Do you offer any packages?

Yes! I offer a Bump to Baby Bundle. This Bundle includes a savings of $100 and grants access to our client closet, with over a dozen maternity dresses to pick from. In addition to straight forward newborn sessions, I also provide a package to include all milestone sessions. Baby’s First Year Package includes a newborn, 3-month, 6-month, 9-month and 1-year session. These are booked and paid for as one collection. We can schedule each of the five sessions in advance, or we can pencil them in as it's convenient to your schedule. For pricing on packages, please email or call. 

 

​

When should I schedule maternity photos? 

As a general rule of thumb, I like to schedule your maternity session shortly after you've told friends and family the exciting news! This will give us plenty of time to find a great day that works well for both of us .

 

​

When should I have my maternity photos taken?

I think some of the best maternity photos are taken between 32-36 weeks. This is when you're really showing, but isn't so close to your due date that you're really uncomfortable.

 

​

What should I wear to my maternity session?

Ultimately, what you wear depends on what you're comfortable in. I'd avoid anything extremely loose. When booking your Bump to Baby Bundle, you gain access to my client closet, with over a dozen of maternity dresses to choose from. You can pick what you like best and can even have outfit changes. I always recommend a nude strapless bra and shapewear, Amazon has both! 

 

 

Are you trained in newborn photography?

Yes! I have spent the last 6 years perfecting my craft. Education and knowledge is essential in newborn photography. I have trained and studied under well known newborn photographers, such as Jade Gao, Meagan Ready and Rachel Vanoven. By attending in person and hands on workshops, I have been taught by some of the best in the industry. I’m constantly growing and learning, both through in person and online workshops. 

 

​

How can I prep for a newborn session?

I’ve got you covered! I will email you my Newborn Prep Guide, which will provide further details, tips to get the best sleepy shots of baby, ideas of what to wear for your parent shots and what to expect from start to finish. 

​

​

Why is it so important to do newborn photos within the first week or two?

All newborns have a certain "look" to them. Usually within a week or two, that newborn-like quality starts to disappear. The point of newborn photos is to capture that newborn look, so I always recommend photographing as early as possible. I love 9 to 11 days, if possible. 

 

 

What about props for sessions?

During our initial consultation, we can discuss the props I have available and what you'd be interested in using during our shoot. For example, I have various backdrops, blankets, baskets, wraps, outfits and so on. We will also discuss color preferences too. When I say you just have to bring baby and show up, I mean it. 

​

 

Where do we take the photographs? 

Where we take photographs depends on the type of session we're shooting. For maternity and family sessions, I like to do on-location, outdoor photographs that let us maximize our access to natural light. This can be in a beautiful park, on the beach or your favorite location. For newborn and milestone photographs, it's best to do in studio. There, I have access to all my props, studio lighting equipment and so on.  

 

​

Can my partner or child be in the photographs, too? 

Of course! I love incorporating mom, dad and your other children into our session photos. While in most cases you, dad and baby will be the stars of the day, I believe it's so important to have several photographs with the entire family -- especially during my maternity, newborn and family sessions. 

 

​

When do I schedule my milestone session dates? 

You can schedule your milestone session dates as far in advance as you like. I like to get it all out of the way and schedule them all. Don't worry -- I know you'll be busy, so I'll send you an email reminder.
