I am so happy to have found Lavish Photography to capture our newborn family photo shoot. Dave did an amazing job making our toddler laugh and was incredibly patient and kind through the whole process. Highly recommend, our photos came out amazing!

There are two lovely options. If celebrating the actual 100-day milestone is most important to you, we recommend scheduling close to your baby’s 100th day. If portraits are your priority, we often recommend 120–130 days, when babies typically have stronger head control and are more comfortable posing in hanbok.
When is the best time to schedule a Baek-il session?
We recommend planning your session around your baby’s schedule—not the adults’. The best time is usually after your baby’s first nap, when they’re well-rested, fed, and happiest.
Every baby’s rhythm is different, so we’ll work with you to choose a time when your little one is most likely to be comfortable, alert, and ready for photos.
What time should we schedule our Baek-il session?
Don’t worry—we expect it! We intentionally leave about 30 minutes of buffer time for feeding, soothing, or simply giving your baby a break. Even on fussy days, there are always sweet little moments in between that we can capture.
What if my baby cries or gets fussy during the session?
For studio and in-home sessions, we’re happy to reschedule if your baby becomes ill. Your new date will generally need to be a weekday, although we’ll accommodate a weekend when availability allows.
What if my baby gets sick?
Absolutely!
We photograph in-home Baek-il sessions throughout Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Washington DC in homes of all sizes. Before your session, we’ll ask for a few photos of your space so we can choose the best areas and plan our lighting ahead of time.
Can we have an in-home Baek-il session if our home is small?
