These Dreamy Days

These are the days you’ve dreamed of for months … maybe years. You’ve worked so hard to create this beautiful new life, and now they’re finally here. (Whew — can I just say, good job, Mama!) You deserve a moment to settle into this bliss and preserve the feeling forever with soft, romantic images full of love and life.

How I capture that connection

You just brought a whole human into this world, so you’ve earned a little relaxation, don’t you think? I’ll walk you through the entire experience so you know what to expect, how to prepare and how to feel beautiful in front of the camera. I’m talking 

→ Client closet with a range of postpartum-friendly gowns
→ Natural, safety-first poses with simple swaddles
→ Hair and make-up recs that I can arrange
→ Wardrobe ideas for your husband … you’re welcome :)
→ Easy direction and flattering angles that are new Mom-approved

You're in good hands

Heather did a fantastic job on our first daughter’s newborn photos. She was patient and was so gentle when placing her in different positions. Prior to our session, she sent a guide including information on what to expect. As a first time mom, this was so helpful to have and to make me aware of expectations while adjusting to life with a newborn! —Emily

And honestly, that’s a huge honor. Too often, being a parent can feel chaotic, hurried, a little frazzled. But when you step through the door of my studio, I want you to feel like you’re surrounded by calm, patience and warmth. As your Cedar Rapids newborn photographer, I’m not here to rush you, I’m here to take care of you. I think you can see all that real comfort and connection in the photos we’ll create. 

Also, I’m a mom of three, so I’ve lots of practice in patience.

Patience —
it’s a word I hear a lot from my clients

We started with newborn photos for our baby girl, which turned out better than I could have imagined. It’s amazing how she can make something you think is not going to turn out into art! We have definitely found our family photo person! —Mallorie

First breath … first cries … first half-asleep-middle-of-the-night diaper change 
And these … 
Your first family photos.

This Season Full of Firsts
