I have pre-booked my newborn, now what? What if my baby comes early or late?

We ask that all clients e-mail or call within 24-48 hours of having your baby. Most babies are booked anywhere from 5-10 or even 12 or 14 days depending on the baby’s weight. Letting us know when you have your baby early enough allows room for rescheduling and adjusting.

I missed the newborn window and my baby is now 2 months old, do you take them?

We photography babies of any age. Your baby is no longer a newborn however you can still book a session. Please understand the baby most likely will not be able to do newborn poses or wraps and they are usually awake and do not cooperate as well.

Maternity questions

When is the best time to take belly pictures?

For belly love images it’s best to schedule your session around week 32-34. If this is not your first pregnancy you can also schedule it earlier but I do not recommend before week 28 as your belly will still growa lot in the last few weeks.

Can I include my family in the session?

Yes, you can include your partner and/or your children at the session. Please notify me in advance if you want to include your family that I can prepare accordingly.

Can I bring my own props?

Yes, you can bring your own props if the session will take place outside. Due to the current situation I can at the moment not accept any props in the home studio.
