Life moves fast: between prepping for a new baby and managing a toddler, time flies. If you’ve ever thought about filling your home with light and airy, emotion-filled family portraits but felt overwhelmed by planning, you’re not alone. As a mama to two little ones (who are rapidly growing!) I know how important capturing memories is. I also understand how stressful it can feel to plan all of the details yourself. That’s why creating a complete photography experience in my Saratoga Springs studio mattered to me as a photographer. I want you to feel like this experience is easy and effortless creating beautiful portraits that you’ll cherish forever. 

From your first inquiry to the final delivery, I handle every detail: session styling, location, wardrobe, and artwork decisions, so you can just relax and enjoy. We work to create beautiful heirloom artwork that you will enjoy for years to come. No more forgotten files; just portraits that bring you back to this moment, whenever you glance at them. 

The NSP Portrait Experience: Step by Step

First, we’ll have a Portrait Planning Call. On that call, we map out wardrobe, location, and the session flow so it feels easy and graceful. On the day of your session, all you have to do is show up and enjoy your loved ones! I want to capture your real laughter and connections. My goal is to bring out genuine smiles, even from tired parents or fidgety toddlers. With many years of experience as a family photographer, mom, and teacher, I promise, I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve to make everyone feel comfortable! After your session, we’ll meet for your viewing and ordering appointment. From your home or Zoom, you’ll view your images for the first time and choose how to display them (albums, wall art, collections) right then and there. No more worrying about where your files went! Roughly 4-6 weeks after our ordering appointment, your beautiful heirloom artwork will arrive, ready for you to enjoy! 

Beautiful, Thoughtful Details

As part of the NSP Portrait Experience, I’ve worked to eliminate all of the guesswork that typically comes with planning family or newborn portraits. Here’s a few of the highlights: 

Wardrobe & Styling:  I’ve curated a Baby Wardrobe full of soft neutrals, handmade newborn outfits, and toddler-friendly options, and a Mama Wardrobe filled with size-inclusive, camera-flattering dresses, so you don’t have to shop. 

Heirloom Artwork: I offer a select few options for your heirloom artwork. This makes your decision easier! I’ve hand selected each product, so I know the quality is what I’d want in my own home. Each option will last for years and your family can enjoy the portraits we’ve created. From thick, durable albums to custom-designed wall galleries and linen collection boxes, your memories become timeless art for your home. 

Studio Comfort: My light-filled, cozy studio helps busy families feel immediately at ease. With coffee (or chai!), toys for toddlers, and every detail covered, you can truly relax and enjoy these special memories. 

When you have a photographer who values your experience and wants to create a positive, easy flow for sessions, the experience is magical. I truly believe that it’s why families continue to work with me for many years – even some of my families from Boston, where I started, still trust me to capture their memories. I feel so lucky to be a part of their stories year after year.
