Studio Standards
SAFETY & COMFORT
OUR COMMITMENT
Your baby’s safety and comfort always come first.
Your baby’s safety is at the heart of everything we do. With more than twenty years of combined experience, we are trained in professional newborn handling and attentive to the smallest details. Every session is approached with patience and care, moving at your baby’s natural rhythm rather than a rigid schedule. We believe safety is more than a precaution; it is the foundation that allows us to create portraits that are both secure and beautiful. From the way we prepare the studio environment to the gentle way we guide each pose, every decision is made with your baby’s comfort and well-being in mind.
SAFETY PRACTICES
Every pose, every detail, guided by safety.
As parents ourselves, we know how much trust it takes to place your baby in someone else’s care. That trust is never taken lightly. Every aspect of our studio has been thoughtfully designed for comfort and safety, from the quiet, private environment to the carefully prepared accessories and props. Our process is built to give you peace of mind, knowing that your baby is supported at every moment. While we focus on creating portraits with beauty and artistry, we never compromise on the standards that keep your little one secure, comfortable, and cared for.

Here some of my favorite costumes through the years (we LOVE to dress up). What are your tiny people dressing up as for Halloween? 1,) pumpkin heads are heavy and he was fine (and thinks this is funny), 2.) My sister made the porcupine outfit with fur and zip ties, 3.) Cutest delivery men, 4.) Zeke asked to be a shark diver WITH A CAGE and his daddy made it happen, 5.) the children`s book Dragons love Tacos 6.)Ninja Turtles! 7.) Spiderman meme <3
When the clothes work with the location so well *chefs kiss*. 🥳 I came away from this shoot reconsidering my plans for family photos this year (which rarely happens for the Burns crew- Cobbler`s Children Syndrome and all that) but if we do make it work I think we`re doing olive, navy and what we`ll call *muted pumpkin*. 😆
When you`re the mom and now somehow the shortest in the group pictures. Document it all, even when your babies outgrow you. ❤
Caroline the first time I photographed her (at 18 months) and most recently. It`s such a privilege to watch people grow up into the people they`re supposed to be 🥹
Look how cute this tiny photographer is, who documented (with video even), his photoshoot from the other side ;) Not everyone can make a morning shoot looking alert and ready but these guys were up for the task!
