FAQ

What's the best time for a materniy|newborn|sitter or 1st Birthday shoot?
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.
do i book a newborn shoot before the baby comes?
Yes, please book your newborn session before the birth of your baby. This allows me to preplan ahead and ensure I don't over book that month. I allocate only a specific amount of shoots per month to newborn sessions.
Can we choose the location for our photo shoot?
Absolutely! I believe that the location plays a significant role in capturing unique and personalized photographs. Whether it's at a beautiful outdoor location or a studio of your choice, I'll provide you with a list my top choices based, on your requirements, vetted for their aesthetics and beautiful light - you wont go wrong!
How long does a typical photo session last?
The duration of a photo session varies depending on the type of shoot. Portrait sessions typically range from 1 to 2 hours, I strive to provide ample time to capture all the important moments while making sure you feel comfortable, relaxed and never rushed.
How long does it take to receive the final edited photos?
I understand the anticipation of seeing your final photos. My editing process typically takes 2-3 weeks, depending on the volume of images and the complexity of editing required. I prioritize quality and attention to detail to deliver exceptional images that exceed your expectations.
What happens if the weather is unfavorable on the day of an outdoor shoot?
Bring an umbrella! Just kidding. If the weather doesn't cooperate on the day of an outdoor shoot, we can discuss rescheduling the session or finding an indoor location. I want to ensure the best possible outcome for your photos, and I'm flexible in adapting to unforeseen circumstances.

Common Concerns

Your Biggest Newborn Photo Worries, Answered Honestly.

What if my baby cries the whole time?


Newborns cry, its how they communicate and it is totally normal. I plan every session for 2-4 hours so there is zero rush. We pause for feeds, cuddles, diaper changes and soothing whenever your baby needs it. Most babies settle once they're warm, full, and swaddled. If there is a fussy stretch, we simply work around it. You will leave with a full, varied gallery of peaceful, dreamy images.

I feel completely unphotogenic right now. I'm swollen, tired and still healing?


You are not alone. Almost every new mom feels this way. I provide a curated client closet of flattering designer dresses, guide you into comfortable, natural poses, and use soft, forgivable lighting. Most moms tell me afterwards "I actually love how I look in these photos." Being in the pictures with the baby is one of the best decisions you'll make.

My baby has acne, jaundice or peeling skin - will they still look beautiful?


100% yes. Baby acne, jaundice, dry skin, and little scratches are completely normal and temporary.  I use gentle, natural retouching to soften these while keeping every photo authentic to your baby.

Common Concerns

Your Biggest Newborn Photo Worries, Answered Honestly.

Getting out of the house feels impossible.


I get it. I have two little girls myself and I know first hand how difficult it is to get everyone moving. Packing diapers, bottles, and a newborn (plus siblings) is a mission. That's why my Danforth studio is designed for comfort: everything you need is here (outfits, wraps, bottle warmers, nursing pillows, changing station, diapers, pacifies, wipes, even a cozy spot for you to rest). Just show up - I handle the rest.

My husband doesn't want to be a part of the shoot.


This is super common - and totally fine. Many dads feel awkward in front of the camera and just prefer to stay home. Believe it or not, a lot of moms come alone, and it often makes the session even more relaxed and focused.


We'll capture beautiful portraits of you and your baby (and baby solo). Either way, if he changes his mind and wants a quick family shot, we can sneak one in, no pressure.

How will I actually enjoy these photos day-to-day?


Digital files are wonderful for sharing, but nothing compares to seeing your baby's tiny toes on your wall or flipping through a heirloom album with your morning coffee. I can guide you through choosing wall art, frames and albums that fit your home perfectly - so your portraits become part of your daily life that adorn your walls.
