your journey through motherhood deserves to be documented
I want your photos to serve as a beautiful reminder of how tiny your newborn felt in your arms, the tiny toddler arms that wrapped around your neck and the child who still puts their hand in yours. And I know you're usually the one behind the camera in your family, rarely in front of it, so let's take an hour to laugh, play, and snuggle, then turn your cherished memories into heirloom artwork that you'll enjoy for many years to come.
As a busy mother, your time is precious and I know you want to make the most of every moment, age, and stage with your family. Investing in your family or newborn photography experience is a wonderful way to create lasting keepsakes for your family.
Elizabeth Pachniak Photography is a full-service photography experience that strives to take as much of the planning off your plate as possible. All you have to do is show up for your session and narrow down your favorite images and I take it from there.
Here's what you can expect...
The day you've been waiting for! Approximately 10 weeks after placing your artwork order, I will personally deliver your beautiful artwork to your door.

Your final images will be presented in a beautiful online gallery so you can enjoy viewing them in the comfort of your home. This is a time for you to sit back and enjoy your images and then decide how you would best like to display them in your home, whether it be a stunning album for your coffee table or a gorgeous gallery wall to walk by everyday. We can do your Image Reveal & Artwork Order together at your home or virtually. I’ll prepare design options so you can see exactly what your artwork could look like in your home. Digital images and/or printed artwork will be ordered and paid for at this time.

We will meet during Golden Hour (the hour before sunset) for outdoor sessions, or mid-morning for indoor sessions. Just show up as you are, ready to love on your family, and I'll take it from there. My style is a little bit posed, but mostly fun and laid back. I like to get a few shots of everyone smiling at the camera, but ultimately my goal is to create meaningful images that tell the story of your family.

I know how stressful planning outfits for your family can be, so I have curated a Client Wardrobe with over 70 dresses for mom to borrow from, as well as a growing wardrobe for little ones. Once you’ve reserved your session, we'll get together for your Wardrobe & Planning Appointment. You can (but don't have to) select a dress to borrow and then the rest of the family will be styled with convenient shopping links so you can rest assured knowing everyone will be beautifully coordinated. We will also take some time to talk more about your session and also look through artwork samples.

"Liz has captured my family throughout many sessions, and I will go back to her again and again. She finds the moments in motherhood that are fleeting, and that deserve to be remembered. Liz uncovers the sweet, silly, and authentic moments between me and my kids and turns them into treasured memories. Liz’s talent is witnessing the crazy chaos and magic that is me with my family, and creating photos that reflect the love we have, the memories we make, and the laughter we share. It means so much to me to feel the full weight of love for my children and family reflected in our photos—golden light and all."

Most mom's choose to document a maternity, newborn, 6 and 12 month session, but you can select 3 or 4 sessions from any combination of maternity, hospital fresh 48, newborn, 3 mo, 6 mo, 9 mo, or 12 month sessions.
Most importantly, I am passionate about motherhood, and while it's incredibly hard sometimes, it's also the most beautiful and meaningful experience. I want you to always have these memories to look back on, and I want the time we work together to be just as special as the photos we create.
As a mom of three young children myself, I just know how it goes sometimes. I have plenty of tricks to help guide a session along smoothly so it feels enjoyable and effortless. And even if it doesn't feel effortless, I promise we'll still get great photos!
Not only have I sourced stunning, high-end heirloom albums and framed portraits, I also offer complimentary artwork design.
Complimentary client wardrobe with 70+ dresses to choose from saves you time, money, and stress.
