Know More About Newborn Session

Awaiting a newborn is a wonderful experience as your family grows. It’s crucial not to let these priceless moments slip away. Babies grow fast! Capturing this special time through professional photography ensures timeless memories that you’ll treasure forever.

Why choose me?

Understanding the challenge of trusting someone with your precious bundle, especially as a fellow mom, I prioritize earning trust rather than expecting it. Since starting my newborn photography business in 2017, safety has been my absolute priority, reflected in every pose and shot I capture. It’s crucial to choose someone experienced and knowledgeable in delicately caring for your little treasure.

When should I book the newborn session?

Typically, it’s advised to secure the newborn session around the second trimester, aligning it with your due date. I take on a very limited number of sessions each month. To confirm your booking, a non-refundable $100 retainer is required, with the remaining balance due on the session day.

When is the ideal time for newborn photos?

Usually, newborn sessions are scheduled between 6 to 12 days after birth. During this period, most babies sleep well, leading to smoother sessions, and their skin looks lovely. If the baby is premature, born before 37 weeks, we’ll plan the session accordingly. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience with premature babies, they might be tiny, but they’re incredibly strong.

What should I bring or prepare for the session?

You don’t need to prepare anything except the essentials such as a pacifier, formula, diapers, and wipes. We aim to keep the session as simple as possible for parents, particularly new parents. If you have any special item you want to incorporate into the photos, feel free to bring it along.

Are we able to purchase more photos?

You’ll receive the exact number of photos included in the package you have booked. If you’d like additional photos, you have the option to purchase extra images. Raw images aren’t provided as they’re all copyright protected. Clients often choose to add additional images from the selection gallery. Each additional newborn digital image is priced at $30+taxes, professionally retouched, and delivered in high resolution.

What if I don’t like the editing style? Can I get the raw images as well?

I highly recommend reviewing my portfolio before booking to ensure my photography and editing style match your expectations. All images on my website and social media reflect my consistent style and the final quality you can expect. Clients book with me because they love my style and editing. Raw images are not provided, as they are protected by copyright and do not represent the finished work or artistic standard of my brand. If you have any questions about my style before booking, I’m always happy to chat.

Can we add additional family members to the session?

Except for the fully wrapped newborn session, which is baby-only, all other newborn packages include immediate family members (parents and the baby’s siblings. Cousins are not included). Additional family members are welcome to join the session for an add-on fee of $50+taxes per person. The number of images included in your package remains the same, the add-on fee covers the additional time for photographing and editing.

When can I receive my gallery?

After the session, I’ll send you the selection link within 2 days once full payment is received on the session day. After you select your package photos, I’ll begin editing. The standard turnaround time is 3–4 weeks. During busy seasons such as fall and Christmas, turnaround may extend to approximately 4–6 weeks. If you’d like to receive your gallery within one week, I can prioritize your edits for an additional rush fee of $300.
