Kira was wonderful to work with. I found her and wanted her to do our newborn photos and wasn’t sure if I should do maternity photos as well but eventually decided to because I hadn’t with my other two kids. I am so glad I did! Kira and her assistant made me feel so beautiful and so good, I really underestimated how great that would be, especially in the third trimester of my pregnancy. I am so glad I chose Kira and absolutely love my photos!

Absolutely loved working with Kira! If I’m being honest, I’ve always hated picture day. Stressing over every little detail… Will my kids behave? Is the baby going to have a full-blown meltdown?
But the moment we walked into her studio, she took on all the stress so I didn’t have to. She immediately showed us around, gave us a sneak peek of the setups, grabbed my newborn and said, “Alright, relax.. we’ll see you soon!” And just like that, I could actually breathe.
The setups were more than I could have expected or even dreamed up myself. They were exactly what I was hoping for and then some! Not to mention, the patience she has for these fussy, wide awake, little poop machines is unmatched. Truly incredible.
After seeing the proofs, I’m completely blown away that she captured so many amazing shots. I honestly have no idea how I’m going to choose!
We will absolutely be working with her again in the future!

If you’re looking for newborn photographers, Kira is truly the best! She is so incredibly talented and the sweetest to work with. She’s extremely detail oriented and creates the cutest setups for your baby! I’m absolutely in love with every single picture she took of my sweet girl, they came out even better than I expected. So thankful to have found Kira, I couldn’t recommend her enough!

3rd time work with Kira and Amanda. Both of them always create timeless images and memories that we love and continue to look at over the months/years. We are so grateful to have such unique images to share with our daughters as they get bigger.
