If you prefer the session to be held on weekends, we recommend at least two months in advance. Otherwise, we will be flexible in meeting your desired session date.

The best time for a newborn session is within 3-14days after birth.
There are circumstances when your baby may have to be photographed later
(such as a longer hospital stay.),but in general we want to photograph your baby as soon as after birth as possible.This gives us the best chance to get those sweet,sleepy,curly shots.
Ofcause we always work for those open awake shots too!
Is there anything I need to prepare before the session?
Our staff will come to your location for the session. There is nothing in particular that you will need to prepare for the photo shoot. However, you will want to have plenty of baby supplies (baby food, diapers, etc.) and clothing.

We will have the room temperature set higher than normal so that it is warm enough for the baby. We will also bring with us a heater specifically for your baby. Your baby is our priority number one.
