FAQs
The ideal time to photograph a newborn is five days to three weeks after birth. I recommend booking your session two to three months in advance to ensure availability. If your baby is already here and you have not booked your session, please get in touch with me, and I will do my best to get you in.
If your baby is older than three weeks — don’t worry! You can still have a newborn-like session.
Every photographer has a unique style, feel, and aesthetic in their photos. So before booking a session with me, I want to make sure that you resonate with my work so that I can meet your expectations and deliver photos that you’ll love. That’s why I’ve put together a diverse Newborn Portfolio section so you can get a feel of my style in different setups.
When scheduling, choose the date closest to your due date, and I will pencil you in for that date, ensuring you have a spot.
And because babies come on their schedule, we will pick an actual shoot date once your baby is born (typically five days to three weeks after birth).

You’ll start by picking the date for your maternity session from my booking calendar. When scheduling, I will also ask you for your due date, and I will pencil you in for that date, ensuring you have a spot. Then, we will pick an actual shoot date once your baby is born (typically five days to three weeks after birth).
See additional details and sample photos from the Maternity + Newborn Package here.
For newborn studio sessions, I have all the props you’ll ever need: headbands, wraps, bonnets, crates, beds, backdrops, etc. The props are purchased from professional vendors and have been tested for safety. After you book your session, I will work with you to pick the theme for the session that will determine the props I’ll be using. I customize every session based on your input.
For in-home sessions, there is an optional add-on of posed baby shots with props. After you book your session, you will pick a few setups and I will bring the necessary props to your home.
Honestly, I'm not natural in front of the camera either, so I understand. I will guide, queue, and direct you the entire time, so you don't have to worry about a thing.
If you plan on bringing anything to the session, I recommend considering items only of sentimental value. I don’t recommend purchasing your props for the session, as they may not have been designed and tested for safety and aesthetics.
After completing your booking, you will receive an email with prep info and styling tips, including an online styling service, to help you look your best for the session.
Please, do not worry about your house not being in tip-top shape. We’ll do most of the photos in front of windows, in the baby’s nursery if it’s already set up, and in your bed (if you like).
My newborn studio is located in Redmond. My clients typically travel from all over the greater Seattle area, including Bellevue, Kirkland, Sammamish, Issaquah, Bothell, Kenmore, Shoreline, and even as far as Tacoma and Everett.
For the in-home newborn session, I travel to any location within a 25-mile radius of Redmond. Travel fees may apply for locations further away.
Each Newborn Session includes a base number of hand-edited images. After your session, when you see the proof gallery, you will have the option to purchase additional hand-edited photos. They are available at $20 per photo. Information on purchasing additional images will be included with your online proof gallery.
In addition, for the Deluxe Session, a partial gallery upgrade is available for $200. It includes all the natural images of parents with the baby (no posed shots with props) with a standard color edit (exactly as they appear in your proofs gallery, no hand-edit). Photos will be in full print resolution with print rights.
Similarly, for In-Home Lifestyle Session, a full-gallery upgrade is available for $200. It includes all the images in your proof gallery with a standard color edit (as they appear in your proofs gallery, no hand-edit). Photos will be in full print resolution with print rights.
(Also, see the next question for more information about the difference between hand editing and color editing.)
Color editing includes an overall color adjustment to make the photos appear brighter, more colorful, and properly exposed.
In addition to the color edit, hand-editing includes basic skin smoothing, removal of blemishes, bruises, and a few fly-aways, and more detailed color adjustments.
Payments are made by credit card. A $100 deposit is required to book your session.
The remaining balance is due at the time of the session. An invoice reminder will be emailed to you a day before your session. The proof gallery is delivered after the payment is made in full.
You will receive your online proof gallery a few days after your session. You will have seven days to pick your images for the hand-edit. Seven days after you submit your selections, your hand-edited images will be delivered via a separate online gallery.
If you are purchasing the full gallery upgrade, you will receive the download link within 48 hours of payment.
