Frequently Asked Questions
How does this session work exactly?
Upon booking, we communicate throughout your pregnancy and you’ll notify me at the start of labor so that I can prepare my family to join you. I’ll be waiting for the notification that your baby has been born and we will discuss a mutually agreed upon time for the session.
Will you come within the first hours after baby is delivered?
Not for this type of session. On average, sessions are held between 36 hours to 4 days after delivery. If you are looking for coverage just after baby is born, then my Just Born Sessions are the best option for you.
Can other family members be present for the session?
Absolutely! I love capturing those special moments. However, these sessions are mainly for the immediate family. You’re welcome to invite grandparents, etc to join you, but I ask that they arrive no earlier than an hour into the session to minimize distractions.
Will you be bringing props and posing baby?
This being a lifestyle session, I will lightly direct you and your family into poses. Although I will be getting images of baby alone and all of their sweet details, this doesn’t include props and will not involve any newborn posing. If you are looking for that type of session, I would recommend looking at a newborn session.
How long before we get our gallery of images and how many images will be delivered to our gallery?
The turnaround time for delivering galleries is 2-3 weeks. A typical gallery will include around 50-100 images from our session. These hand-edited images will be placed in an online, password-protected gallery for viewing. You will then be able to create a selection of 30 images that you would like to download. Of course, you also have the option to purchase additional digital files if you choose to do so.
How do the payments work?
Although you don’t have to pay for the session in full upfront, I do require a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the session cost in order to lock-in your due date on the calendar. The remaining balance is due anywhere between the day of the session and up to 3 days later. Of course, you will have access to your client portal as soon as you’re officially booked to view your invoice and make payments towards your session whenever you choose.
