FAQ's

• Can you come to my house for a newborn session?

         Unfortunately I do not offer at home sessions. A newborn session requires lighting equipment , props, backdrops that can be hard to transport                       without getting damaged.

• When is the best time to book a session?

Newborn sessions are scheduled during the second- or early third-trimester. Posed newborn sessions are held at 5 -15 days after birth at my home studio.

Milestone sessions can be scheduled at any age but typical stages occur at 3-4 months when the baby smiles start, 6-7 months when your baby is newly sitting unsupported, and 12 months when it’s time to celebrate your baby’s first birthday with a cake smash! Please contact me a month ahead so we can find a time that works for you.

• When is the best time to book a maternity session?

The sooner the better! The perfect time for maternity photos is somewhere between 26 and 34 weeks (7 or 8 months). You want your bump to be fully showing, nice and round, but you don't want to be so close to your due date that you are uncomfortable.

• Do you include props in your sessions?

Yes! My studio is equipped with cute outfits, delicate headbands, knitted hats and lots of beautiful props so you don't have to worry about bringing anything for your baby to wear.

• How long does a newborn session last?

A newborn session can last anywhere between 3-4 hours depending on the baby. Wrapped mini sessions last around 1-2 hours. Newborn sessions are not like your usual portrait session; you have to allow plenty of time for frequent feedings and soothing. Please keep this in mind and do not make plans for directly before or after your session.

Milestone sessions can last from 30 to 60 minutes.

• Can I incorporate siblings and family to a newborn session?

Yes absolutely! My Classic Newborn package includes family and siblings shots.

• What should parents/siblings wear for the session?

I recommend soft toned neutral colors such as white, creams, tans and greys. Avoid loud prints and logos so that we can keep the focus on the baby.

• What are your hours?

Studio hours are Monday – Friday from 9am – 2pm and Saturdays from 10 - 3, by appointment only. Newborn and milestone sessions are scheduled on weekday mornings. Outdoor sessions are scheduled after hours at sunset times.

• Can we include our pet?

I do not allow pets at the studio, outdoor, or on-location sessions. Through years of experience, I have found pets to be more distracting and stressful for photos. Your family pet is welcome to be included at your home for a lifestyle session.
