FAQ:
Booking a session should feel exciting, not overwhelming. Here are a few of the most common questions clients have before reserving their maternity, newborn, or milestone session.

When should I book my maternity session?

Maternity sessions are typically best scheduled between 28 and 34 weeks, when your belly is beautifully visible and you are still comfortable enough to enjoy the experience.

When should I book my newborn session?

Most newborn sessions take place within the first 7 to 21 days after birth, when babies are still very sleepy and can be gently posed. If you prefer to wait until baby is a little older, I’m always happy to create a more natural, lifestyle-inspired session for your family.

What if my baby arrives early or late?

That is completely expected. Newborn sessions are reserved based on your due date, then finalized once baby arrives. This allows flexibility while still holding space on the calendar for you.

Do you provide wraps, props, or wardrobe?

Newborn sessions include carefully selected wraps, props, and styling elements for baby. A selection of studio pieces and styling options may also be available for mothers, depending on the session.

Can parents and siblings be included?

Yes. Parents and siblings are always welcome to be part of the session. These images often become some of the most meaningful portraits in your gallery.

Do I need to know how to pose?

Not at all. Every session is fully guided, so you do not need to worry about posing or knowing what to do. My goal is to make the experience feel easy, comfortable, and natural.

What should I bring to my newborn session?

In most cases, you only need to bring the essentials for baby, such as diapers, wipes, bottles or feeding items, and a pacifier if baby uses one. I’ll guide you through anything else you may need before your session.

Can I purchase additional images?

Yes, additional images or gallery upgrades may be available after viewing your proof gallery.
