"From the moment she walked in, her kind and gentle presence brought a sense of calm to the entire session. She has such a natural way with babies and made us feel completely at ease"

"We had a wonderful experience with Caitlyn as our newborn photographer. From the moment she walked in, her kind and gentle presence brought a sense of calm to the entire session. She has such a natural way with babies and made us feel completely at ease.

Caitlyn’s background as a pediatric physical therapist gave us so much confidence. She handled our baby with the utmost care, always asking for permission before touching him and ensuring he was safe and supported in every position. She was incredibly patient and thoughtful, quietly waiting while we paused for a quick feed and never making us feel rushed.

She listened closely to our ideas and requests for certain rooms and types of shots, and she captured each sweet moment with such care and attention to detail. The photos are absolutely stunning, natural, and timeless. We find ourselves looking at them often in awe of the tiny features she captured and so grateful for the beautiful memories she preserved. We can’t recommend Caitlyn enough.

“I cannot find the words to fully describe how incredible of a photographer Caitlyn is. My husband and I first worked with her for engagement photos, then our wedding photos, our first Christmas photos, 10-year anniversary photos, maternity, and most recently our newborn photos. She has intentionally photographed our family’s most precious moments. I trust her fully. We cannot wait to continue to have Caitlyn around to continue to help capture the joy of our family.”

- Shannon & Sam

“We couldn't be more thrilled with the newborn pictures Caitlyn took for us! From start to finish, she was absolutely fabulous. Her attention to detail, patience, and professionalism made the entire experience so enjoyable. Caitlyn has such a natural ability to capture the most beautiful moments, and the photos are nothing short of stunning. We are beyond happy with how everything turned out. We will definitely be turning to Caitlyn for all of our family photos in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and caring photographer!”

“Caitlyn’s work speaks for itself. She also happens to be amazing with babies & kids, extremely quick on getting photos ready, and very responsive with questions and requests. She couldn’t be sweeter, and she made our sessions so easy and fun. She took newborn photos of our son in our home, and most recently photos of my extended family outside. Perfect time capsules of our family.”

- Samantha & Ryan

“Caitlyn has a magical way of connecting with kids, and it really showed in the photos. The session was relaxed, full of laughter, and full of love. We can't wait to work with her again! The photos turned out even more beautiful than we could have imagined - Caitlyn captured the pure joy and love in our family in a way we'll treasure forever”

- Sierra & Oliver

"I cant say enough about Caitlyn and her photography! She is so sweet, responsive to emails, and amazing with kids. Her incredible photos and quick turn around getting the photos back to you are the cherry on top! She sent us over 200 edited photos in under a week. We loved that she had a studio option so that we didn’t feel like we needed to have a pristine house a week after bringing a new baby home. We are so glad that we found Caitlyn and can’t wait to work with her in the future!” "

- Nicole & Ryan

“We had the very best experience working with Caitlyn for our newborn photos. Her natural, relaxed style of photography led us to book her, and her professionalism and personality will have us returning for years to come!”

how to prepare for your in-home newborn session

"From start to finish, her professionalism, creativity, and genuine warmth made the experience unforgettable."

"I recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Caitlyn for both my maternity and newborn photo sessions, and I cannot recommend her enough! From start to finish, her professionalism, creativity, and genuine warmth made the experience unforgettable.

For the maternity session, she created a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere, making me feel beautiful and confident at every moment (even though it can feel very awkward!). Her eye for detail and ability to capture the glow and anticipation of pregnancy was truly remarkable. She took the time to understand my vision (I had lots of inspo from Pinterest) and incorporated stunning natural light that resulted in breathtaking images I’ll cherish forever.

When it came to the newborn session, she was nothing short of magical. Her patience and gentleness with our little one were heartwarming—she handled every moment with such care, ensuring our baby was comfortable and safe. The setups were adorable yet timeless.

The final galleries for both sessions were beyond our expectations—each image was beautifully edited, with vibrant colors and a soft, dreamy quality that brought out the emotion of the moments. She delivered the photos promptly, and her communication throughout the process was seamless and friendly.

If you’re looking for a photographer who combines talent, professionalism, and a true passion for capturing life’s most precious moments, Caitlyn is the one to choose. Thank you for giving us memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime!
