The #rLNEWBORN
Experience
My experience as mother of three, postpartum and birth doula, I know all too well how birth and the first weeks and months with your new baby can be a time of transformation and chaos. The time you have with your new baby is precious and filled with learning about this new person you created while adjusting to the many changes you're experiencing within yourself!
Having a newborn photo session in your home allows me to meet you where you are at, sensitive to the bubble of security and comfort that you are creating in the postpartum phase. With a blend of authenticity and artistry, I create a serene and relaxed atmosphere where you and your baby can feel comfortable and cherished. From the tiny fingers to the fleeting smiles, the nursing breaks and poopy diapers, every moment is captured with a deep understanding of the love and emotions that fill this special time.
Holding your new baby for the first time...you feel their weight and warmth, smell their fresh sweetness, and look into their beautiful eyes.
You'll want to remember this feeling forever

Includes a relaxed newborn portrait session that blends a traditional and documentary style photography experience so you can look back on the images and remember what this time FEELS like. I don’t use any fancy props or do unnatural poses with your baby, which means you’ll be able to fully relax and be present with your baby and family.
Everything I do is simple and straight forward so you can stress less and save your valuable time and energy.

Riv was such an asset to my birth team. She was so helpful during my labor and captured all of the powerful moments.
My favorite photos she captured though, were the newborn and lifestyle photos about 2 weeks after my daughter was born. I treasure all of the precious closeups of my little newborn.
The details of the moments I will never get back in real life, but now have the photos to relish in that fleeting time forever. So grateful to RL and her sweetness. 100% recommend to anyone looking for a newborn photographer!

We had an amazing newborn session with Rivkah! We have three older girls and our newborn so I was expecting for the worst, but Rivkah did such an amazing job keeping the atmosphere very fun and relaxed! When she left I kept telling my husband what a great experience that was! AND our photos were everything! So grateful for Rivkah and these photos!

Common FAQs
Q: So, it's all inclusive, which means I get all the digitals, right?
A: That's exactly right! Your session includes all of the absolute best images from your session, totally between 50-60 High Res images, edited in my signature style, in both color & b+w. I want you to have the WHOLE story of your family's love, personality and time together without having to only choose your favorites. You can then choose from the gallery, which ones you want to have printed as gifts, for your wall or you can even purchase a beautiful photo album that I will design for you!
Q: What kind of equipment do you use?
A: This might start getting a bit technical, but I personally use a Nikon Z6ii with prime lenses. I bring some creative tools with me as well as a couple different lenses, extra memory cards and batteries so no moment gets missed.
Q: Do you offer any albums, prints, canvases, etc?
A: Totally! But I want you feeling 1,000% comfortable and excited about the quality of your photographs before placing orders on those. That way, you only order exactly what you want, when you want, and when you know with confidence that they are going to look amazing on your walls and in your fine art heirloom albums. And all of this is done & ordered right through your online gallery!
Q: Do you offer payment plans?
A: Yes, I do! Traditional payments are 50% due at the time of booking (within a week) and the final 50% is due within a week prior to your session day. But, if you wanted to do the payment plan, I can stretch it into equal 1/3's if that works best for you. Just let me know what you prefer, and I will make it happen. It's that easy.
Q: what happens if the weather forecast isn't great?
We will discuss it and make a plan together. The weather here in Arizona is usually pretty stable but during certain seasons it can be unpredictable so I don't like to make a final decision until the night before or even the day of. I am happy to reschedule if it looks like rain but if your family is up for stomping in puddles and clear umbrellas, then so am I!
Q: How do I book you for the portrait session?
A: Love that question the most! To book me to document your family's story and love, simply reach out via my Contact Form and let me know your contact information, a little bit about your family and when you're thinking of doing your session and we'll get the party started!
