I recommend maternity portraits around 28-32 weeks, but as long as you're still pregnant, it's not too late for a session.

I recommend doing newborn portraits around 5-14 days after birth. However, if you're already past that, we can still do a session. I'm always happy to tentatively schedule a date and then adjust for when your baby actually arrives!

We'll choose a tentative date about 5-10 days after your due date. Usually on a weekday around 10am. Once your baby arrives, just let me know and we can adjust the date as needed!

My sessions are very laid back. We have plenty of time to get good photos so you don't need to feel rushed.

For maternity sessions, we'll do some photos with just you and some with you and your husband. I'll walk you through posing and give you guys some fun prompts to get natural smiles!

For newborn sessions, we'll take it slow. I allocate extra time so you can feed or change your newborn in the middle of the session if you need to. This session will be a lot of snuggles and sweet interactions. We usually work by a window in the nursery, living room, and/or master bedroom.

For sessions with young kids, I don't try to force things and I work with what kids are giving me. The best thing you can do is just relax and be present and playful with your kiddos during the session!

Don't stress about looking at the camera the whole time. I'll be sure we have a few where everyone is looking.

All digital galleries are delivered within 2 weeks.

If you've opted in to a design appointment, we'll schedule a time about 2 weeks out to discuss wall art, albums, and other print options!

Physical products can be expected to arrive within 6-8 weeks (often earlier).

In general, I suggest solids or small prints in neutral colors or rich tones. I also recommend a variety of textures such as cotton, lace, velvet, linen, and knits.

I recommend dresses for mom because they are so beautiful, feminine, and flattering to your ever changing body.

For baby I recommend outfits that will fully cover their diapers and keep their fingers and toes uncovered so we can capture those little details. I love a simple swaddle, bubble, romper, or gown. A sweater with bloomers or pants is also an amazing option for the colder months.

I'm more than happy to help you with styling yourself and the whole family. I have a client closet of dresses that you are welcome to use as well!
