Embrace the Beauty of Parenthood


Lifestyle newborn photography captures the natural and intimate moments between the newborn, parents, and siblings, creating authentic and heartfelt memories. I focus on capturing the genuine interactions and emotions, allowing the true essence of the family to shine through. The newborn days are fleeting, full of questions and bursting with unimaginable love and joy. I am here to talk about details of our session, help with outfit selections if requested and can include day of tips so you feel prepared and relaxed.



Being in the comfort of your own home, I am able to capture the familiar surrounding, personal touches and details which add depth and meaning to your gallery. Your grandmother's pin, a family quilt knit by your mother, a new monogrammed bunny given to you at your baby shower, little treasures that make it special to you and your newborn can be included during this special time.

Testimonials

Mary Carter was amazing to work with! She was super flexible about date and times which was helpful when we didn’t know when baby was going to come. Our oldest doesn’t like getting photos taken and Mary Carter came prepared, bringing toys and spending time making him more comfortable with her before we got started. After a fun morning laughing and taking photos, we got all our beautiful shots back so quickly! We would definitely recommend Mary Carter for your next photo shoot!
