Your job is just to show up and soak it in.
I specialize in newborn, milestone, and family photography and work out of my in-home studio located in Bottineau, North Dakota. As a mom of 2, I know that this stage of life is exhausting, chaotic, but honestly over WAY too fast. My job is to slow it down long enough to give you a gallery of images that feel like a memory you can step back into.
I’d describe my photography style as artful and timeless. I love clean whites, soft light, and earthy/neutral tones, while still incorporating thoughtful pops of color that bring in personality and warmth. My goal for each and every session is to create images that feel both polished and emotional.
When I’m not photographing babies, I’m probably chasing my own kids around with my camera or deep into a Pinterest rabbit hole building mood boards for future sessions. Oh, and I should probably mention my husband: my extremely dedicated (and extremely unpaid) assistant — always building me whatever I need to make my Pinterest boards a reality... including my new studio space coming VERY soon!
Sessions with me are baby/child-led and intentionally calm. You don’t need to know how to pose yourself or know when to smile, it's my job to guide you.
Hi, I’m Lita. I photograph tiny people with big feelings and I LOVE it!

Photography has always been close to my heart. I can still picture myself as a little girl, wide eyed at my grandma’s Polaroid camera and the magic it created. Years later, when I became a mom, everything shifted. With my daughter, I found my passion; with my son, I found my purpose. They made me realize how fleeting the little details are: the tiny fingers, the sleepy smiles, the everyday moments, and how only a photograph can keep them safe.
My children are the ones who sparked this fire in me, and they continue to inspire everything I do.
my reason why
Mexican food is my favorite! Don't forget the margarita - on the rocks, please.
My husband and I got married on Halloween but not by choice.... our original date was peak Covid era, enough said!
I have one cat named Dexter but without photo evidence, no one would know he exists. He is not very people-y!
My kids have an eleven year age gap.... I like to think of it as experiencing the best of both worlds.... lol.
I think of my repeat clients as friends. I am always SO excited to catch up during sessions.
I truly love this job and I hope my passion shines through my work!
LET'S make sure that happens.
From little newborn stretches to big toddler tornadoes, these are the moments that turn into “I wish I had more photos of this.”
