Every family’s story is unique, and your session should reflect that. Whether we’re in your home capturing the tenderness of newborn days, outdoors where little ones can explore and play, or in the studio with timeless simplicity, my approach is always the same: gentle, natural, and family focused..

You don’t have to worry about perfect poses or forced smiles — that’s not what I’m after. Instead, I focus on connection, movement, and the little in-between moments that reveal who your family really is. I’ll guide you every step of the way, offering direction when you need it, but also giving space for your children to be themselves. Because often, those are the moments that make the most meaningful photographs.

From wardrobe styling to location planning, I’ll take care of every detail. When your session day arrives, you can relax and simply enjoy being with your family, knowing that what we’re creating together will become part of your family’s legacy.

The Details

I’m here to capture your family in the most natural and meaningful way — with soft, beautiful light and a calm, thoughtful approach. My goal is to create timeless photographs that feel like your family: connected, real, and full of love. These are the quiet moments you’ll want to hold onto  the ones you’ll look back on and treasure, remembering just how this season felt.

I.  Session Planning



From the very beginning, my goal is to make your session simple, calm, and enjoyable. I’ll start by sending a short questionnaire to get to know you, your vision, and any special details you want to include. Together, we’ll plan every detail  from color palettes and wardrobe to locations that suit your home and family and I’ll provide a step-by-step guide so you’ll know exactly what to expect. No need to overthink a thing; I’ll have everything ready so you can focus on enjoying this special time with your family.

 What to expect 

II. Session Day

Newborn sessions take place in the comfort of your home, and I bring everything you need for a calm, cozy experience. Most sessions happen in the morning, while other sessions are held in the early evening at locations of your choice, where little ones can explore and be themselves. I’ll guide you gently throughout, capturing a mix of classic portraits and authentic family moments that show your loved ones relaxed, connected, and full of joy.

III. Special Delivery

Within three weeks of your session, you’ll receive a private, carefully curated digital gallery where you can easily view, download, and save your images. The gallery includes a beautiful mix of color and black-and-white photographs. You’ll also have the option to elevate your experience with custom prints, framing, and heirloom albums — thoughtfully prepared to turn your most meaningful moments into timeless art to treasure and pass down for generations.

''Iris did an amazing job with heirloom photos of our three boys!

MY PAST CLIENTS SAY...

The photos are absolutely beautiful! They are very active, wiggly boys and she captured them so well you wouldn't  even guess. We are so happy and highly recommend Iris!

-The schmidt family

-Catlyn & neil

Iris was exceptional to work with, she was responsive and informative. I told her what I was looking for and sent her a couple of photos that I liked, and she couldn't have done a better job. She captured my family perfectly in our maternity shoot, aside from having two-2-year olds that were interested in anything other than taking pictures. I highly recommend Iris as she has a keen eye for beautiful moments.

Hiring Iris was 100% the best decision we made for our maternity shoot.

-THE WINDELLS

She took her time ensuring that the lighting was great for each area and was specially great keeping our 4-year-old interested in taking pictures so we could get all the shots we wanted. She was super responsive and was able to  get our photos back so quickly! We highly recommend her!

Iris is phenomenal! She took newborn photos for our family and was amazing to work with her.
