I have some truly exciting news to share with you…

For those seeking exceptional studio photography in Cedar Rapids, look no further. When I first began capturing the delicate beauty of newborns and the radiant glow of expectant mothers, I dreamed of crafting a space that echoed the warmth and intimacy of those precious moments. A sanctuary where new parents could unwind, where mothers-to-be could feel beautiful, and where the cutest details—like the gentle curl of a baby’s fingers or the serene stretch of a newborn’s yawn—could be preserved in timeless photographs, effortlessly and naturally.

This vision is finally becoming a reality! In April 2025, I’m thrilled to open my new studio space, meticulously designed for maternity and lifestyle newborn sessions, serving all of Cedar Rapids and Iowa City.

Why a Dedicated Studio Space?

Newborn photography is an art that thrives on comfort, genuine connection, and the ability to capture those in-between moments that hold the most profound meaning. While in-home sessions possess their own unique charm, I wanted to create a haven where families could arrive without the added stress of preparing their homes. A place where you can feel completely at ease, as if you’re in your own living room, but with the added benefit of a professionally curated environment. This dedicated space allows me to fully control the lighting and environment, creating the perfect conditions for capturing those precious newborn moments. This is what makes a dedicated space for studio photography in Cedar Rapids so valuable.

What Sets This Studio Apart?

  • A Warm, Home-Like Ambiance: Imagine soft, neutral color palettes, gentle, flattering lighting, and a tranquil atmosphere meticulously designed to put you and your family at ease.
  • Ideal for Newborns: Free from distractions and clutter, this studio provides a serene, peaceful environment where we can focus entirely on capturing the sweetest, most delicate details of your newborn.
  • Beautiful, Natural Light: The studio is designed to maximize natural light, enhancing every shot with a soft, dreamy radiance that brings your photos to life.
  • Carefully Curated Wardrobe Collection: To alleviate any stress about wardrobe choices, I’ve assembled a selection of soft, neutral pieces that are perfect for new moms, ensuring you look and feel your best. Many clients find this service to be a huge benefit when they consider studio photography in Cedar Rapids.

More Than Just a Space—A Truly Stress-Free Experience

Having experienced the whirlwind of emotions and responsibilities that accompany those first few weeks with a newborn, I understand how overwhelming they can be. That’s why I’ve designed my studio to be a peaceful retreat, a sanctuary where you can simply arrive, snuggle your baby, and entrust me to capture the magic.

Planning a maternity session? Forget about worrying about unpredictable weather or searching for the perfect outdoor location. Simply step into my studio, select an outfit from the wardrobe collection if you wish, and let’s collaborate to create timeless images that celebrate this extraordinary chapter of your life. For those searching for a truly stress free experience, this studio photography in Cedar Rapids is ideal.

For newborn sessions, there’s no need to rush around tidying up your home. Just settle in, savor the precious moments with your little one, and allow me to capture the tiny details that you’ll cherish forever.
