When should I schedule a newborn session?

Scheduling your newborn session at least 2 months in advance would be ideal, allowing time  in case you end up delivering earlier than expected. I can save a spot for you on my calendar.

​

Where do newborn sessions take place?

We photograph in the comfort of your own home or at a studio.

​

How long do newborn sessions last?

Sessions can last anywhere between 1-2 hours. For studio sessions, I would recommend 2 hours so we don't feel rushed and there's time to allow for baby to nurse or diaper changes as needed.

​

How old does my  baby have to be for the session?

For a newborn session, ideal between the first 2 weeks. However, if you're not comfortable having visitors around your baby right away, even up to 1 month is ok to truly get that newborn feel.

​

What can I expect at my newborn session?

Our session will be very relaxed and baby-led. Baby will almost always be in mom or dad's arms unless they're willing to be laid down for some solo shots. If not, no worries! We can get all the detail shots in their parents' arms.

​

I gained weight during pregnancy. Can you do some Photoshop work on me?

I totally understand the feeling — many of us go through body changes, especially during pregnancy. I generally don’t alter who you are, because these photos are about celebrating your real, beautiful story. This season of life is so special, and I believe it’s worth remembering just as it is. Don’t let any insecurities keep you from being in the photos. Your child will look back at these and see one thing: the love, warmth, and care of their family — and that’s what truly matters.

Health & Safety

If there is any sickness, we will reschedule, making sure it's a safe environment for baby. If you're more comfortable that I wear a mask, I can do that!
