Frequently Asked Questions
When should I book a newborn session?

How long will it take to receive my photos?
Honestly? Yesterday. But seriously, the best time to book is before your baby arrives. We recommend reserving your session while you’re still pregnant—ideally in your second or early third trimester.
But if you’re finding me and your baby is 3 weeks old already, give me a ring anyway. We may be able to make some magic with you as long as you’re flexible.
Absolutely! Those moments are pure magic. We’ll capture sweet shots of the whole family, as well as individual photos of siblings with the baby. Don’t worry about bribing your toddler into behaving; we’ve worked with every personality under the sun. And parents—relax. We’ll make sure you look amazing, even if you haven’t had a full night’s sleep since 2022.
Oh, you bet we do. From delicate headbands to cozy wraps, tiny baskets, and mini beds, our studio is fully stocked with all the Pinterest-worthy props you can imagine. And here's a tip: save your money on those cute outfits from Amazon or Etsy. While they might look adorable online, they’re often too big, bulky, or not the best quality for photos. We’ve specially curated our collection to ensure everything looks perfect on camera—no awkward bunching or distracting patterns here.
These sessions are all about baby time, so we block out 2-3 hours. That gives us plenty of wiggle room for feeding, soothing, and inevitable diaper changes (because let’s face it, babies love to surprise us). Don’t worry—there’s no rush. You can sit back, sip some coffee, and maybe even snag a quick nap while we work our magic.
We know you’re excited to see the magic we created—don’t worry, you won’t have to wait long! We’ll schedule your big reveal for about a week after your session. That’s when you’ll come back to view all the stunning portraits and decide how you’d like to enjoy them. Whether it’s an album, an image box, wall art, or tabletop décor, we offer unique, heirloom-quality options that make sure these memories don’t just live on your phone or disappear into the cloud. It’s all about turning your portraits into something you’ll treasure forever.
The Process
We Do Sh*t Differently Here
Look, you’re busy, I’m busy, and nobody’s got time for boring or complicated.
Here’s how we make the magic happen:
1. Discovery Call
We hop on a quick call so I can hear your big ideas - or your “I’m overwhelmed, just tell me what to do” moments. Either way, I’ve got you.
2. Book Your Session
Throw down the booking fee, and you’re locked in, baby! Now we’ll plan all the cute AF details that’ll make your session Pinterest-worthy without you having to lift a finger.
3. Photoshoot Day!
This is where the fun happens. Grumpy dad? No problem. Wild toddler? Been there. Honestly, I’ve been called a baby whisperer and a toddler wrangler—and I wear those titles proudly.
4. Image Reveal
A week or so later, you’ll sit down with me, and we’ll cry over how stinkin’ cute your family is. Then we’ll pick the albums and wall art that’ll make your house look like the cover of a parenting magazine (but, like, cooler).
We’re all about making every family feel welcome.
Whether you’ve got a huge family, a blended crew, or just need a break from all the baby advice, we’ve got your back. And when you’re done? You won’t just walk away with a few pics - you’ll have jaw-dropping photos that’ll make everyone say, “Wait, you really had that much fun doing newborn photos?”
So take a breath, mama. We know it feels like a lot, but when you work with us, all those newborn photo worries melt away. We’ll take care of it all. You just show up, relax, and get ready to meet your new best friend: your photos.

Alright, let’s talk money - because yes, amazing newborn portraits like these come with a price tag. Why? Because you’re hiring pros who don’t just snap pictures; we create pure magic.
We’re not about handing over a USB of “someday-I’ll-print-these” digital files. Instead, we deliver art you can actually see and enjoy—printed in gorgeous albums or wall displays that make your heart happy every day. These are jaw-dropping works of art that deserve to be shown off, not trapped in the digital abyss of your phone or cloud.
Our collections give you the best of both worlds - beautiful printed keepsakes AND the digital files you crave. You pick a collection based on how many images you can’t live without (spoiler alert: it’s usually all of them).
Most families invest $1500–$3000, and trust me, it’s worth every penny. When you experience the magic, you’ll know why so many families say the same.
Let us handle the photos.
