F. A. Q.
Q. When do I book a newborn session?
A. Soon! I take a limited number of newborn clients based on due dates. The best time to do sleepy, curled up baby portraits is between day 5-14. These must be set up in advance to be prepared.
Please don't wait until your baby is born- it will be too late-please call in your second trimester if at all possible.
Q. What if my baby is fussy during our session?
A, No worries. There are many techniques for soothing babies to sleep. The detailed information guide will give you tips for a successful session. We will allow extra time to console or feed your baby if needed. Patience is usually the best cure. However, if your little one is sick, or we simply cannot get the images we need for some unforeseen reason - you have my guarantee. I will reschedule you or give you a refund.
Q. What about photoshop?
A. I do a good bit of editing to newborn photographs. Babies in the age range of the first two weeks will usually have uneven skin tones, and scratches from little fingernails. I generally will leave anything that is a permanent feature (birthmark, freckle, etc.) but 'erase' any extra baby acne or scratches. I usually take the yellow or red tint out of a baby's skin as well. We can discuss any concerns or questions about photoshopping in our initial consultation.
Q. How do I book my session, and what if I have to cancel?
A. Newborns are tentatively scheduled for the due date, and will be adjusted as needed (since this is partly up to baby!) To reserve any appointment, a deposit (session fee) must be received. This is usually $100. If you are a doing a Just Born or First Year plan, this amount applies to your total, and is not in addition to the prices for those plans. If your child is sick, please notify us as soon as possible to reschedule for the next available time slot. Deposits are not refundable, but we will work with you to reschedule for a convenient time.
Q. Can I share my photographs online?
A. Absolutely! After you choose your proofs, I will edit those photos and send you the files. Each image is given individual attention and I spend hours editing to make sure your portraits are perfect! I usually do a quick edit for proofs to give you an idea of how your finished piece will look. After you have placed an order, each image will be carefully edited, along with any artwork you desire to give you a beautiful finished product. I want to be sure that my clients are able to use their portraits and enjoy them for many years. Also, feel free to tag yourself in any photo that is shared on my social media. But please respect copyright laws, and do not crop or edit these photos.
Q. What will I need to bring to the session?
A. Most of what we will need is all set up. After we discuss color palettes and plans, I will have some wraps and backgrounds and accessories ready for your session. Extra diapers, milk and a beautiful baby should be the only necessities. A pacifier is extremely helpful if you are using them at home.
