Newborn
Babies are my absolute favorite thing to photograph. I love how unique each on is and seeing their personalities show at such a young age. I have 3 kids of my own & have been around babies my whole life which gives me an edge in this field. They grow up so fast which is why it's so important to get their photos done! I promise you won't regret newborn photos with me.
Maternity
I never did maternity pictures for any of my pregnancies, and I can say with 100% certainty that I regret it! This is a time in your life that is miraculous. Your body is doing an incredible thing and one day, you will want to look back on this experience regardless of its enjoyment. Pregnancy can be so difficult, but capture it. It's worth it.
Family
I love watching your families grow! It's so fun to see how you've changed since the last session, time flies! I pride myself in working with toddlers & young children especially. I'm an advocate for taking family photos & printing them! Your kids will feel a sense of belonging when they see themselves on the wall with their family.
FAQ
How do I book?
After reaching out, a 20% non refundable retainer is required upon booking and the remaining payment is due at least 2 days before your session. A session contract must also be signed to finalize booking.
How much is tax?
The 2024 tax rate for photography services is 7.45%. There is also a 2% fee applied to your invoice for processing payment. I do not profit from tax, it is a fee required for my business that I am licensed to collect.
How many pictures will I receive?
Depending on the session length and cooperation will determine how many photos are given. Anywhere from 15-70 depending on the session type and how many photos you choose. A soft gallery will be sent where you can choose your favorite photos for final edits.
How do I choose my photos?
I will send you unedited, watermarked versions of your gallery ("soft gallery") within 1 week. You will then select your favorites for me to finalize!
Can I get more final edits?
Yes!! Your session comes with a minimum number of edits (determined in your contract) and you can buy additional edits for $6+tax/photo or purchase "All The Best Images" (entire gallery) for $120 + tax.
When will I get my photos back?
I do my best to keep galleries delivered within 2 weeks! Contract states up to 4 weeks.
How should we dress for our session?
My advice is to keep it neutral! Avoid busy patterns (stripes, plaid, polka dots, etc), clashing colors, and stiff fabric. At the end of the day, wear what YOU feel good in!
When should I book a maternity session?
Ideally sometime between 26-34 weeks. But reach out to schedule at any point during your pregnancy!
What’s the best time to photograph a newborn?
Book your newborn sessions as soon as possible! It will ideally take place when the baby is 4-15 days old, and 6-10 lbs. If this time frame isn't possible, don't stress! We'll make it work.
Do I bring my own props for my newborn?
You are welcome to bring any props that you would like but it's not necessary. I have a variety of wraps, accessories, outfits, and set ups for you to choose from. Any personal items must be approved beforehand.
Do you offer In-Home sessions?
In home sessions add an additional fee starting from $50 and go up based on location. Not all homes will be approved, photos & descriptions of lighting will determine eligibility. Not always offered.
My baby is already here, can I schedule?
There is a $25 charge if you reach out after birth. I do my best to accommodate last minute bookings, submit an inquiry as soon as possible & I'll see what I can do! Last minute sessions are due in full upon booking and messages must be answered within 5 hours otherwise I'll move on.
