Frequently Asked Questions
for newborn & baby sessions
"When should I book my newborn session?"
Book as soon as you're ready.
Most expecting moms' book after their first trimester.
Newborn sessions are best when the babe is 1-3 weeks old but have photographed babies at 4-8 weeks and still get great images. We schedule a couple weeks after your due date and if baby arrives early (or later), we will adjust as needed.
"Are digital files included in the session fee?"
Your session fee includes 3 professionally edited digital images.
All additional digitals and artwork are purchased AFTER your session during your ordering appointment. Each collection includes a form of print products, and each print product comes with the corresponding digital file. Or you have the option of purchasing digital files individually, but you can only use your included print credit towards collections, NOT a la carte items.
"What's your turnaround time?"
You will receive your proofing gallery 2-4 weeks during slow season (October-April) and 4-6 weeks during busy season (May-September) after your session takes place. Please allow for an additional 3-5 business days for any additional touch-ups or refinishing on final images chosen.
"How do we prepare for our session? Should we bring anything? What should baby wear?"
Upon booking, I always send out a full session outline and pre-session questionnaire attached to your contract email. Within the session outline, you will find all the helpful tips and pointers on what you should bring to your session, basic styling info and brief review on the session you've booked. The pre-session questionnaire will go over more details regarding styling and if you'd like access to my client wardrobe (I have tons of options, especially for the little ones!) From there, I will contact you to further discuss final wardrobe decisions.
"What if my baby is born with complications or needs to be on oxygen? Will you be able to work with or around that?"
One thing I pride myself in, is that I am always growing and improving in ways I can creatively and safely capture your little ones. Fortunately, I have experience with newborns and babies who have needed to remain on oxygen or have mobility restrictions. I've been able to be successful at capturing these little ones and ensure I take my time, take extra care and precautions to ensure the safety of your little ones.
"Where will our session take place?"
