Newborn Photo Sessions

Our newborn photography sessions are baby-led and can take place in your home or outdoors. They include 1-2 hours of flexible shooting time, depending on the package you choose and the needs of your baby. We’ll take things slowly, get to know each other a little, and keep things relaxed.

Elizabeth specializes in documentary, lifestyle photography, and her work is driven by the philosophy that the most powerful photographs capture unscripted moments. This means that in addition to the requisite, traditional posed photographs, she will also work to document the subtlest gestures and sweetest moments of connection between your family.

Meet Elizabeth, your Portland newborn photographer

When my dad gave me my first point-and-shoot film camera for my 8th grade graduation, a door opened that allowed me to see, experience, and interpret the world in inspiring new ways. It helped fuel my fascination with the stories that make us human -- the complicated, difficult, redemptive, staggeringly beautiful experiences that make up and shape our lives, and with how those stories connect us. It gave me a literal lens through which to explore humanity: what motivates us, fills us up, what breaks us, and what lifts us up again. My photography has connected me to the importance of community, and a conviction that strong communities nurture resilience in the face of struggle. With these interests at heart, my work as a photographer is documentary in nature, seeking to explore and capture the stories of our lives as they are -- even if it’s messy, and even when we’re working on a half-posed portrait session. I look for connection, longing, laughter, and the small details: whatever is most real for you that day, or in a fleeting moment. I want to learn and help you tell your story.

I think all pregnant bodies are beautiful, and that growing a human is one of the most incredible things a person can do in their life. I believe in celebrating and remembering the transformative time before you meet your baby and find out who they are. I know that labor and birth are intense, sacred, and powerful, and that few times in our lives are more life-changing and worthy of being remembered.
