When should I book my session?
Maternity sessions should be booked around your 20th week of pregnancy. Newborn sessions should be booked around your 30th week of pregnancy.
What is the best timeframe to schedule the session?
Maternity sessions are scheduled around 28-36 weeks of pregnancy. Newborns are initially scheduled 10-14 after due date.
Do I need to bring anything to my session?
I will provide a preparation guide for your session to highlight the most important things to bring. You will need to bring more things to your maternity session because everyone's styling preferences are different. Newborn sessions really only require the baby and essential care items.
How long does the session last?
Maternity and Newborn Session times will vary based on your package options and baby. I do not like watching a clock while I am trying to keep my attention on you or your baby. My shortest sessions are probably an hour and longest could be up to three hours. If you want to plan for your specific package selection, just ask before your session!
What if my baby does not cooperate during the session?
This is the main reason I do not like to watch the clock! All babies are different, but all babies are the boss with me. I have had trainings on baby soothing and techniques to get through a session even if baby is not happy. I will never push baby too far, either; whether it is a pose they do not like or they just want to eat some more. Safety of your baby is my first priority.
How long does it take to get my images?
Soft-proof galleries are usually sent within a week after your session. Once you have made your final selections and paid any additional fees, final galleries are usually delivered within four weeks from the final transaction date, whether it's selection or payment.
