Buttons and Bows Photography, LLC • Elite Maternity & Newborn Portraiture • voted Orlando 2009 "Best Family Photographer"

Now exclusively booking maternity & newborn packages starting post-holiday and beyond!

My focus — and my passion — starts with maternity and newborn sessions through your baby's first year. I do not divide my photographic-time with pet, wedding and event photography. Being truly specialized in what I do is reflected in the heirloom portraiture that will grace your family's walls for generations to come. My creativity, attention and devotion remains centered with what I do best.

"Black and white" and color traditional studio-style or natural light sessions in the comfort of your home - I am also available for maternity boudoir or contemporary outdoor and beach sessions on-location at local parks, area attractions, and Atlantic or Gulf beaches.

I currently am booked solid through December 2010. Please use the contact form to inquire about being placed on a waitlist, or the possibility of a fall 2010 mini-session.

For maternity and newborn portrait session events, I advise all clients to book as early in advance of the desired session date(s) as possible. I am typically booked weeks, sometimes months, in advance — especially as the holiday season approaches each year.

I highly recommend contacting me immediately at the end of the first trimester for maternity sessions, and no later than the end of the second trimester for newborn sessions.

It is typically best to photograph a maternity session by week 28-34 of pregnancy, and a newborn session within the baby's first 10-14 days of life. Waiting lists are available, but only a session reservation fee payment will guarantee your reserved date and time. Extra dates are set aside in my calendar for "belly to baby" and "baby's first year" packages.

Check blog's "AVAILABILITY" section for open dates and fill out the CONTACT FORM.

Me on Me - from theknot.com / thebump.com "Bump Contest photographer tips":

"My goal with personalized custom portrait sessions is quite different than the corporate ‘cookie cutter’ approach. I want the client to know how important they are from the moment they open their first communication from me, to the session, on through the day they open their perfectly packaged order...

...Helping a family preserve a smile, a sigh, a yawn, a kiss, or the way their baby looked at a moment in time is honestly the reason I love being a photographer."
