FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I love adding a touch of creative magic to your newborn session. Instead of cluttering up the studio with physical props, I use my creative skills to digitally place your baby into adorable settings. With over 150 digital props to choose from, I can create charming and unique scenes without the need for bulky props. This way, your baby can be seamlessly Photoshopped into some really cute and imaginative scenarios, all while keeping things simple and space-efficient.

Don’t wait until the last minute to snag your spot for a newborn photography session—it's never too early to book! Most parents get ahead of the game during their 2nd or 3rd trimester to lock in their spot. I keep my schedule flexible for those surprise early arrivals, so space can fill up quickly each month. Once your little bundle of joy makes their debut, we’ll pick the perfect date for your photo shoot.

For the best results, I recommend scheduling your newborn photography session between 5-12 days after birth. This is when babies are at their sleepiest and most willing to curl up into those adorable poses. After two weeks, they might be a bit less likely to stay in that deep, dreamy sleep, which can make it a bit trickier to get those perfect shots. But no worries—I’ve also photographed newborns up to 3-4 weeks old, so just let me know what works best for you and your little star!

Most of my newborn sessions last about 1 1/2- 2 hrs but because we are on baby's time a session can go as long as 3 hours. I allow plenty of time for feeding and soothing your newborn.

Yes :-) I provide everything. All the outfits, head bows, and wraps on the site are mine.

No worries if your baby is already past 2 weeks old—it's still perfect for a newborn photography session! While the classic sleepy poses you see on my site might be a bit trickier, we'll still capture stunning and adorable photos. As a seasoned newborn photographer, I understand that every baby has their own schedule and personality. Whether your little one is wide awake or just a bit older, I'll create beautiful images that highlight their unique charm.
