ANSWER:
Newborn and maternity sessions should be booked early in your pregnancy. The best time for maternity session is 29-36 weeks.
Newborn sessions should be booked in your second or third trimester. However, if you you have already had your baby please contact me to see if I have any availability.

ANSWER:
Newborn session is the best when your baby is 5-21 days old. Your little one is still sleepy and flexible and their skin is soft. Most of the photos in my newborn portfolio contains images of babies 5-21 days old.
If you miss the newborn stage, it will be still possible to photograph your baby, however, the images might not look similar to the pictures on my portfolio. After 21 days old, newborns are not as sleepy and they do not curl up easily. For older babies I plan for more swaddle set ups and I take more awake shots.

ANSWER:

ANSWER:
It depends on your baby’s sleepiness. It can take up to 3 hours. I allow enough time for feeding and changing. As an artist, I do not like to be rushed and I want you to get the best result possible.

ANSWER:
Before the actual session, I usually ask my clients about their favorite colors that they want me to use at the session. Please feel free to send me inspiration images from my portfolio, so I can get a better sense of your style. Prior to your arrival, all the set ups will be ready in the studio. Please note, that everything before the session will be steam sanitized and I require to wear shoe covers in the studio which I provide.
The room is heated for baby’s comfort, so please dress accordingly. Please feel yourself at home, you can relax and enjoy your rest while I pose and photograph your little model. I provide water and snacks in the studio. You are welcome to bring your own food and drinks.
During the session, baby’s comfort and safety is my number one priority. I have studied newborn safety and I will only do poses that I am confident doing. I usually do 4 set ups at the session, plus I love to capture little details, such as lips, fingers, and toes. If baby has a sibling, I will start by posing the baby with the sibling and then move on to parents shots. Once we finish family poses, it’s a good idea for one of the parents to take sibling home or for a walk, so we could concentrate on the newborn session.
Newborn sessions require a very quiet and calm atmosphere. I will be using white noise / baby shusher at the session. We have to keep the baby as relaxed and sleepy as possible.

ANSWER:

In the event of an illness, please call as soon as possible to reschedule. If I get sick, during the week of your session, I will notify the client and we will have to reschedule, as I put baby’s safety first. .
