The Session

When you book a session with me, my time is yours. My goal is to create images that you LOVE and, of course, to have fun! The sessions are never rushed. I understand that children can be shy or uncooperative and that babies have a schedule all their own. I won’t be stressed and you shouldn’t be either!

Sessions generally last 1-2 hours and can include wardrobe changes, snacks, potty breaks and cuddles. They are held on-location, either in your home or at a favorite park or other outdoor location. They’re best if held in the early morning or late afternoons but please take naptimes into account — well-rested children are more important than perfect lighting.

Newborn sessions may last a bit longer, sometimes up to four hours, allowing plenty of time for nursing, burping, changing and patiently waiting. I won’t be in a hurry and it’s best if you aren’t either.

What to Wear

Dress comfortably! It’s hard to have fun in starchy dress clothes and itchy hair bows. Bright and bold colors and patterns, stripes, polka dots, textures and fun accessories (hats, scarves, tights, boots) all make for great images as do simple sundresses and tshirts and jeans. Bare feet are great! Logos and cartoon characters are best left at home (sorry Spongebob).

The weeest ones look best in nothing at all! Textured wraps and naked skin are perfect. Older babies look great in sleepers or just a diaper with a simple diaper cover.

What Happens Next

Two to three weeks after your shoot, I will provide you with a private online gallery for viewing, sharing and ordering. The gallery will be active for 7 days. Galleries can be published for an additional 7 days with a charge of $25.

Orders will be placed once your payment is received in full. Please allow 2-3 weeks for print delivery.

Your purchased images will remain on file for one year should you find that you need enlargements at a later date. Images that are not purchased will be stored for 30 days.
