Booking early ensures availability during your baby’s first two weeks, the ideal window for newborn photography.
FAQ’S
The ideal time for newborn photos is 7–14 days old, when baby is still sleepy, enjoys swaddling, and is less sensitive to movement and sound.
After 2 weeks, babies are often more alert and harder to swaddle. If your baby is older at the time of your session, no worries - we work with older newborns all the time. For older babies, we recommend our Signature Session for in-home sessions, and in the studio, we’ll simply focus more on family images if baby isn’t up for swaddled poses.
For in-home sessions, we choose 1–2 softly lit areas with natural light. Popular spots include the living room, master bedroom, or nursery. We also bring compact, high-quality lighting to ensure your images are beautifully lit to add light where we need to.
To book, a $100 non-refundable retainer is required, with the balance due on session day. We recommend booking before baby arrives to ensure availability in the ideal 2–3 week window.
We take your baby’s safety seriously. We wear a mask when handling babies under 2 months, are up-to-date on the Tdap vaccine, and will reschedule if we’re feeling unwell.
Once baby is here, just send us a quick text or email to schedule your session time.
