When Do The Photos Take Place?
Newborn Session photos can only be done within the first 3 weeks of their lives as this is when they are still sleepy and able to comfortably curl up in those adorable newborn poses! Typically the sweet spot is 7-15 days but I have had babies who come to my studio at 5-6 days old and babies who have come to me at 16-21 days old. We will then also pick dates for your child’s 4 months, 8 months and 1 year Cake Smash Sessions! When booking these sessions I like to get as close to your baby’s age as possible!
When Should I Book?
Honestly the earlier the better! I would say you don’t have to rush in your first trimester, but once everything is looking good in your early Second Trimester I would reach out and book. I only take on 6-8 newborns a month, and I am booking 3-4 months in advance currently, so if you definitely are interested I wouldn’t hesitate waiting for a spot for your Newborn Session! Once you are officially booked (contract signed and $500 Session Fee paid) you would just let me know when your little love arrives within 24 hours of their birth, that way we can look at our schedules to find a few days that work for everyone! We will then figure out the dates that work best for you along the way for your milestone sessions!
How Do We View The Photos?
About 2.5 weeks after your Newborn Session, you will be invited back to my home studio for your Portrait Reveal and Ordering Session so you can view the absolute best 25 images from your session! You will then be able to purchase one of the digital packages above! When you do purchase one of the digital packages above it locks you in for the entire year so you won’t have to pay anything additional after your newborn portrait Reveal unless you’d like to purchase any prints, canvases or albums along the way!
Do You Participate in Registries?
We do!! I have created several crowd funding pages that you can link directly to your online registry that would allow friends and family to contribute to this gift for you! All payments go through Paypal, via a link that’s created especially for you! Friends and family will arrive to your Custom Paypal Page via the link, and be able to contribute any dollar amount towards the photos! By the time baby comes, you will just simply owe a balance (if there is one) for whatever is left before your session!
Prints start at $50, Canvases start at $300 and Albums start at $600. To see my complete Pricing Guide, and/or to book your session, please use the Contact form!
