When should I book my newborn session?
The sooner you book, the better! I take a limited number of bookings each month to ensure timely turnaround for galleries. Contacting me sometime in your second trimester is best.
I have an ever-growing collection of gowns and clothing in my client closet. T his curated collection has been designed with maternity clients in mind. With varying sizes and styles, there's bound to be something that will be stunning on you. You can wear any of the gowns for your newborn session as well.
I don't know what to wear! Do you have options for me?
I have extensive training and experience from 10+ years photographing hundreds of newborns. I have a series of posing in my session workflow and do not take any requests of poses or setups I'm unfamiliar or inexperienced with. You may be asked to assist me from time to time during your newborn session if I require a second set of hands
What about newborn safety?
Newborn sessions must take place by the time baby is 14 days old. The ideal timeframe is between 5-10 days old. If baby is already born and beyond this time frame, I can still photograph your baby (pending my availability) however I will be limited to the posing as baby won't be as sleepy as they are in the first 14 days.
How old should my baby be for their session?
I have absolutely everything needed for your newborn session, all you need to provide is your sweet babe. I have a curated collection of rustic timeless props and accessories from select prop vendors to ensure safety and quality. For this reason, I do not allow you to bring any outside props or accessories.
What do I need to bring for a newborn session?
You will receive a proofing gallery in approximately 2 weeks time with soft editing completed on the best images. You then select your favourite images to have final editing completed on based on your collection. The final images will be edited and delivered in approximately 1 week. You are able to purchase additional images for $20 each.
How and when do I receive my digital images?
Tentatively, your due date holds your session in my calendar. Once your baby is born, we solidify your session date. Please contact me as soon as possible after baby is born and I will provide you a couple date and time options.
What if I don't know when my baby will be born?
Maternity sessions are photographed between 32-36 weeks. Session can either take place in my studio during the day, or, outdoors during golden hour only (last 90 minutes before sunset). Both location options allow for your spouse/partner and/or child(ren) to take part for a portion of your session.
When do you photograph maternity sessions?
You are able to purchase a variety of art products conveniently through your gallery link. Your package will come with a discount code and you can use it for any items in the online store. If you require assistance, a design appointment is inlcuded with your collection.
Can I purchase prints, canvases, albums, etc from you?
