Maternity

Please message me with any other questions you may have. 

The ideal time is between 28–34 weeks of pregnancy. Your belly will have a beautiful, round shape, and you’ll still feel comfortable enough to enjoy the session.


It’s best to book in your second trimester to secure your preferred date and allow time to plan outfits and locations.


Absolutely! We want to make sure that we capture all of the shots that are important to you. Before the shoot, we will discuss your vision and any specific requests you may have.


Flowy dresses, form-fitting gowns, and neutral or soft tones photograph beautifully. Avoid busy patterns or large logos so the focus stays on you.


Newborn

The ideal time is within the first 5–14 days after birth. During this period, babies are usually sleepier, more flexible, and easier to pose in those adorable curled-up positions.


I recommend booking during your pregnancy, ideally in your second or third trimester. We’ll reserve your due date, then adjust once your baby arrives.


Sessions typically last 2–3 hours. This allows plenty of time for feeding, cuddles, and breaks so your baby stays happy and comfortable.


Neutral, soft colors work beautifully. Avoid large logos or busy patterns. I’m happy to guide you with a style guide before your session.


Sitter / 6 Months

A sitter session is a milestone photoshoot for babies around 6–9 months old when they can sit unassisted but aren’t walking yet. It’s a wonderful stage to capture their smiles, curiosity, and personality.


Once your baby is confidently sitting (usually around 6–8 months), it’s time to book! I recommend reserving your spot a few weeks in advance to secure your preferred date.


Absolutely! We can include a few family or sibling shots at the beginning before focusing on your little one.


1 year / Smash Cake

Sessions can include classic portraits, a fun “playtime” segment, and optional add-ons like a smash cake. I will capture your child’s personality, milestones, and all those sweet little details.


Smash cake sessions are usually scheduled about 2–3 weeks before your baby’s first birthday. This gives time to receive your edited images before the big celebration.


For safety and allergy reasons, I recommend parents bring their own cake.


Make sure they’ve had a nap, a light meal or snack, and are dressed in something easy to change. For smash cake sessions, let your baby try a little cake or frosting at home first so the texture isn’t a surprise.


Sitter sessions usually last 45–60 minutes.

 Babies have short attention spans, so I keep it fun and quick.
