frequently asked questions
What's included in your sessions?
My packages include newborn props, professional lighting, a full gallery of hand-edited images, print release and sometimes a so-bad-it's-good joke or two.
Oh, and photography/editing magic.
How long does it take to get our photos?
My maximum turnaround time is 21 days, but I always try to get images back to you earlier if my workflow allows. Reach out to me if you need rush delivery on your images!
Sneak peeks can often be found on my social media stories shortly after your editing process begins.
How are Fresh 48 Sessions Scheduled?
These are my most unpredictable (and hence, flexible) sessions. You'll provide me with your due date, and I'll use it as a very rough measure of when I could be taking your baby's photos.
We'll touch base as you approach your due date to keep tabs on everything. Once you deliver your sweet babe, please reach out to me ASAP so I can get you on my schedule! I aim to take these pics 12-36 hours after a vaginal birth or 24-48 hours after a caesarean.
See my Fresh 48 Prep Guide for more information!
Do you have props for Newborn sessions?
I sure do! I have a range of swaddles, blankets, hats and bows in a variety of neutral colors and textures. I always bring a selection to my newborn sessions for you to look through- if you own particular props that you'd like to use, we'll use them!
Do you offer family photography?
While my schedule focuses mostly on newborns, family photography is simply the next beautiful chapter of that same story. I love following growing families as they evolve, so I reserve a limited number of spots for family sessions each year.
Send me a quick message for current availability and details!
Do you offer Wedding/engagement photography?
While my heart and schedule belong mostly to newborns these days, I still reserve a limited number of spots for couples. Having photographed love stories for years, these sessions will always hold a special place in my work.
Reach out via the contact form for current availability and package details!
Where will my photos take place?
This depends! Most newborn sessions take place in a hospital, studio, or your home.
Family and couples sessions take place in either a studio or an outdoor location. Once booked, you'll receive a copy of my location guide with many beautiful options. I recommend sifting through it to find your ideal spot!
What time will my photo session take place?
This varies! Outdoor sessions will take place 1 hour before sunset, so times will change throughout the year.
Studio, In-home and Fresh 48 sessions are scheduled between mid-morning and mid-afternoon for the best light.
Will my photos be shared on social media?
This is totally up to you! You'll have the opportunity to select which types (if any) photos I'm allowed to share on social media in your booking questionnaire.
Note: free promotional sessions are not eligible for social media opt-out.
