FAQ
When is the best time to book my newborn photography session?
It is never too early to get on our newborn photo shoot schedule!
Most clients book with us in the second or third trimester of their pregnancy. We only accept a limited amount of newborns each month to account for the extra wiggle room we need in our calendar to accommodate each baby's arrival. Generally, we are booked for newborn sessions 4-6 weeks in advance.
How soon will my newborn session take place after birth?
We like to photograph newborns within the first week to 2 weeks of birth. During this timeframe, newborns are quite sleepy, snuggly and still curly from the womb and are more easily molded into those squishy newborn poses. A few days prior to your actual session date, Alee will send you an "at home prep" email that just goes over a few things to best prepare for your newborn photo shoot with us.
How long will my newborn session last?
Our newborn session last for about 2 hours, We always allow for plenty of time for soothing and feedings during our sessions, and take our time with each baby. Our sessions are never rushed and we go at baby's pace.
My baby is already past two weeks old, is it too late?
It is usually still possible to capture your baby outside the two weeks window, however, the images we capture for you might not be similar to the newborn images you see on our website. Our newborn portfolio contains images of babies 7-14 days old. It will be likely that some of your images could be of an awake baby, and maybe not as many asleep, curly "newborn" images. After two weeks old, newborns tend to be less sleepy and wake easier while be posed or wrapped. For these sessions, we plan for more swaddled and wrapped set ups
Do you include siblings in your newborn sessions?
Siblings can be included in session at additional cost as it is stated on our newborn session package.
We like to remind parents that while we always try to capture great sibling shots, at the end of the day it will really depend on what the little ones are game for. Sibling shots can be great when they work, but we like to stress that they are not the focus of our newborn sessions. We have had a rough go with sibling shots in the past- with siblings wanting nothing to do with baby or not wanting to be photographed at all. So we just like to mention that it can be a 50/50 chance with the sibling shots.
We try for about 30 minutes, and if they aren't having it we move on, as we don't like to take too much time away from the baby only shots. Once their shots are done, we recommend that someone is available to mind the sibling. Newborn sessions are much too long and hot for siblings!
Do you have clothing for newborns and props?
Yes we have tons! You really do not need to bring anything. You can view our past creations to get an idea of the many things we have.
For special requests,
please let us know ahead of time before booking.
What if I do not want my photos to be shared online?
Don't worry, please just make this known to us on the day of your session or Mark "No" on your questionnaire during your booking process if you do not want any images available publicly online.
Also if you change your mind, you can let us know by emailing us or contacting us via our whatsapp line
