How It Works

I know you’ve got a lot on your plate right now, whether you’re preparing for baby’s arrival or already in the thick of it! But don’t worry, I’ve got you covered and promise to make this whole thing as easy and rewarding as a mid-day nap (yes, we’re dreaming big).

1. Book your perfect session

First, we’ll chat about your ideal session - whether that’s the cozy vibe of my studio or the relaxed comfort of your own home. Once we choose the perfect experience, we’ll schedule everything around your baby’s arrival. Simple!

2. Session Day is here!

On the day of your session, just show up and relax! We’ll start with family poses (if you’d like), then focus on your baby, capturing all the little details, giggles, and snuggles. 

3. Relax and enjoy this moment

I’ll take care of everything, from posing tips to keeping your baby calm. You won’t have to stress about anything other than soaking in these fleeting moments.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

When should I book my newborn session with you?

You can book as far in advance as you'd like! I recommend booking during your second or early third trimester to guarantee my availability. A retainer is due to secure your session, and your due date will serve as a tentative date. Once your baby arrives, let me know and we'll set the official session date.

If I didn’t book in advance, is that okay?

No worries! I get that sometimes you don't even know you want it until baby’s here. If you contact me after baby arrives (even if it's been a month), I’ll do my best to fit you in as soon as possible. We’ll still be able to do a great session, I will just have to let baby take the lead as far as posing. Past the 3 week mark we will likely have mostly swaddled poses and few (if any) tummy poses.

Can parents and siblings be included?

Absolutely! For all sessions except the newborn mini, family members are encouraged and welcomed. This is your journey too, and I love capturing those family connections.

Are pets allowed to be part of the session?

Yes! I love pets - they’re your first babies and should definitely be included! The studio is pet-friendly, though I'd recommend having someone take them home after their photos, as it can be stressful for them to stay for a longer session.

Do you provide help with styling?

Yes, styling help is included! Once your session is booked, you’ll receive a newborn session guide with styling tips and tricks to make sure everything goes smoothly.
