The optimal time for a maternity shoot is between 28-34 weeks. A newborn session should take place between 5-21 days old. Sitter sessions are best when your baby can sit unassisted between 7-10 months old. And a Cake Smash can be photographed just before or just after the first birthday.

Absolutely! I believe that the location plays a significant role in capturing unique and personalized photographs.
