Nothing to overthink.
Nothing to perform.

Your house doesn't need to be spotless and baby doesn't need to sleep on cue. We follow their lead. Feed, snuggle, change, repeat. Some clients call me the baby whisperer. Reluctant husbands tend to relax too.

From Austin families

"Our baby refused to sleep for most of the session, but Alissa worked her magic and still captured the most beautiful, natural photos that we will treasure forever."

Lisha F.

"Oh my word. I am speechless... you captured the joy and infatuation..."

Kayla S.

"She was friendly, professional, had a great vision, was patient with our newborn. We got such a wide variety of shots throughout our home and with several family members. I will cherish these photos for a lifetime!"

Annie S.

Questions parents ask

When should I book?

During pregnancy is best. Send me your due date and I'll hold a spot for you, then we set the exact date once baby arrives.

How old should baby be?

There's no hard window. Posed studio newborns need a deeply sleepy baby, but I'm photographing your family at home, so we can go whenever feels right. The first few weeks are the sleepiest, all curled up with tiny fists. After that, they start to wake up a little, with eye contact and real connection. Both are beautiful.

More than the age, what matters most to me is that you feel settled. When you're okay, the whole session feels calm and good. Six weeks in and worried you missed it? You didn't. Reach out.

Why in-home?

Because this season is happening at home. The nursery you set up, the couch where you do the 3am feeds, the dog who won't leave baby's side. Those are the details you'll want to remember. And you don't have to go anywhere.

What is a Fresh 48?

A short, gentle session at the hospital or birth center in the first hours after birth. Tiny fingers, first meetings, and all the new-parent wonder.

Can siblings and pets be in photos?

Yes, please. Big brothers, big sisters, and the dog who has already decided the baby is his. They're part of this season, so they belong in the photos. I bring siblings in first while their patience is still fresh, then let them go play while we slow down with baby.

What if my house isn't tidy?

Almost every mom apologizes for her house, and then I spend the session admiring her window light. I only need a room or two with good natural light. Everything else can get tossed in a closet. I won't open it, promise.

What if baby is fussy?

That's part of it. We take breaks to feed and snuggle whenever baby needs, and there's never a rush. After 14 years of newborns, a fussy baby doesn't worry me one bit. Some of my favorite images come from the wiggly, wide-awake moments.
