FAQ

The best time to take newborn photos is typically within the first two weeks of the baby's life. During this time, newborns are still very sleepy and can be posed more easily. They also tend to be more curled up in fetal positions, which can make for adorable and endearing photographs. If you cannot schedule a session within the first 2 weeks, don't worry! I can still get beautiful images at any age, but the posing options may be more limited.

Newborn photography sessions usually take 2-4 hours, depending on your baby's needs. I work at your baby's pace, allowing time for feeding, changing, and comforting as needed. It's important to remember that newborns are the boss during these sessions, and we will take all the time necessary to ensure they are comfortable and content.

I only take one newborn session a day, so there is no need to get stressed about time. I value these moments and want to get the best photos of your baby.

Absolutely! I love including siblings and pets in newborn photography sessions. It's a great way to capture the bond between siblings and the love a new baby brings to the family. Just let me know in advance if you would like to include siblings or pets in the session, and I will make sure to allow extra time for these images.

Safety is my top priority during newborn photography sessions. I have been trained in newborn posing and handling and follow all safety guidelines recommended by professional organizations. All props and poses are carefully chosen and set up to ensure your baby's safety at all times.

Yes! I encourage my clients to bring any special props or outfits they would like to include in the session. This could include family heirlooms, special blankets or outfits, or anything else that has special meaning to you. Please let me know in advance if you have any specific items you would like to use, and I will ensure to allow extra time to incorporate them into the session.

Absolutely. I fully respect your privacy. You may choose to keep your images completely private and not shared on my website, social media, or marketing materials. However, because portfolio images are an important part of how I grow my small business, a 10% Image Non-Usage Privacy Fee applies to sessions where clients request full privacy and opt out of all sharing.

If you still wish to allow some level of privacy without the fee, I also offer the following options at no additional cost:

• Limited Sharing (No Child Full Facial View) - Permission to share images only if the child(ren)’s full face is not visible. Images may include parents or adults, as well as non-identifiable photographs of children, such as detail shots (hands, feet), back-facing images, or side/profile views where the child’s facial features are not clearly identifiable.
• Limited Sharing (No Faces) - Permission to share images only if no faces of any participants are visible. This may include detail shots, hands, close-ups, back-facing images, over-the-shoulder views, side/profile views with no identifiable facial features, or silhouettes.

You are always in control of how your images are used, and your preference will be recorded in your client file.

I offer a 10% off both packages bundle when you book either the In Home or In Studio newborn session and my maternity session together.

No—proof images are delivered with a watermark and are for viewing and selection purposes only. They are lightly edited so you can choose your favourites for final retouching. Once you make your selections, those chosen images will be fully edited and delivered without watermarks. If you’d like to purchase additional images beyond your package, you’ll find upgrade options available in your proof gallery.

Yes, absolutely! If you’d like more images than what’s included in your package, you’ll have the option to purchase individual extra photos or even upgrade to the full gallery. Pricing details will be available directly in your proof gallery after the session, so you can decide once you’ve seen your images.
