How do I book a session with Tiny Dreamers Studio?
Booking your dream photography session is simple. You can start by visiting our Contact page to fill out the inquiry form or schedule a complimentary consultation call. We recommend booking your maternity and newborn sessions several months in advance to ensure availability, as we only book a limited number of sessions each month to provide a personalized experience for every family.
What is included in a photography session?
Every session at Tiny Dreamers Studio is an all-inclusive, luxury experience. Your session fee of $1000 includes a full, un-timed photo shoot, a same-day image reveal and your favorite 10 images as high resolution digital files. We also provide access to our extensive client closet, professional hair and makeup for mom, custom-designed sets, and all necessary props and accessories. You can find a detailed breakdown on our blog post, “What’s Included in Your Tiny Dreamers Studio Photography Session“.
When is the best time to schedule a maternity photoshoot?
The ideal time for a Maternity Photography session is between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. During this period, your baby bump is beautifully round, and you are likely to feel your most comfortable and radiant. For more tips on preparing for your session, read our guide on “How to Prepare for Your Maternity Photo Session“.
What should I wear for my maternity session?
There is no need to worry about finding the perfect outfit! We provide access to our extensive client closet, which features over 100 stunning gowns, outfits, and fabrics specifically selected to flatter expectant mothers. Professional hair and makeup services are also included to ensure you look and feel your absolute best. This is all part of the luxury experience at Tiny Dreamers Studio.
Can my partner and other children participate in the maternity session?
Absolutely! We warmly encourage partners and older siblings to be a part of your Maternity Photography session. Capturing the love and connection of your growing family is a beautiful way to celebrate this special time. We even have a selection of beautiful dresses for girls aged 1-10. For more inspiration, check out our blog post on “My Favorite Ideas for Maternity Photos with Older Children“.
When should I book my newborn photography session?
To ensure availability, we highly recommend booking your Newborn Photography session during your second or early third trimester. We will pencil in your due date and then finalize the session date once your little one arrives. This allows us to capture those precious, sleepy newborn poses within the ideal timeframe.
What is the best age for newborn photos?
The ideal window for posed newborn photography is within the first 5 to 21 days after birth. During this time, babies are typically sleepier, more flexible, and retain that classic, curled-up newborn look. However, we can capture beautiful images at any age. Learn more by reading our article, “Capturing Memories: What Age Should You Do a Baby Photoshoot?“.
Do I need to bring props or outfits for my newborn session?
You don’t need to bring a thing! Our studio is fully stocked with a wide variety of high-quality props, outfits, wraps, headbands, and bonnets for your newborn. We take care of every detail so you can relax and enjoy the experience. You can get a better idea of our style by viewing our Newborn Photography portfolio.
How long is a newborn session, and are family photos included?
Our newborn sessions are never rushed. We book only one family per day, so there are no time limits. This allows us to create a calm, stress-free environment and take all the time needed for feeding, soothing, and capturing a wide variety of poses. Family and sibling photos are always included in our signature newborn sessions. We believe these are some of the most important images we can capture. Read our “Tips for Including Siblings in Newborn Photos” for more information.
What is a Cake Smash session, and what does it include?
A Cake Smash Photography session is a fun and messy way to celebrate your baby’s first birthday! Our signature cake smash sessions are fully customized to your chosen theme or style. We provide a custom-designed set, a matching smash cake, access to our baby closet with over 100 outfits, two classic portrait backdrops, and a “splash” bubble bath cleanup in a tiny tub. Family and sibling photos are also included. For inspiration, read “Why Every Sacramento Parent Should Book a Cake Smash Photoshoot“.
What if my baby has an allergy and can’t have the cake?
Your baby’s safety and well-being are our top priorities. If your baby has a food allergy, please let us know during the planning process. We can work with a baker who specializes in allergy-friendly cakes, or you are welcome to provide your own cake to ensure it meets your baby’s specific dietary needs. We will coordinate with you to make sure the session is safe and enjoyable for everyone.
How do you ensure the safety of my newborn during the photoshoot?
As a mother and an experienced newborn photographer with over 15 years of experience, I prioritize safety above all else. I am known as the “baby whisperer” for my ability to soothe and safely handle newborns. For advanced poses that require extra support, such as the “froggie” or swing poses, I use professional compositing techniques. This means the baby is safely supported at all times, and the final image is created by merging multiple photos together in post-production. You can rest assured that your baby is in safe, experienced hands.
What happens if my baby cries or is fussy during the session?
Please do not worry if your baby is fussy! It’s completely normal. We schedule only one session per day to ensure we have plenty of time to soothe, feed, and comfort your baby as needed. My 15 years of experience have taught me countless techniques to calm even the most unsettled babies. We will work at your baby’s pace to ensure a relaxed and positive experience for everyone.
How many images will I receive, and how are they delivered?
Our all-inclusive sessions provide you with the complete gallery of high-resolution digital images from your photoshoot. The number of images can vary depending on the flow of the session, but we focus on quality and capturing a wide variety of beautiful moments. You will see your images during a same-day reveal and they will be delivered via a private online gallery where you can download them. You will also receive a complimentary keepsake book of your images.
Do you offer prints, albums, or wall art?
Yes, we do! While our sessions include the digital files, we believe in the power of tangible artwork. We offer a curated selection of high-quality, heirloom products, including statement wall art, luxury albums, and other keepsakes designed to be cherished for generations. These items can be purchased separately to beautifully display your family’s story in your home.
What is your retouching process like?
We provide magazine-style image retouching on all your final images. This includes gentle skin smoothing, removal of blemishes, and other subtle enhancements to ensure you and your baby look your absolute best, while still maintaining a natural and timeless feel. Our goal is to create polished, professional portraits that you will be proud to display.
What should I do to prepare for my session?
We handle almost everything for you! However, we do provide some helpful tips to ensure your session goes as smoothly as possible. For newborn sessions, we have a detailed guide on “How to Prepare Your Newborn for Their First Photo Session“. For maternity sessions, you can review our “How to Prepare for Your Maternity Photo Session” guide. The most important thing is to relax and get excited for a wonderful experience!
