, stress free, natural feel. I simply come to your home and make beautiful photographs of you falling in love with your baby.

PS- if you're interested, you may want to consider my Belly + Baby Package for a more complete storytelling experience.


"Jess came and did a documentary style photoshoot of our newborn and our little daughters ages 6, 4, and 2. That in and of itself is a challenge! But she was fun, comfortable and an artist. We love our family and newborn photos and will treasure them. Worth every penny." - Leigh H.
