maternity & newborn photos that capture

rochester ny photographer serving western new york, the finger lakes, and beyond 

I'm a photographer in Rochester NY known best for my earthy and natural style of photography. My sessions are relaxed, intimate, and rooted in nature. We wander fields and creeks, we chase the sun, and we slow down to take it in.

If you're a down-to-earth human who craves more than just a photo for social media, you want real art made out of real connection, then we might be a perfect fit. I’d love to get to know you and help tell your story in a way that feels beautiful and true.

If you’re ready to step into the frame, heart open, I’m here.

"Our biggest concern was making sure we found someone that would take the time to truly capture what this pregnancy means to us. With everyone else, it felt like a business transaction. With you, it felt like a whole experience and we will forever be grateful for that."

Alyssa & ryan, maternity

"With Britten, it felt like a whole experience and we will be forever grateful for that."

Tahlia, maternity & newborn

"She really took the time to get to know me and my partner. She was so easy to communicate with and just an absolute pleasure. I couldn’t be more happy with how my pictures turned out and I look forward to working with her in the future on any and all photography needs. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Britten"  

"Amazing isn’t even the word to describe my experience with Britten."

"She was a joy to work with throughout the entire process, from our first phone call to the final debrief. We are in love with our photos and with how Britten helped us document this moment. I’m so glad I discovered Britten and we will definitely be working with her again in the future."

Lydia, maternity

"We had such a wonderful experience having our maternity photos done with Britten!"

What is the best time to do maternity photos?

The best time to take maternity photos is between 28-34 weeks. I recommend booking your session 1-2 months out, or earlier if you want to, to give yourself time to plan and prepare! Read more about why: “Best time to take maternity photos”

When do you take newborn photos? 

Typically newborn photo sessions take place within two weeks after your baby is born. You can choose a date ahead of time, but most of my clients just let me know how they’re feeling after birth and we can schedule your session date then. 

Newborn sessions take place in your home or in a local photo studio Mon-Fri in the morning/early afternoons. 

Can I book maternity and newborn photography together? How much does it cost?

Yes, you can book both sessions at once. Almost all of my clients book maternity and newborn photos together. 

My most popular bundle includes two full sessions and a full gallery of fully edited digital photos from each session for $1100. 

Individual sessions start at $700.


This isn't my first baby. Should I still take maternity pictures?

Absolutely, yes! Maternity photography isn't just for your first pregnancy. Documenting your growing family with pictures is important whether it's your first or fifth! 

Do you offer family photography?

Yes I am also a family photographer! I'm available to capture all of your family's milestones, including cake smash sessions!
