Frequently Asked Questions

How soon will we receive our photos?

Can siblings or grandparents join the session?

What happens if my baby is fussy or needs a break?

What happens if we need to reschedule due to weather or illness?

Do you have any promotions for returning families?

How soon will we receive our photos?

Within a week of your session, you’ll receive a small sneak peek —just enough to make sure you don’t forget any of those sweet little moments. Your full gallery will be delivered within three weeks, thoughtfully hand-edited so every image feels cohesive, warm, and true to your baby’s story.
You’ll receive a private online gallery where you can view, download, and share your photos with the people who love your little one just as much as you do.

Can siblings or grandparents join the session?

All studio and in-home sessions are priced for a family of four.
Additional family members are welcome — there is a $25 fee per person.

What happens if my baby is fussy or needs a break?

I always build a 30-minute buffer into every session. If your baby needs a break — whether it’s feeding, soothing, or just a moment to reset — take all the time you need. I keep the schedule flexible so your little one can feel comfortable and happy throughout the session.

What happens if we need to reschedule due to weather or illness?

Life happens — especially with little ones.
For studio or in-home sessions, just let me know if something comes up. I’m happy to reschedule and will do my best to find a new time that works for your family.
Weekend rescheduling isn’t available, but I can always move your session to a weekday. Your comfort (and your kiddo’s) always comes first.

Do you have any promotions for returning families?

Yes! I love welcoming families back. If you're a returning client, just mention it when you book — I always offer a special discount for repeat sessions.

If there’s another promotion running at the same time, I’ll make sure you receive whichever discount gives you the greater savings.
