I know my purpose on this Earth was fulfilled the moment I became a mama.
My goal is to capture life as it is right now, because it truly is fleeting. My own newborn photos are some of my most cherished treasures; my littles are now 9, 7 and 2 and I love reliving these moments. I shoot lifestyle sessions, meaning you just being you. It will be fun, I promise. Think of it as me telling your story.
My sessions are all shot on-location, so you will want to consider what kind of vibe you want your images to portray. We will pick a spot that resonates with you, be it something naturesque, like a metro park; an urban vibe, like downtown Detroit or Birmingham; or my personal favorite: in-home sessions.
As for timing, I focus on a lifestyle aesthetic, so anytime within the first few weeks following birth works well (my typical newborn session is around the two-week mark). This is also about the time that the new parents feel like they somewhat have the hang of things, but technically, "newborn" is any time between birth and three months old.
I recommend that you schedule your maternity session between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. This tends to be the sweet spot where you are big enough that you are showing, but not so big that you feel uncomfortable. I want you to look and feel as amazing as everyone else already thinks you are.
The reason for everything. Whether you have littles, tweens, big kids, or furry ones, this is what it's all about. We can shoot in a field for a natural vibe, in the city for a taste of urban, or my favorite place: in your home where we can showcase your everyday life. Allow me to preserve these moments in time.
Time to update that boring corporate picture with the blue or gray background. Or maybe the one with you and some friends with the other persons cropped out.
Make yourself stand out. For Linked-In, for Tinder, whatever. Let's showcase you.
This is your time. Let's showcase who you are as you close out this exciting chapter.
Pick up to three outfits and let's head out for a fun, low-pressure session!
I love love. You just met. You've been together forever. You're engaged. You're celebrating your anniversary.
Milestones or just because.
It all deserves to be celebrated + documented.
Below are four real recent portrait sessions so you can get a true idea of what a typical KGP gallery looks like.
Parks and beaches allow us to slow down a bit, snuggle on some blankets, meander around and take it easy.
All that matters to me during our session is that I make you feel comfortable enough to showcase who you really are.
Venturing out into the city.
Lights. Excitement. Lots of color.
Dress up. Dress casual. A little of both. Urban vibes give lots of options!
Lots of snuggles.
Close ups. Real life.
All the baby details you never want to forget from these fleeting moments.
