MATERNITY & NEWBORN

A quiet moment where everything is already shifting internally, even when life still looks mostly the same on the outside. Where love is already deeply growing for someone you have not met yet. And your body carries both eagerness and calm strength in ways that are often hard to put into words.

Before their tiny fingers ever wrap around yours, before you ever meet them face to face, there is this season. Where everything is already shifting, even when life still looks mostly the same on the outside. There is something powerful about this stage of motherhood. The softness and the strength exist at the same time. The subtle certainty that builds as you begin to meet a side of yourself you haven’t known before, even while still fully being you. And then they arrive.

The exact hands that once rested over your growing belly are now holding them close. The soft chaos of the first days. The way time feels different in the beginning, measured in feedings, pauses, small breaths, and the instinctive way you learn each other. This is exactly what I want to document for you to relive forever.

Wind through your hair? Perfect. Sandy feet? Even better.

MATERNITY & NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY IN APPLETON, WI.

A little less pressure. A little more presence.

My approach is simple. I hold space for this entire chapter with thoughtfulness and purpose, whether we are documenting the waiting or the first days of meeting. No pressure to perform, no expectation to be anything other than exactly where you are, and that can look like so many things for so many people. Maybe you just need a moment to yourself, or you just want a moment to take it in. I know this season is full of ups and downs, raw emotions, joy, and exhaustion. You don’t need to come polished or feel like you're winning motherhood. You’re welcome here, confused, exhausted, and maybe even not quite sure who the new you is yet. These maternity and newborn photography sessions are just the present, gently observed and preserved.

It’s pretty impressive, the way you soften into motherhood while still finding who this new you is, that’s why these sessions are all about holding space.

There is something powerful about this stage of motherhood. 

Every Session Includes:

Relaxed Guided Experience

Personalized Planning

Session Guides

Styling

My sessions are relaxed and intentional, creating a comfortable space where you can simply be yourself and soak up the moment. I provide gentle direction and natural prompts that encourage genuine connection and confidence.

You'll receive a personalized questionnaire to help me understand your vision, thoughtful location planning, and timeline guidance, ensuring every detail is planned around the most beautiful lighting.

Every session includes my Photography Prep Guide, Styling Guide, and Location Guide, filled with oodles of information from outfit inspiration and planning tips to location ideas and what to expect on session day, so you can feel confident before you ever step in front of my camera.

I offer personalized outfit styling advice and access to my online styling service to help you select looks that fit the vibe of your session. Together, we'll create a cohesive, timeless look that enhances your photos and helps you feel your best.

Katie did an amazing job for our maternity and newborn photos! She made everything comfortable and captured the special time in our lives beautifully. Highly recommend her!

You'll get access to my session prep guide, Style & Select guide, and exclusive location guide, all put together by yours truly to help you feel confident and excited leading up to your session. Browse through the locations, pick your favorite (or let me surprise you!), and a couple weeks before your session I'll send over a questionnaire so I can get to know you and all the finer details, your story, and exactly what you're envisioning.

Because the best part of photography isn't just taking the photos... It's getting to come back to them for years to come.

Hey, I’m Katie – I'm a proud wife, dog & cat mom, dreamer, and adventure seeker.  I'm happy to answer any and all questions you might have. 

Yes, I absolutely love to travel for sessions and exploring new locations is one of my favorite parts of my job! Travel within 60 miles roundtrip from Greenville, WI is included in your session. For anything beyond that, mileage is charged at the standard rate of 0.72 cents per mile. If you’re dreaming of something further away or a destination session, I’m 100000% down to make it happen, just reach out and we can chat through the details and create a custom quote!

I don’t cap the number of images you’ll receive from your session. I shoot in a very movement-based, natural way, so there are usually a lot of genuine moments that end up in your final gallery. If it’s a good photo, you’re getting it. I always guarantee a minimum number of images, but more often than not, you’ll receive well beyond that. If you’ve booked a highlights gallery, you’ll still receive your full gallery with watermarked images so you can see everything from your session. From there, you’ll be able to select your included amount of favorites for download, and if you fall in love with more (which usually happens), you can always purchase additional images or upgrade to the full gallery.

I guarantee your final gallery will be delivered within 1 month during busy season (summer to fall), but I always do my best to finish even sooner. If I ever need a little extra time for any reason, I’ll absolutely keep you in the loop. I also try to send a few sneak peeks within 72 hours of your session so you get something to hold you over while I finish up your gallery! Once your gallery is delivered, ordering is super easy and completely self-served through your online gallery! You’ll have access to a built-in shop where you can select your favorite images and order high-quality prints, frames, albums and other products directly from there! Everything is designed to feel easy and intuitive, so you don't need to go through me for ordering. Though, if you’d like guidance on what to print or creating the perfect keepsake, I’m always happy to help!

Frequently Asked Questions

Wisconsin weather can be unpredictable but don't panic if things don’t look perfect the day of your session. If the weather just isn’t cooperating, we can always reschedule to a better day at no extra cost. If it’s just light rain and you’re comfortable moving forward, I have clear umbrellas we can use so we can lean into it a little! Some of my favorite sessions have come from those moody weather days where the client totally leaned into what the day gave us. Otherwise, we can also move your session indoors to a studio for an additional fee if rescheduling doesn’t make sense for you. Either way, I always make sure we have a plan in place.

My outdoor sessions typically begin 1 to 2 hours before sunset, depending on the location, weather, and your session length. The dreamy, golden light you see throughout my portfolio is one of the biggest reasons why! The couple of hours leading up to sunset creates soft, even light that’s incredibly flattering and gives your photos that warm, timeless feel. I can absolutely be flexible when needed and move your session up as I do love playing with full sun lighting, but I generally try to avoid the middle hours of the day when the sun is high overhead. Sunrise sessions are also an option for those super early risers (just make sure you bring me Starbucks... jk, kind of!). Studio sessions are held during daylight hours so we can make the most of all that beautiful natural light indoors.
