What’s Included in Your Tiny Dreamers Studio Photography Session
When you book a photography session at Tiny Dreamers Studio in the Greater Sacramento area, you’re choosing more than just a photographer—you’re choosing a comprehensive service that takes care of every detail. Understanding exactly what’s included in your session helps you arrive prepared and excited for your experience with us.
I’ve designed our sessions to be stress-free and all-inclusive. With over 15 years of experience as mom of two, I understand how important these moments are to your family.
Here’s exactly what you can expect when you book your session with Tiny Dreamers Studio!
Professional Hair and Makeup Services
Every session at Tiny Dreamers Studio includes complimentary professional hair and makeup services. You can arrive in your comfortable clothes and let our talented makeup artist take care of the rest. This service is designed to help you feel confident and beautiful during your session, whether you’re expecting your first baby or celebrating a milestone.
Our makeup artist specializes in photography makeup that looks natural and beautiful both in person and on camera. This means you don’t need to worry about doing your own hair and makeup before your session—we’ve got you covered.
Access to Our Curated Client Closet
One of the most stress-free aspects of booking with Tiny Dreamers Studio is our extensive wardrobe collection. For maternity photography sessions, you’ll have access to our curated client closet full of gowns and looks made to flatter every stage of pregnancy.
For cake smash photography sessions, we provide access to our baby closet with over 100 adorable outfits to choose from. This means you don’t need to shop for special outfits or worry about what to wear—everything is provided for you.
All wardrobe pieces are professionally cleaned and maintained to ensure you have access to beautiful, high-quality options for your session.
Custom Session Planning
Before your session, you’ll receive a styling questionnaire that helps us design the perfect look just for you. This questionnaire covers your style preferences, favorite colors, and overall vision for your session. Based on your responses, we’ll curate everything from gowns and outfits to props and backdrops.
For newborn photography sessions, this planning process is especially important since we’ll discuss timing, logistics, and any special requests you might have. The ideal time for newborn sessions is within the first two weeks after birth, and we’ll work with you to schedule around your baby’s arrival.
Props and Backdrops Provided
All props, backdrops, and accessories are provided for your session. Whether you’re looking for soft and dreamy setups or bold and glamorous looks, we have everything needed to bring your vision to life. For cake smash sessions, we even provide the matching cake along with coordinating props and themed backdrops.
Comfortable Studio Environment
Tiny Dreamers Studio is designed with your family’s comfort in mind. Our beautiful sitting room offers a cozy space to relax during your session, complete with a dedicated play area for little ones and complimentary snacks and drinks.
Just steps away, our separate shooting room provides a calm, focused space where we’ll capture your images. This thoughtful setup ensures a relaxed, enjoyable experience for everyone, especially important when working with babies and young children.
The studio is always kept at a comfortable temperature, which is especially important for newborn sessions when babies need to be warm and comfortable.
No-Rush Session Approach
Unlike many photography studios, we don’t operate on tight schedules. Newborn sessions typically last three hours, allowing plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and capturing multiple setups without feeling rushed.
This relaxed approach is essential when working with babies and young children. We follow your baby’s cues, taking breaks when needed and working around feeding schedules and nap times. The goal is always to create beautiful images while ensuring everyone feels comfortable and stress-free.
Family Inclusion Options
Family and sibling photos are always welcome in your session. We love including those sweet connections and typically incorporate family members into several setups if you’d like. Partners, siblings, and even pets can be included in your session to create a comprehensive record of this special time in your family’s life.
For maternity sessions, we include time for both solo portraits and partner or family shots. This flexibility allows you to capture exactly the images you want while accommodating your family’s preferences.
Session Timing and Booking
We recommend booking your session as far in advance as possible. We only book 12 sessions per month, which allows us to give each family a wonderful, non-rushed experience. This limited booking approach ensures you receive the attention and care your session deserves.
For maternity sessions, the best time to schedule is between 28 and 34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round but you’re still feeling comfortable enough to pose and move with ease.
For newborn sessions, it’s best to book while you’re still expecting so we can reserve space around your due date. Once your baby arrives, just send us a message and we’ll lock in the perfect session time.
What to Expect During Your Session
When you arrive at Tiny Dreamers Studio, you’ll start with hair and makeup while we finalize the session details. The relaxed atmosphere and comfortable environment help put everyone at ease, especially important when working with newborns and young children.
Throughout the session, I’ll provide gentle guidance to help you feel natural and comfortable. With over 15 years of experience photographing families, I know how to work with babies and children to capture beautiful, authentic moments.
All safety protocols are carefully followed, especially during newborn sessions. Every prop and setup is inspected for safety, and I never attempt poses that could compromise your baby’s wellbeing.
