MEET KAREN, PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER AT REFLECTIONS
I want you to not only remember these days, but be a part of them, too.
As a mom of four kids, there are a lot of milestones that I don't remember. I wish I had more tangible memories and photographs from those busy years as a growing family.
Now, I help moms document their family stories through beautiful maternity, newborn, and baby portraits.

I recommend scheduling your maternity photo session between 28-32 weeks of pregnancy to capture that beautiful baby bump while ensuring you’re still comfortable. For newborn photography sessions, it’s best to book as soon as you enter your second trimester to secure your spot on my calendar. Since newborn sessions are scheduled within the first two weeks after birth, it’s important to plan ahead to ensure availability.

The safety and comfort of your newborn are my top priorities during your photoshoot.
