Maternity Sessions
- Sessions are best between 7-8 months and generally take about 1-2 hours
- Expecting moms are asked that they eat prior to arrival. We also provide snacks and beverages during the shoot
- Nudity is a personal option and if requested, is handled very discreetly
- Multiple birth pregnancies are are usually best during 5-6 months
- Siblings and partners are welcomed and may be included during your maternity session at no extra charge
Newborn Sessions
- Book early! We will schedule a tentative date and then you should contact us once your bundle of joy arrives to schedule a session date
- We have tons of backdrops, props and outfits for your newborn. We also have outfits for siblings. Please inquire to ensure we have desired color/size.
- Newborn sessions are best when conducted within the first two weeks after your baby makes his/her debut; however we photograph older newborns too
- After two weeks babies are harder to settle and may be colic. Baby acne can flair up so we suggest that you schedule a newborn session as early as possible. We can also remove any acne during post editing as basic skin retouching is included.
- We encourage you to bring outfits and any heirloom item to be included in the shoot.
- Solo newborn sessions can take between 2-3 hours allowing plenty of time for feeding and comforting. I only shoot one newborn shoot on the day of your session. From time to time a baby may require additional time and this allows us to move through the shoot without taking as much time as needed to settle the baby. My recommendation is to estimate 3 hours especially if siblings, mom and dad will be photographed too.
- We take a minimalist approach for newborn photography focusing more on the details of the baby but we can also create a set of your choice which can be more elaborate. Please discuss your ideas during your consultation.
- Our goal is to capture an image that is timeless that you will be happy to display for years to come.
Family Sessions
- Contact us with details so that we can create a collection and photo session that meets your style and vision.
- I can't stress enough how meaningful these sessions become in the years to come. I recommend if you are thinking of doing it......do it. You won't regret it.
Beauty Session
- We offer this service as optional (you pay the artist directly)
- We recommend you book the hair and makeup artist for your session when booking your session.
Day of Session
- Generally assistants are present for Newborn shoots to assist with set up and baby safety; however due to Covid surges we may not always be able to have an assistant on hand. We may ask you to help with spotting baby during the shoot.
- Plan to arrive ah hour before your scheduled session if your session includes hair and makeup
Proofs
- A minimum of 50 proof images are provided for all regular sessions and packages do differ and we recommend you review your package details
- Generally proofs are provided 3-4 days after your session
- For newborns, we will expedite your selected images allowing for birth announcement
Baby Plans
Package plans are investments plans to use over the months or year ahead. Plans provide for a set number of sessions during the baby's first year. Typically, these are mini sessions and the growing baby sessions are held at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Mom and dads are welcomed to participate in any of the sessions. We also have customizable plans such as monthly shoots during the first 12 months after the baby's arrival or yearly birthday plan.
