Q. When should I book my newborn session?
A. Newborn sessions are best booked before your baby arrives around your seventh month of pregnancy, but you can book even earlier than seven months to ensure availability.

A. Normally newborn sessions occur when your baby is seven to fourteen days old.
Q. Can we wait longer to have our newborn's portrait session?
A. Yes, you could wait but the older your baby gets the more awake they become. Most parents desire the sleepy and dreamy poses so to ensure we can capture them we prefer to capture your newborn a few days after birth.
Q. Can I still book a newborn session after fourteen days old?
A. Yes, you can book a session with the understanding that we may not be able to capture your baby sleeping as your baby will be more alert.
Q. Where will my newborn session take place?
A. Newborn sessions typically take place in our in-home studio for stylized sessions or we can come to your home for a lifestyle session if you prefer.

Q. I'd like to include family poses and/or sibling poses into the newborn session which experience should I select?

your baby alone with one session and then we capture family poses. Mom can be pampered with professional hair and makeup with our team stylist.
