maternity & newborn
These early days of parenthood are full of beauty, change, and emotion — and they deserve to be remembered. As a mom of two teenagers, I have the gift of hindsight when it comes to maternity and newborn photography. I’ve been in your shoes—soaking in the newborn snuggles, running on little sleep, and trying to memorize every tiny detail of my babies before they grew in the blink of an eye. Now that my kids are older, I know exactly which moments you’ll want to hold onto forever. That’s why I offer both maternity and in-home newborn sessions designed to freeze time in a way that feels relaxed, natural, and real. No stiff poses, no pressure — just the quiet, joyful moments that become your favorite memories.
From bump to baby
Let’s tell the story of your growing family — from the flutter of baby kicks to the cozy newborn snuggles.
Whether you're celebrating your beautiful bump, soaking in that newborn scent, or doing both — I’m here to capture it all with warmth, heart, and a little whimsy.

"Robyn is simply the best! We have had newborn photo shoots done for both of our daughters, as well as a family photo session, and we couldn't be happier. Robyn goes the extra mile to make each session a comfortable and fun experience, even for us awkward photo takers! It is evident with each photo she takes that she loves what she does. My family can't recommend her highly enough! We are forever grateful to Robyn for helping us create such special and memorable keepsakes to cherish as our children & family grow!"
maternity photography
Pregnancy is full of anticipation, emotion, and transformation — and it deserves to be remembered. My maternity sessions are relaxed and joy-filled, capturing your glow and the connection between you and your growing baby. We'll laugh, wander, and create images that reflect the beauty of this season.
**Best scheduled between 28–34 weeks.
Let’s celebrate that beautiful bump!
Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most precious moments, and your photos should reflect the love, warmth, and joy of this special time. Newborn sessions take place in the comfort of your home, where everything feels cozy, familiar, and relaxed. No pressure to have a Pinterest-perfect space — just soft light, snuggles, and genuine connection. I focus on capturing the moments you’ll want to remember forever.
Sessions are calm and unhurried, allowing plenty of time for feedings, diaper changes, and quiet moments. You’ll receive beautifully edited images that preserve these fleeting days, so you can always remember the love and wonder of your baby’s first weeks at home.
**Best scheduled within the first two weeks of baby's arrival.
Real Life. Tiny Details. A Love that Changes Everything!

Whether you’re still waiting on baby’s arrival or already knee-deep in those sleepy snuggles, in-home newborn sessions are calm, gentle, and completely baby-led. I come to you — so there’s no packing up, no pressure, and no rush. Just a slow, love-filled morning spent soaking in your new little world.
The best photos don’t just show what it looked like — they remind you how it felt.
Booking both sessions together means everything is planned ahead, beautifully cohesive, and full of intentional storytelling. Plus, you’ll save on your session fee — and gain peace of mind knowing that every precious detail will be preserved.
From the glow of pregnancy to the wonder of those first newborn days, this is a chapter you’ll never forget — and I’d be honored to document it for you.
