Investment
& Artwork

Newborn photography is both an experience and an investment.

I work with families who value calm, safety, and custom artwork created with intention. Rather than offering high-volume sessions or all-inclusive digitals, I focus on a guided, baby-led experience with printed artwork at the heart of the process.

This approach allows me to work slowly, prioritize your baby’s comfort, and create images meant to live in your home for years to come.

I believe in doing this work slowly and intentionally — for babies, for families, and for the art itself.

The Session Experience

The newborn session experience is $395.

This fee includes:

  • planning and preparation
  • a calm, baby-led studio session
  • professional guidance throughout the process
  • access to my curated artwork collection


The session fee reserves your photographer’s time and talent; artwork is purchased separately.

Artwork Investment

From the very beginning, sessions are designed with printed artwork in mind.

Most families invest between $2,500 and $5,000 in finished pieces, including custom wall art, albums, and heirloom products designed to be enjoyed daily — not stored on a hard drive.

Digital files are also available for purchase, and many families choose a combination of printed artwork and select digital images that feel meaningful to them.

I guide you through selecting artwork that fits your space, your style, and the story you want to tell.

Why Artwork Is Central

I believe photographs hold their greatest value when they are seen and lived with.

Rather than delivering a large volume of images, I help families choose a small number of meaningful pieces — artwork that becomes part of your home and, over time, part of your family history.

As a courtesy, finished wall art includes the corresponding digital image for personal archiving and sharing. Additional digital images are available for purchase.

This approach allows for higher quality, deeper intention, and a more personal experience from start to finish.

Availability

I offer one newborn invitation per month.

This limited availability is intentional and allows me to remain fully present for each family I work with — while also honoring my own family life.

If this experience feels aligned, I invite you to reach out to learn more about current availability.

Is This the Right Fit?

This experience is best suited for families who:

  • value calm, baby-led sessions
  • appreciate guidance and personalization
    want finished artwork for their home
  • are comfortable investing in custom photography


If you’re looking for a quick session or a large quantity of digitals, this may not be the right fit — and that’s okay. I want every family I work with to feel genuinely comfortable and excited about the experience.

Heirloom Albums

Albums containing several images are especially popular. Your favorite images from the session, beautifully displayed on archival quality pages.

An heirloom album is a piece of artwork that can be happily displayed on your coffee table and shared with your loved ones. Adults and children both enjoy looking through the pages of your family’s story. Truly a piece you can pass on for generations.

All printed albums are custom designed by Jenn and include your choice of images from a single session.

A La Carte Digital Files

Digital Files are artwork as well. They are high resolution jpeg images with rights to print up to 16×24 inches. All collections available for purchase include a number of digital images for you to choose.

    “As a child, I often had a camera in my hand. My mom, my grandmother, and my great-grandmother all enjoyed taking photographs of the world around them. Many of those photos were passed on to me and I was able to unfold a whole story of my ancestor's lives back to the 1800s. That's what I love most about this career - preserving memories for lifetimes.”
