FAQ
When is the best time to do a Maternity session?
We suggest within the 28-38 weeks, when you have a nice round belly and feel good. Every mom varies in weight and size; we suggest calling in the beginning of your second trimester to discuss scheduling.
When is the best time to do a Newborn session?
Newborn sessions are done when baby is 5-14 days. Babies change very quickly, their eating habits and attachment to mom strengthens as the days go by. The first 2 weeks is the best time to be photographed in curled positions, because babies are born with extra bones that allow them to be extra flexible. Once baby is 10 lbs or older than 2 weeks, these bones fuse. Since newborn sessions are strategically planned, and sessions last up to 3 hours they need to be booked in advanced. Newborn session inquiries after baby is born is not always available.
When do we get our photos?
We send an online gallery of the highlights of the session a week after your photoshoot date. You will select your favorites; we will review the favorites and send them back on an online gallery for download. Prints are sent to you digitally and can be printed up to 8x10. Full turnaround time can be 2-3 weeks.
Do you provide location photo shoots?
