This is up to you. If you pay as you go, you’d pay in full for each session until 12 months, and that final session is done for free.

Your payment is all-inclusive. It covers the session itself, and a download of all the full-resolution, edited, digital images. It also includes standard retouching, if needed, to your favorite images. (Please note that some retouching requests are complex and may require an additional fee.)

I dedicate up to 1 hour to every session, though depending on weather and other factors, that can run a little shorter or longer.

It’s best, if possible, to plan for the session to take place within baby’s first 14 days at home. That is when baby will be most sleepy and therefore cooperative for photos.

I come to you for your comfort and ease.

I bring a bean bag for positioning, a basket, and a few white blankets with differing textures. I do not provide clothing, accessories, or backdrops (my style is natural and candid rather than fabricated).

We can schedule your newborn session based on your due date; typically, 3 days after the baby is due. Then, as we approach the due date, we can adjust the timing as needed for a late or early arrival. Newborn sessions tend to be easy to reschedule because they generally take place Monday – Friday, when my calendar has much more wiggle room.

I am fully vaccinated and have continued to wear a mask when working. When I come into your home, I wear an N95 or KN95 and bring hand sanitizer with me, though there’s very little I need to touch while I’m there. Unless you ask otherwise, I refrain from touching baby in order to move/position.

My suggestion is to wait until your baby bump is prominent enough to show in photos. 6-7 months is generally safe. 7 months is the most popular choice, as many women are just too uncomfortable by month 8.
