Questions
When should I schedule a newborn photography session?
Reserve your session during pregnancy, ideally before 30 weeks. Newborns photograph best between 7-20 days old.
What safety measures do you use for newborns?
I maintain constant hand-on supervision, use spotters for complex poses, and have specialized training from industry leaders in newborn photography safety.
Can we include siblings in our session?
Yes! Siblings and parents are welcome in most sessions. Newborn packages specifically include parent/sibling images in studio sessions.
How long do portrait sessions last?
Sessions range from 20 minutes for mini-sessions to 1.5 hours for luxury packages. Newborn sessions typically require 2-3 hours to accommodate baby's needs.
What payment options are available?
We offer payment plans for all sessions. A $150 retainer is required to book, with remaining balance due at the session.
