Those fingers and toes won't be small forever. That sweet, newborn smell drifts away too fast. Let's bottle up those moments so you can keep them forever

Because they won’t stay little forever…

Brenna Heater does it all. She has captured our family (for four years now!) in an honest, beautiful, candid and creative way. We’re been so thrilled with every session!

It’s unique to find a photographer silly enough to make your kids laugh, skilled enough to never miss a moment and generous enough to pour her heart into every session.

- Leeann D.

We will treasure the experience and images forever and are looking forward to her capturing more of our family’s milestones in the future (I never thought I’d look forward to more pictures!)

Brenna was so personable, helpful, energetic yet relaxed, even our skittish puppy loved her and was featured in many of the photos because she's part of the family too! 

- Kinsley G.

I was like we knew her our whole lives. Thank you for making us feel so comfortable and for capturing a time in our lives we never want to forget.

After two long years of waiting for those pink lines, Brenna shared in our joy of becoming parents after we shared our story with her.

- Ashley M.

Not to mention that her Client Closet is genius! Choosing dresses from her dresses saves so much time and money. We tell everyone about her and can’t wait to use her again for future family pictures!

Brenna is amazing! She is so professional but also makes you feel like you are longtime friends.

- Kathleen F.

My maternity and newborn sessions aren't just for the photos. They're for the experience. I want to help you every step of the way, from choosing the perfect location and wardrobe, to designing heirloom products that your family will cherish for decades and centuries to come. I'd also love to create a video highlight film for you so can relive these moments again and again.

This news is sure to bring tears to your loved ones' eyes. Maybe it's the first grandbaby. Or maybe it's the tenth! No matter where this little one falls within your family tree, this life is precious is treasured.

I’m Brenna and I want nothing more than to pamper you and treat you like the remarkable woman you are. You do so much for so many. Now it's time to celebrate this incredibly special time in your life. You're having a baby! I'd be honored to be a small part of your journey into motherhood.

Hi, gorgeous!

Session Films

Video is the perfect opportunity to help you relive these memories again and again. As your little ones grow up, your session film will help bring you back to this moment and wonder how they were ever so small.

Time is fleeting. Let’s capture these memories before it’s too late.

Don't let your images get buried or forgotten on your computer. Let me design a custom heirloom album for you! Most of my clients display their albums as coffee table books. Visitors love flipping through them, as do the babies when they get older.

When should I reach out to book my sessions?

As soon as you find out you’re expecting! That may sound extreme, but because I only take a very small number of babies each month by due date, I’ll often be fully booked 4-6 months in advance. When you reach out to me early, I’ll add you to my waitlist and you’ll get priority access to book once you reach the second trimester.

When should I reach out to book my sessions?

Around 28 weeks is best. We can definitely chat about your situation and what may be the best time for you, though! First baby? Fourth baby? Expecting twins or triplets? These can all affect the perfect timing for your maternity session. For your safety, I do not schedule maternity sessions after your 33rd week of pregnancy.

When should I reach out to book my sessions?

Days 7-10 are ideal. This is when you’ve had time to heal from birth, and your milk has come in so your baby can eat more and sleep longer stretches. At this age, the baby is also more flexible for those adorable posed images and still has his/her newborn peach fuzz, which is oh so cute!

When should I reach out to book my sessions?

It never hurts to ask! I book clients based on the mama's due date and will oftentimes book several months in advance. Sometimes I will have last-minute openings, but I always suggest securing your session several months before your estimated due date.

While you’re spending time preparing for the baby’s arrival, make sure you’re also carving time for remembering the first few days.

Most clients choose to invest between $1200 - $1800 per session to document and preserve their family's most treasured moments.

It’s about the feeling you’ll get every time you look at your newborn’s images. You’ll remember the tiny toes, long eyelashes, pouting lips, and wonder how he or she could’ve ever been so small.

 Yes, you want a portrait experience that’s not just enjoyable but also memorable and personal. You want a photographer whose style speaks to you, but, more importantly, understands how to turn moments into memories and make them last forever. 

*Hint: I can do that for you ;-)

It’s not just about the pictures. Hear me out..
