Frequently Asked Questions

Of course. I will not take any photographs that you do not feel comfortable with. That goes for maternity, newborn sessions. Also, If you aren’t comfortable with me sharing images on social media or my blog, I certainly would not do so.

All newborns have a certain “look” to them. Usually within a week or two, that newborn-like quality starts to disappear. The point of newborn photos is to capture that newborn look, so I always recommend photographing as early as possible.

Absolutely. I understand that this is a hectic time for you, so I want to make your session as easy and streamlined as possible. I do prefer to photograph in a room that’s extremely well lit with natural light, so just make sure that’s available. And, of course, you can always come to my home studio.

Ultimately, what you wear depends on what you’re comfortable in. That said, I recommend clothing showcases your baby bump. Empire dresses belted under the bust and stretchy fabrics are two of my favorites. I’d avoid anything extremely loose.

I think some of the best maternity photos are taken between the seven and eight month mark. This is when you’re really showing, but isn’t so close to your due that you’re really uncomfortable.

Yes we supply all props, however if you have something special please feel free to bring it along.

You don’t need to bring anything, however if you have something special you’d like to be photographed, please feel free to bring it along.

All of our sessions include family photos. I always encourage them but it is your choice whether to capture them as well.  We can accommodate up to 6 people in total in our studio, including your immediate family, for the duration of your session.

Yes I have all my vaccinations up to date. A newborn is at the stage where they are too young to have vaccinations, so it is really important to ensure your newborn photographer has their vaccinations up to date.

For babies under 4 months old, I’d still recommend booking a newborn session as it allows that extra time to capture sleepy poses if they fall asleep as well as time for feeding and comforting.

No, not at all for any images/products that you purchase.  We do add a watermark if we post them online (only with your permission).

We supply them as a digital download ( online gallery ). There are many benefits of a digital download over a USB drive, such as instant download and not having to wait for a USB drive in the mail, and therefore increased security.  The exact same contents of a USB drive are simply available as a download instead, approximately 250 MB in size. Also you can buy Prints and canvases.

Yes, I can go to your home as long as we get enough space to set up my studio and props.

The ideal time is at least a few weeks before giving birth, to ensure we keep time reserved for you near your due date. After your newborn arrives, we can schedule the actual time of the shoot. If you book in advance, we guarantee that we’ll have time available for you, no matter if your baby arrives early or late.
