Baby M and Marbel came in for a motherhood session. That connection between mom and baby is extremely special especially when they are still so little. At this session we do normal portraits, feeding photos ( optional), candids of interacting with your little one, etc. These are a great opportunity to freeze that baby stage that we all love so much. We also took the opportunity during this session to capture Meshach’s 6 month milestone pictures. Sitter ( 6-9 month) sessions are my favorite. This age is so smiley!!
motherhood session with her little guy
Sitter sessions are done when baby can sit up unassisted. ( 6-9 months). This allows me to do a variety of different poses to captures baby and the milestone they are reaching! The chubby thighs and cheeks are always a plus! It’s so crazy how fast these little babies change. They barely look like how they did at their newborn session. It’s fun to see their personalities develop and those first big smiles and giggles. At the 3 month session we focus on capturing the holding their head up milestone. My baby 1 year plan includes maternity, newborn, 3. month, 6 month, 1 year/cake smash. Each one of these sessions in designed to capture baby’s milestone at each month so we won’t schedule until they are ready.

This sweet momma is Megan. She reached out to me a few months ago wanting some pictures to capture motherhood with her girls. She felt her youngest was just slipping away and loosing her babyness by the day. Megan ( and I) are obsessed with Avery’’s red hair and rolls so I really wanted to get all the details for her. I’ve been working with this sweet family since her oldest daughter was one. They came in for their cake smash and since then have come to all my Fall sessions. Her youngest turned one a few months after this session, so I got to see them again for that one!

I love getting a few traditional l smiling at the camera portraits as well as a good variety of candids for you to treasure.

belly to baby Session
"If you are looking for a newborn photographer, I highly recommend Jaclyn. Baby whisperer at its finest and even better, toddler approved! The way she was able to capture our newborn AND our sassy little 18-month-old was truly incredible. Certainly a memory I will never forget. She went with the girl's flow and their own pace and made everyone feel right at home. She’s professional and her work is beyond incredible! We were so amazed and in awe of our gallery from our shoot that day. Thank you Jaclyn for capturing these moments that will last a lifetime. This experience was merely perfect and we cannot wait to schedule more appointments! We are forever grateful that found Jaclyn!"
newborn session
It is easy to see that Jaclyn is an amazing photographer. All you have to do is look at the photos she has taken and you can see that. What the photos don’t show you, however, is her amazing personality. She is very welcoming and is a magical baby whisperer. She had our little girl happy and comfortable for two hours during the shoot. Not only is she great with babies, but she was patient and so sweet to our six year old. She let him help pick out headbands, asked his opinion about poses, and answered all 5,000 questions he had with a smile on her face. She made us feel comfortable and accommodated all picture requests we had. Her home studio felt welcoming and she made us all really comfortable.
newborn session
We had our newborn session with Jaclyn and couldn’t be more impressed! She was so well prepared, taking time to ensure that all the different set ups were complimentary and unique to our little guys skin tone, baby room, theme, etc. She is incredibly sweet and patient, even with a fussy lil guy that was much more interested in watching her than sleeping. She was genuinely kind and reassuring, supportive of nursing him or giving him a break whenever he needed it. Not to mention she’s such an easy going person. I loved being able to chat with her throughout the session.
You can tell she’s passionate about her work as she takes time to work out all the details of her props, set ups, poses, etc. we enjoyed this session and we can’t wait to work with her again!
newborn session
I have been with Jaclyn since December of 2017 and only wish that I had been with her longer. She is one of the most amazing, talented, kindest, and patient professional/friend that you will come across. She is responsive to any questions you have and has the best checklist before coming. Then she provides everything that you could need (hair, makeup, outfits) and tailors your session to make it unique. Babies have a mind of their own so sessions won’t always go how you think they will but she is so accommodating to feeding, snack breaks or just a break in general to recoup. She makes sure that you love your pictures and has a way to make you feel beautiful inside and out! Any service that Jaclyn provides, I guarantee that you will not regret it and you will be so glad that you did.
1 year baby plan
Jaclyn did an incredible job capturing our newborn photos. She went above and beyond. As newborns go, our 2 hour session became a 4 hour one when our son didn’t want to cooperate. She was patient and kind and did what it took to capture a beautiful moment for us. HIGHLY recommend!
newborn and 1 year session
Jaclyn is like the baby whisperer! She took so much time during our newborn session to make sure we got all the shots we wanted. It was relaxed and comfortable during the session. She has an extensive array of backdrops, wraps, props, and newborn outfits. She handles all my annoying questions with grace. I am so happy with the final results! Highly recommend!
Belly to baby
Jaclyn was calm, cool, and collected when we arrived with our very disgruntled one-year old! We were panicked that we wouldn't get any good photos and it couldn't have been more opposite. Jaclyn was so patient with our sweet girl (and us!) and I actually LOVED the shots she got in the beginning when she was still teary and timid. Then it was fun and chaos with the cake smash and bath session! Jaclyn had great ideas and captured our girl so well. THANK YOU!
1 year session
Where to start? Jaclyn is awesome. We came to her for newborn photos. Super professional. Entered her studio and it shows she’s prepared for new born photos, with a warm studio comforting for a naked newborn. She is super patient and very attentive to detail. We were amazed by the photos we received. I would recommend her to anyone looking for newborn photos. Unfortunately for her, our son gave her a good spray of his pee and she was so graceful about it and wasn’t even phased.
