Session Information & Investment Guide
Amarillo Maternity, Newborn, and Family Photography
Capturing honest connection and the beauty of your motherhood story. Preserving the raw, in-between moments of motherhood with a full-service, stress-free experience, by photographing in-between moments of motherhood in Amarillo, Canyon, and the Texas Panhandle.
I offer a simple, all-inclusive process, and my number one priority is making sure you walk away with incredible photos and an experience that felt easy from start to finish.
Maternity, Newborn & Family
I’m Vanessa, an Amarillo motherhood photographer, maternity, newborn, and family photographer. I believe your story deserves to live somewhere more meaningful than a smartphone screen. Whether we are chasing the golden light in Palo Duro Canyon or capturing the quiet wonder of your lifestyle newborn session at home, my goal is to make the process effortless.
I specialize in a stress-free experience for busy moms who value their memories but don't have the time to design their own photo books. That’s why my signature collections include custom-designed keepsake albums, ensuring your family's legacy is preserved from day one.
What to expect
Calm and guidance from beginning to end
My goal is simple. I capture those real, raw, and beautiful moments while making the whole process feel effortless. From your growing bump, your snuggly newborn, or anything in between, I’m here to ensure you feel comfortable, confident, and entirely yourself.

Once you approve the layout, your physical heirloom is ordered and shipped directly to your door. Your memories deserve a home on your coffee table, not just your hard drive.

No need to pack up the diaper bag. I come to you, capturing your baby in the nursery and the quiet snuggles on your own sofa.
