Booking is easy! Simply visit our Contact page to send us an inquiry. We recommend booking maternity and newborn sessions several months in advance to ensure availability. For other sessions like baby milestones or cake smashes, booking 1-2 months ahead is usually sufficient.

The ideal time for a Maternity Photography session is typically between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. During this window, your baby bump is beautifully defined, and you’re usually still feeling relatively comfortable. Read our blog post on When Should You Have A Maternity Photoshoot? for more details.

Don’t worry about wardrobe! We provide access to our extensive Client Closet featuring over 100 beautiful gowns, outfits, and fabrics specifically chosen for maternity sessions. We also offer professional hair and makeup to complete your look. Check out ideas in our Must-Have Outfits for Your Maternity Photoshoot blog post.

Absolutely! We encourage partners and older siblings to join the Maternity Photography session to capture beautiful family connections before the new baby arrives. We even have fancy dresses available for little girls aged 1-10.

It’s best to book your Newborn Photography session during your second or early third trimester. We pencil in your due date and then finalize the exact session date once your baby arrives. This ensures we can photograph your baby within the ideal timeframe.

The ideal window for posed newborn photography is typically within the first 5-21 days after birth. During this time, babies are sleepier, more flexible, and retain that curled-up newborn look. However, beautiful photos can be captured at any age! Learn more about timing in our post: When Is the Best Time to Capture Newborn Photos?

No, we provide everything needed for your Newborn Photography session! This includes a wide variety of props, backdrops, wraps, hats, headbands, and tiny outfits from our Baby Closet. We also offer wardrobe options for mom and sisters, plus professional hair and makeup for mom. See some prop ideas here: Best Newborn Photoshoot Props You Can’t Miss.

Yes, our signature newborn sessions include photos with parents and siblings. Capturing those early family connections is incredibly important, and we ensure these moments are beautifully preserved alongside your baby’s individual portraits. Read tips on Including Your Partner in Newborn Photography.

Our Baby Photography sessions, often called “sitter sessions,” are designed for babies typically between 6-10 months old who can sit up confidently but aren’t yet walking. This stage is full of personality, smiles, and adorable expressions, making it a perfect time for photos!

These sessions focus on capturing your baby’s emerging personality. We use various simple props and backdrops, offer access to our Baby Closet for cute outfits, and may include fun elements like a milk bath. Family and sibling photos can also be included. Check out The Best Baby Photo Ideas for the First Year for inspiration.

A Cake Smash Photography session is a fun and messy way to celebrate your baby’s first birthday! We create a custom-designed set, provide a matching cake, and let your little one dig in while we capture their adorable reactions. Learn more in our Complete Guide to Cake Smash Photography.

Our signature cake smash sessions are all-inclusive! They feature a custom set (or balloon garland), a custom cake, access to our Baby Closet, pre-smash portrait photos, family/sibling photos, the cake smash itself, and a fun “splash” bubble bath cleanup in a tiny tub afterwards. Explore different Smash Themes we offer.

Most families schedule the Cake Smash Photography session around 10-11 months if they want the photos back in time for the baby’s actual first birthday party or invitations. However, we can do them anytime around the first birthday milestone. See our post: When Is The Best Time For A Cake Smash Photoshoot?

Session lengths vary. Newborn sessions are baby-led and have no strict time limit, often lasting 2-4 hours to allow for feeding and comforting. Maternity, baby, and cake smash sessions usually range from 1-2 hours. We prioritize a relaxed, unhurried Experience.

We believe in tangible memories. While high-resolution digital files are included in our signature sessions, we specialize in creating beautiful heirloom products. This includes keepsake books, custom albums, stunning wall art (canvases, metal prints, framed prints), and other gift items. We offer Same Day Image Viewing where you select your favorite images and products.
