what is the becomer?
A Maternity & newborn collection
The Becomer is a documentary-style maternity and newborn collection that prioritizes your story over the "perfect picture". This collection follows your journey through two distinct chapters: the final days of pregnancy and the early days of welcoming new life.
From the slow, expectant energy of your maternity session to the beautiful, unscripted chaos of bringing your newborn home, we skip the props and the posing. Instead, we focus on the raw, unfiltered connection of your family in motion. It’s a celebration of the person you were, the baby you’ve carried, and the family you are becoming.
who is the becomer for?
the families who value authenticity over perfection.
This is for the parents who want to remember the way the house felt while they waited—the quiet anticipation, the laundry piled on the couch, and the way the light hit the nursery before it was lived in. It’s for the family that finds more beauty in a messy, postpartum cuddle than a studio portrait.
If you care more about capturing the way your toddler touched your belly or the exhausted, joyful glance shared between partners than you do about everyone looking at the camera, you are in the right place.

what are the next steps?
1.let's chat!
We will schedule your Maternity Session between 28-35 weeks. This depends on your belly size & comfort level. Since babies come whenever they want to, we will set a tentative date for your Newborn session. Typically, we will try to do newborn sessions around 2 weeks to 1 month old. I will block off time around your due date to ensure availability. We will be in touch about when baby is born and get it officially scheduled!
2.complete your booking
I will send over all the details to complete your booking, which includes:
- your contract
- an in-depth questionnaire that helps me get to know your family a little more!
In order to officially book your session, all of the above are due.
3.Plan your session
As your session gets closer, we will schedule a meet-up or call to start planning your session! We will go over your questionnaire and decide together what will work best to tell your family's unique story - whether that is at home, or on an adventure.
4.Session time
Because we are documenting a story of transition, we will meet twice: once during your final weeks of pregnancy and again after baby is born.
Both sessions are completely documentary. You don't need to worry about a messy house, a fussy newborn, or a restless toddler. My camera is there for the real stuff—the way you rest your hands on your bump and the way you navigate the beautiful, unscripted chaos of your new normal.
