Our Services

  • maternity

    These maternity sessions are held in studio or at the outdoor location of your choice. We recommend photographing your session between 28-34 weeks pregnant.

    There is limited availability as we book only a handful per month to ensure our clients have a full service experience.

  • newborn

    These sessions are held in our beautiful natural lit studio when your little one is 7-15 days old.

    Capturing the connection between baby and parents creates the timeless and authentic images we are known for. Each session is unique as your newborn and led by your little one.

  • milestones

    We capture the personality and details of your little one as they grow in that first year. From their gummy smiles and kissable cheeks, to sitting up, crawling and walking.

    The first year flies by faster than you know it, let us capture it so you don’t miss a moment.

  • "The second you book your session with Ambre, you are completely taken care of; she thinks of everything!"

    '“She has wardrobe, makeup and hair ready for you when you arrive. As a sleep deprived mom this was so helpful.” Daniela, Baby’s First Year 2024-2025

  • "The experience we had with Ambre through the first year of our baby’s life was incredible."

    “She provided a calming, stress free process that results in beautiful photos of our family and our littles. From easy booking to personalized review sessions to the wardrobe/makeup service it was more than I could ask for.”
    Alexis, Baby’s First Year Collective, 2023-2024

  • "Completely effortless. Ambre has made our house a HOME!"

    “We have the most beautiful wall galleries of the photos she has taken of our family and I couldn't have imagined them any more amazing. As a mom, it is so important for me to have photos throughout the years of our littles growing up so that we can show them when they are older and pass them on to future generations.”
    Jacqueline, Baby’s First Year Collective 2023 & 2025

  • "Artwork impacted my family and home more than I ever expected. Your touches as a small business are impeccable."

our PROCESS

  • Upon receiving your email, we schedule a consultation call with you so we can personally connect and serve you with a great experience. We will discuss your vision, details and would love to create beautiful artwork for you.

  • We have you come in the studio for a wardrobe try-on and help coordinate with clothing options for children and dad. We’ll discuss and plan the location. Next, review a session guide with tips for a smooth session, so it’s one less thing for you to stress about.

  • We get together in the studio to review your images for the first time on a slideshow. With our interior design expertise we help design something beautifully made just for your family, that you will be amazed how you’ve lived without these memories in your home.

  • In just a few weeks we come to your home to deliver or install your artwork so you have one less thing checked off your to-do list. That’s not it! Most families have annual photos that expand their walls as the family grows and we are happy to plan a design accordingly over the years.
