Babies are so happy, from showing off those gummy smiles to their new sitting skills.
They think peek-a-boo is hilarious.
And don't get me started on the wrist, ankle, and thigh rolls.
It all Must be photographed!
The baby photos I deliver are soft, sweet, and timeless pieces of art that you will cherish for a lifetime.

Babies grow and change the fastest during their first year. We are talking rapid growth! I’m here to help capture each milestone, so that nothing is forgotten.
Every baby and family is different, however; I like to recommend after the maternity and newborn photos, a three-month-old session when they’ve put on a little chub (you won’t believe the change between this session and the newborn session!), followed by a Sitter Session at 6-9 months and, of course, that milestone 1-year session.

3-months
At this point, baby will show a clear preference for you, even smiling at you in photos. Those gummy first smiles are gems! They've also put on some chub since their newborn session and are holding their head up when practicing tummy time.
6-9-months
Oh, the happy sitter. I'll admit it. This is my favorite session after the newborn. So independent while sitting on their own, yet not as mobile as that lighting fast 1-year-old. This is also a great session to capture that first tooth and baby's crawling skills.
1-year
Celebrate baby's first birthday with photos! This is a fast-paced session, especially compared to your newborn session, capturing your little one's personality. Baby is standing and walking and has many opinions on what they'd like to be doing!

"Ahhhh I'm in LOVE.
Katie you are incredible! The detail - the twinkle in her eyes, the sweet half smiles and knuckle dimples, cute little emerging baby teeth, rambunctious looks, chubby baby feet and soft leg rolls, the pudgy baby toes, the squishable cheeks and delicate baby hands - and how its all wrapped up to perfection in each photo...I just CANNOT deal with the sweetness.
If you ever need a baby photographer check out Arcadian Photography. Her talent and style are unmatched and I promise there will be ZERO regrets."

Katie's photos NEVER disappoint. Happy baby, sleepy baby, or even a cranky baby, she will get the shot or 20 ; ) that once you see, you won't be able to live without! I'm so thankful I found her and will continue to use her talents frequently.

session fee + digital files
7-10 business days after your session, your photos will be ready to view and order from in an online gallery. It's at this time you will select your favorite images to receive as digital files. They will be fully edited and high resolution. You have full printing rights.
If you’ve ever shopped for art of any kind before, you know prices are all over the map… and that’s certainly true with photography as well. And like with other art, those prices aren’t easily compared - it’s not apples to apples.
My work may not be the cheapest in the area, but it's certainly one of the best values. My unique process ensures you'll get exactly what you want (along with as much - or as little - guidance as you need), and end up with beautiful images to print and enjoy for years to come.
My pricing structure is broken up into two parts.
A session fee is collected at the time of booking and reserves your time and date, access to studio wardrobe, and your online ordering appointment. The session fee is non-refundable. Digital files are sold separately.
for 3-12 month olds
Packages start at
$600 for 25 digital files
+ $200 session fee to book

How Often Should You Have Professional Photos Taken During Baby’s First Year?
The great thing about babies is that the magic doesn’t ever go away. Every month is going to bring a new milestone; a new piece of their personality emerges. But, when is the best time frame for portraits?
