Paintings inspire me. For a long time, I’ve dreamt of offering clients a commissioned painting based on a photograph from our session. I’m delighted to share, this is the year I’ll be making this dream a reality.

One way I felt more settled in the overwhelming transition to becoming a parent was hiring a doula for the birth of my first child.  Knowing that I would have some extra support quieted my concerns of the unknown and gave me a feeling of control. My doula, Nikki Graham of Well Born Baby, was a great strength to me during my fast labor and delivery! Her presence in the room was uplifting and empowering. If you’ve ever wondered about the role of a doula and whether you should consider hiring one, let me share some benefits that might inspire you! I recently chatted with Cali Machen, a ..read more

Nine months can feel like an eternity when you’re expecting a baby, but in the grand scheme of your life it goes by in a flash.  Especially when you already have a little one you’re chasing after.  Because of the way time seems to fly, I love capturing a few maternity images for clients who book a newborn session.  This way the fleeting pregnancy time is documented before it’s done and fast-forward you’re holding your newborn in your arms ..read more

Once we make sure there’s room on my calendar for a newborn session around the time you’re due and go over all the options for enjoying your photographs, the next step is to contact me as soon as your baby is born!  These are my favorite emails to receive.  I then share my availability and we book the session.  There is no right time to photograph your newborn, but during the first two weeks is ideal. From the parents: “Regina photographed our family of four (+2 dogs) in a newborn/family session and achieved the unachievable. We are not natural in front of the camera, our 2 yea ..read more
