Milestone: Milestones are quick and easy.  Usually your little one is fascinated by my giant light and all my props in 30 min we have a full session, no sweat. 

Newborn: Newborn sessions tend to be longer and there is more sweat involved.  Although its usually very relaxed and we go with the flow of baby. If he doesn't want to be wrapped, we don't wrap.  If he wants to nurse, he nurses.  I usually start out by wrapping baby to help calm them down and then we move on to bean bag poses with a cute outfit.  With several different props in between.  This is not a stressful time, even babies who refuse to even blink have plenty of nice images in their galleries.  

In a perfect situation baby will sleep through most of their session.  If you live near me feed baby beforehand and dress him in something that can easily come off.  Or if its hot enough just a diaper.  But as soon as you get here you can top them of with milk so he is extra sleepy. I suggest a bath that morning and maybe a little more play time to wear him out. Also feeding baby right before you leave your house can help. If this is a milestone shoot bring baby nice and rested.   

My newborn sessions are usually Monday at 9am. I only book 4 a month, so as soon as you know you want to book me do it right away! Milestone sessions are either Sundays at 2:30. Im also only booking 4 milestones a month so schedule yours early! Other times can be arranged if these do not work out and Im not booked for that week.

You will pay in full the day of via check, cash, or card.

You do not need to bring anything. I have everything you need (except maybe diapers!)
For toddlers bring whatever you want used in their session!

I was a cloth diaper mama for many years and I remember a time in my life when the thought of a paper diaper on my precious child’s rear made me shiver.  Those times are LONG gone but I understand that feeling! That being said though we need paper diapers for the session.  Less bum chub the better.  My little outfits can only fit so much! If you don't have any diapers let me know and I can get some beforehand.  

Of course! Above all I want you to love your images, so if you have something in mind let me know! I would prefer to know in advance though so I can plan as well. 

Yes! Just let me know in advance if possible. I usually plan my sessions the week before so if I know before your baby gets here that will help.

My personal preference is white/cream. But really its up to you.

For your session fee you my time and lovely talent. Digitals and or prints are purchased separately. A $250 minimum order is required though for any photos to be released.

Ideally you will have a sneak peak the day of or the next day and your gallery done in a week or two.  If that is not going to be the case I will let you know!

I have a handy dandy website that you can just put your email in and it sends you the downloads.  You have to be on a PC though, its much too big for your phone. 

Outside of selling your images for profit you can do whatever you want to do.  Plaster it on your wall, make a billboard in your front yard or make a blanket with it; whatever! 

Lets turn this into a statement: PLEASE share your images.  Almost off of my business is from word of mouth so your sharing is my bread and butter! 

I do! I can do custom orders and you can order prints right from your gallery.  I also have some discounted packages that you can choose from if you want. 

I do offer Family Photos during my newborn shoots, and I can snap a quick one at a milestone session as well. I also have at least 2 mini sessions a year for families; those book fast though so sign up early!

This is case by case.  The general answer is that I do not travel to your home.  Mostly bc my lighting is too big to carry around and the quality isn't the same without it.  But I have done them before, so just tell me your situation and we will see. 

I may when its not 100 degrees!

This is another case by case, I dont typically do events. BUT its going to depend on where it is and when it is. 

As long as it doesn't go against my moral code I may be open to it! Feel free to make suggestions! 

Because of my striking personality??? I want people to be able to have beautiful classic images of their babies so they can remember how squishy and sweet they were in the years to come, but not remember the day you took those pictures as a day of pain.  I am very down-to-earth, maybe a little too much. I aim to have your session to be relaxed (although hot!) and slightly fun.  But I mostly want you to pick me because you adore my work.
