FAQs
WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE YOU?
I understand feeling nervous handing your precious newborn to a total stranger. I’m a mom and I’ve been a mom of nearly every age. Our children are our entire world and the safety and care for them will always be my top priority. I’ve spent years perfecting and investing in my work. I have been trained by some of the best photographers in the country through hands on mentorships and continual education. I’m very intentional with every pose, with every shot. I value customer service and strive to exceed a client’s expectations with every experience.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO RESERVE MY NEWBORN SESSION?
WHAT ARE THE HOURS FOR YOUR SESSIONS?
HOW LONG ARE NEWBORN SESSIONS?
Newborn mini sessions are 1-2 hours, full sessions are 2-3. I allow the baby to lead the session, stopping for feedings, changing, soothing when needed. Every baby is different therefore every session has various poses and set-ups that your baby is comfortable with. I offer sibling and family poses only with my full package as these poses add extra set-ups and time.
HOW CAN I SECURE YOU FOR A SESSION?
I take a limited amount of sessions each month and sessions are not reserved until a client agreement is processed and a retainer fee is paid. Retainer fees are non-refundable.
HOW DO I BOOK A SESSION WHEN I’M NOT SURE WHEN BABY WILL ARRIVE?
Newborn photoshoots are scheduled between 7-21 days after birth and are booked ahead of time by reserving your due date on my calendar with a retainer fee. If baby arrives earlier or later than anticipated, there is always room to adjust. Once your baby arrives, I ask that you contact me as soon as possible so we can plan a definite date and time.
DO I NEED TO BRING ANYTHING TO OUR NEWBORN SESSION?
I provide everything for the session. In the planning stages, a questionnaire is emailed to you. I coordinate set-ups according to those answers. My studio has a wide variety of headbands, hats, bonnets, wraps and props. If you have something special to include like a family heirloom, sports items, military/law enforcement recognition, please let me know ahead of time so I can prepare accordingly.
CAN SIBLINGS COME TO THE SESSION?
Please only bring those that will be photographed to a session. If you purchase a full session, please bring siblings for the beginning and make arrangements for them to be taken home (shopping, to a park, etc) once they are finished with their photos. Sessions can get long for the littles.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?
After your session is complete, I typically post a sneak and email proofs within 48 hours. Finalized galleries are turned around in 2 weeks once images have been selected.
HOW WILL I RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?
All edited images are delivered via an online gallery. The gallery will be open for 2 months. A $100 fee will be charged to reopen a gallery after 2 months.
WHERE DO YOU RECOMMEND THAT I PRINT MY DIGITAL FILES?
All of my packages include digital files with a print release. When you receive your final gallery, I list recommendations for printing.
