chapter Four
Once baby is born, you’ll shoot me a text and we will finalize your session date. The sweet spot is around 7-10 days old for studio sessions.
chapter Five
You will get an email from me with a personalized gallery with ALL of your photos from your session. No need to pick your favorites!
Fearfully and wonderfully made.
Birth Packages start at $2,000
Newborn Sessions start at $650
For Studio sessions, I have found 7-14 days old is the sweet spot.
Lifestyle sessions can be anywhere between 7 days – 3 months!
The average for studio sessions are around 3 hours. Can be shorter or longer just depending on how settled baby is. Some baby’s need extra snuggles and snacks, and that’s okay! Don’t stress.
The sooner the better. I encourage clients to reach out at least three to four months in advance of their due date. Then, I’ll pencil in when the baby is due and will only take on a set number of newborn sessions that month to ensure my availability.
Yes, I provide a wide variety of neutral props, wraps, clothes, and baskets for baby.
I will send a Newborn Session Guide with your booking portal to go in more detail.
PARENTS: Dress in neutral tones, and consider the colors in your home when dressing for photo sessions.
BABY: Consider a simple onesie with snaps or a zipper for maximum ease! If your baby takes a pacifier or a bottle, please bring those items to ease the transition between photos.
I am on call for your labor 24/7 beginning 2 weeks before your due date. There is no specific time limit as birth is pretty unpredictable. Once I am informed that you are in the beginning stages of labor, I will prepare to be with you during your baby’s birth. I typically like to arrive when you are in active labor 5-6 cm dilated and having consistent close contractions.
I come to your chosen place of birth during active labor and will stay for the entire birth and up to 1-2 hours afterwards. Births are extremely unpredictable and this means I could be at your birth anywhere from 2 to 24 hours or more!!!
I like to meet with all of clients at least once before their birth, and oftentimes before they even decide to book with me. It is very important to me to build a relationship with my clients and understand their birth plan. I want to ensure you are completely comfortable with me and my shooting style, and that I understand your desires for your birth.
If I am able to join you in the operating room, I will do so! If not, I will send my camera with the person that is joining you, and resume shooting once you are out of the OR!
You should book me as soon as you know you would like to hire me for your baby’s birth. I cannot be at two births at once so I book a very select number of births! Please reserve me for your birth early in your pregnancy.
Yes! Always talk to your healthcare provider. If you are delivering in a hospital, some may have restrictions on the number of people allowed in the room, some do not allow photographs, and some healthcare providers have preferences on whether or not they will be photographed.
Once you have talked to your healthcare provider, we will discuss in-depth what they will allow.
