Most Common Questions!

How old should my baby be for the session?

The sweet spot to photograph newborns is between 7 & 12 days new. This is because baby is still super sleepy and flexible allowing for all of those sleepy curly images you love. And we can certainly photograph older newborns too.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO BOOK MY NEWBORN photos?

We book a limited number of newborns per month to ensure flexibility when baby decides to make their grand entrance.  Sessions are booked by your due date/c-section date and once your baby is born, the actual date and time for your session is scheduled.

It is best to book during your second trimester, the earlier the better.

Are props and accessories included in the session?

Yes! All props, headbands, outfits, layers and blankets are included in your session. These props are specifically made for professional newborn photographers by talented artists from across the world.

CAN we BOOK A SESSION IF our NEWBORN HAS ALREADY ARRIVED?!?

Absolutely! We accept a limited number of newborns a month to ensure they all receive the highest level of attention for the session. However, last minute bookings for new babies are always welcome! We cannot guaranteed availability within the recommended time-frame after your baby’s birth, but we will do our best to schedule your session as soon as possible.

Newborn sessions are NOT mandatory to be within the first 12 days. It is often more ideal at that age because babies are still super flexible and we can achieve the adorable curly poses, but that doesn’t mean it cannot be done. After the 10-14 days mark is when babies’ bones start to fuse & fully calcify and become less flexible. Plus, all they want to do is stretch-out as they get older. No matter how new the baby is all poses are baby led. No all babies like all posing positions.

We will happily schedule a session for an older baby (up to 2 months old) and proceed as a newborn session, BUT it all depends on the individual baby whether we can get certain poses or if we capture great bright-eyes shots (which are super adorable!). We will NEVER refuse an older baby! We will work with their motor skills and sleep schedule to create gorgeous images. For any newborn or baby session, our large prop and accessory collection will allow us to get plenty of variety in your gallery, even if baby is limited to certain poses.

HOW SOON WILL I BE ABLE TO SEE MY PHOTOS? 

Often clients will be invited to schedule their reveal ordering appointment within 2 weeks of the session. The type of session you’ve booked and the time of year will affect the timeline, and your personal turnaround time will be outlined in your contract.

At the reveal ordering appointment, you will be able to view the slideshow presentation of the images on the big screen to make your selections.
