The optimal window for capturing newborns in a photo shoot is typically within 2-8 days after birth. However, if your baby surpasses the 8-day mark, rest assured that I can still create stunning images that beautifully capture your new arrival.

Newborn Sessions

Since your baby’s arrival will likely be unpredictable, I recommend getting your newborn session in the books 6-8 weeks prior to your due date. If your new bundle comes a little early or later than planned, I will make sure to find a way to rearrange my schedule and ensure you get those first precious moments captured!

Milestone Sessions

I suggest scheduling your milestone or one-year-old cake smash photo session around 6-8 weeks ahead of your desired photo date. For holiday-themed sessions, it's advisable to reach out even earlier due to high demand and limited availability, as these slots tend to fill up rapidly.

The current pricing, and available collections tailored to your needs can be found on the Investment page. Upon choosing a package, I'll forward a contract outlining the session details and the deposit needed to confirm your booking. Securing your desired date or timeframe requires this deposit. Once the deposit is settled and the photography session agreement is signed, your due date or required date will be added to my calendar.

On your session day, you can relax knowing everything is taken care of. You won't need to bring any newborn clothes as I provide specially crafted outfits, wraps, props, and more for your styled photo session. Typically, newborn sessions run between 1.5 to 3 hours, varying based on the baby's sleepiness for optimal photo moments. That's why capturing them within the first 8 days is highly recommended. Before your session, I'll send a prep guide with helpful tips to ensure everything goes smoothly!

You won't need to bring much for the baby except any necessary feeding items like extra bottles, formula, or nursing supplies. Dressing your baby in zip-up pajamas is recommended. As for parents and siblings, if your package includes them, opting for solid colors, especially earth tones and neutrals, is suggested. Steer clear of bright colors or intricate patterns for a cohesive look in the photos.

Certainly, both parents and siblings are welcome to participate in the photo session. For details about including additional family members, please refer to the various package options available on the investment page.

Certainly! While the studio space is limited, it's helpful to keep the number of attendees to a minimum. Ideally, it's preferred that only parents and siblings who will be part of the photos attend the session. There's a designated area just outside the studio where toddlers or other siblings can wait and play while the newborn photos are being taken. If you bring a sibling and intend to stay for the entire session, kindly ensure that there is an adult available to watch over them throughout. Please note that the siblings are welcome in the studio area only when they are being photographed with your newborn. Your understanding and cooperation are greatly appreciated!
