DAYTON NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

THE DAYS ARE LONG BUT

the years are short


Newborns are only this tiny for a brief moment in time… newborns typically visit the studio in the first 6-12 days after birth, when they are still so fresh & new. This is the stage they love to sleep & curl up into those precious little poses.

With over 10 years of specializing in newborn photography, I promise your little one is in good hands.

TAKING CARE OF DETAILS

I guide each newborn session to give custom touches, while still providing my simple & organic style. Through natural settings and pure light your love and connection are beautifully preserved. Let me focus on the details so YOU can focus on the moments.

experience the difference
  • I create a baby lead session, ensuring every little detail of your tiny newborn is remembered. 
  • The studio is full of beautiful natural light and stocked with everything needed for your newborn session.
  • A proof gallery of lightly retouched images for you to view and select your favorites you want to invest in.
  • “Jennifer is absolutely incredible. She is so detailed oriented and always took the extra effort to make sure she got the perfect pictures. We will treasure our baby’s newborn pictures forever. I would highly recommend Jennifer and cannot thank her enough for capturing that part of our life.”

Questions? Let’s get you some answers.

Since the actual arrival of your baby is typically unpredictable, your due date is penciled in on my calendar and space is reserved for around the time of your due date. Once your baby has arrived, we will then schedule a date & time for the session.

Please note: Newborn sessions are typically scheduled on weekday mornings.

Yes, siblings are welcome to be included when booking the Signature Newborn session.

A proofing gallery will consist of lightly retouched images, that also include the studio watermark. Proofs are viewable, but not downloadable. I do not release proof images digitally. The amount of images in a proof gallery vary session to session, but are typically around 50 images. (less for Simplicity Sessions)

Your proof gallery will be available in about 2-3 days after your session. Proof galleries are sent via email, and are available in an online gallery.

My mission is to care for the tiniest details with the intention of giving each client a luxury experience from start to finish.

I’m a low volume photographer, meaning I typically only do one session a day. You can learn more about how being a low volume photographer allows me to give the best experience as possible, along with some important perks of flexibility to my clients HERE.

Final images are typically finalized and available to download in 1-2 weeks from the time you place your image order.

Yes, you will have access from your online gallery to order prints from a professional, exclusive printer that offers lustre, deep matte, and fine art prints.

You will also receive a print release with your final gallery. So you will also have the option to select another printer of your choice.

Yes, the studio offers a collection of heirloom keepsakes such as album, professional framed prints (complimentary design services included with both), and custom print boxes. All products are available to see in the studio.

Someday, she might be too big for moments like these, but what a beautiful thing to have photographs that bring you right back to how it all felt. 🥹❤️

Sometimes the best poses are the ones the kids come up with themselves! These three had a little vision of their own, and I was all for it!

Because sessions should be about more than just pretty pictures. They should be fun, relaxed, and full of personality. And I think these girls understood the assignment! 🙌🏻😉

What a treat it was having this sweet family back in front of my camera! The last time I photographed them was SIX years ago, when Jackson was just a tiny newborn.

One of the most rewarding parts of being a photographer is getting to reconnect with families years later and seeing how much life has changed since those first photographs.

Those baby blues, the warm golden sunshine, and a mama sneaking in one more kiss.

It’s the little moments like these that I love most. The way he fits in her arms, the way she looks at him, and all the love that doesn’t need a single word.

Because someday, these are the moments she’ll wish she could step back into, even for just a minute. 🥹❤️

Sometimes the sweetest moments are the ones filled with a little movement, lots of laughter, and absolutely no posing. ☺️

One of my favorite parts of what I do is getting to watch the little ones I’ve photographed since their earliest days grow, change, and develop their own personalities.

And seeing the sweet bond between these two makes it even better.

Time really does fly when you’re watching someone else’s babies grow, too! 🥹❤️
A Little Studio Update 🤍 As we head into the fina A Little Studio Update 🤍

As we head into the final months of the year, my calendar is filling up, and I wanted to share a little update for expecting families!

I currently have just a few openings remaining for newborn sessions:

🤍 November — 2 openings remaining
🤍 December — 2 openings remaining

Those first few weeks with your baby are such a fleeting season. From their tiny fingers and toes to the way they curl up so perfectly in your arms, these are the little details you’ll want to remember long after they’ve grown.

My natural-light studio in historic Centerville offers a calm, baby-led experience, with a thoughtfully curated wardrobe for moms and little ones, so you can simply arrive and enjoy this time with your family.

If you’re expecting a November or December baby, I’d love to begin planning your newborn session!

Swipe through for my remaining availability, and visit the link in my bio to reserve your session.

And somehow, my editing queue keeps growing faster than I can deliver galleries!

I absolutely love this time of year, but Lightroom and I are spending a little too much quality time together lately.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a few thousand more photos waiting for me. ☕🤎
