Your Sherwood Newborn, Maternity and Family Photographer
I’m a newborn and maternity photographer based in Portland, Oregon, serving families in Sherwood and nearby communities.
Families from Sherwood often visit my studio for calm, baby-led newborn sessions. The studio is a short drive from Sherwood and offers plenty of parking, which makes the visit easier for parents with a new baby.
I create warm, timeless images that highlight genuine connection and quiet, meaningful moments. My approach is calm and gently guided, so sessions feel relaxed and natural for your family.
Most of my work takes place in the studio, where everything is prepared in advance to create a peaceful, comfortable environment for newborns and parents.
I love creating images families will look back on years from now and remember not just how this season looked, but how it felt. Working with babies and young children is a privilege, and each session is approached with care, patience, and respect for your family’s rhythm.
When to Get in Touch
I take a limited number of newborn sessions each month to keep the experience calm and personal.
The best time to reach out is around 12 weeks of pregnancy to reserve a spot close to your due date.
