Is Vanessa the Right Fit?
You're in the right place if...
You want real, not posed
You're not looking for stiff smiles. You want images that actually look and feel like your family — messy, loud, and beautifully real.
You want zero surprises
Transparent pricing, everything included, no hidden fees. You know exactly what you're getting before you book.
You want to be guided
You don't know how to pose — and that's perfectly okay. I'll make it effortless so you can just be present with your family.
Probably not the right fit if you're looking for strictly posed, traditional studio portraits or a quick shoot-and-burn experience. And that's perfectly okay — I want every client to feel like a perfect match.

"I know what it feels like to hire a photographer, sit through the session, and then be told you can only keep a handful of images. That feeling stayed with me — and it's exactly why every session I offer is all-inclusive. Because every moment we capture together deserves to be yours."

Petite Session · Hospital or Birthing Center
Fresh 48
Scheduled before your due date — photographed within 48 hours of birth
No posing, no props. Just the honest reality of those first snuggles — tiny hospital bracelets, first meetings with siblings, the quiet wonder of arrival. Included free in the Motherhood Journey, or available on its own.

Quick Answers
Before you have to ask.
How far in advance should I book?
Maternity: Reach out by 28 weeks, session at 32–34 weeks. Newborn: Book during your second trimester — I hold your date and confirm once baby arrives. Family: 4–6 weeks out, especially in fall when the calendar fills fast.
Do I really get every single image?
Yes — every artfully edited image, in color and B&W. No "pick your favorites," no stressful sales calls. Only the best, fully edited images make it in — and you get all of them.
Is there a retainer required?
Yes — a non-refundable retainer is required to secure your date. It reserves your time on my calendar. The remaining balance is due before or on session day.
