Let’s preserve the magic with timeless, heartfelt images you’ll treasure forever.

A tender time in your life worth documenting

There’s no one-size-fits-all way to document this extraordinary chapter—and that’s why I offer three beautifully designed paths to preserve your growing family’s story. For those who want to go all in and savor every detail, I offer a fully curated experience that captures each precious stage with intention and artistry—because these moments are truly once in a lifetime.

Whichever path you choose, your memories will be held with care, beauty, and heart.

The newborn full session

the newborn documentary

For parents who want something meaningful and beautiful on a modest budget, the newborn mini session offers a simplified way to capture your baby just as they are—fresh, new, and full of wonder. Because of the shorter 30-minute format, this experience focuses on candid, natural images rather than posed, sleepy setups, but during your consultation, we’ll thoughtfully plan your session together. I’ll guide you through prop options, access to the client closet, and how to get the most out of this sweet, focused time. You’ll receive 10 hand-edited portraits of your choice in our Signature Box of archival-quality prints, with additional images available for purchase at $15 each or included in purchase of 8x10 or larger prints. These sessions are exclusively at the ALP studio in central Indiana. This is a solo adventure for your little one. Simple, soulful, and beautifully curated for memories that last. 

As you explore options for your newborn photographer, I gently encourage every parent to consider one of the most important aspects of the experience—your baby’s safety. This session will be led by a seasoned professional with over seven years of experience in working with delicate newborns, always handling each little one with the utmost care, patience, and respect. You can rest assured that your baby is in safe, skilled hands—and that the images we create together will be not only beautiful, but captured with heart and intention.

All paths include:

Average newborn investment is $700. I offer options from $375 to $5000.
