Cherish This Time

Celebrating the beauty of pregnancy and the fleeting first days of life

Welcome, Mom-to-Be

These moments are gone in a blink of an eye.

Before you know it, your family expands and a whole new phase of life begins. Someday, your new baby will cherish portraits that capture the perfect moments of anticipation before their birthday.

Then the big day arrives and you meet your baby for the first time. Perfect in every way, tiny and beautiful from the adorable toes to the cutest nose you've ever seen. Every day that passes in those first few weeks bring changes. It's hard to believe, but in a couple weeks you'll notice they already look different. Forever remember every tiny detail of this fleeting stage with a perfectly crafted newborn session.

Every detail of these bespoke sessions is handled for you, because we know you've got lots to attend to in the weeks before and after your baby's arrival.

WHEN TO BOOK

MATERNITY

The earlier you call once you know you are expecting, the more likely it is for the studio to have availability in the proper timeframe. The range I encourage most to be photographed is anywhere from 32-36 weeks.

Call well in advance of the suggested range. Our secret-to-success "Style and Design Consultation" is scheduled 1-2 weeks in advance of your portrait session. And of course we need lead time to book both appointments in the studio calendar before your baby arrives!

NEWBORN

Newborns are best photographed in the first 7-14 days after birth. This is when they are typically the sleepiest and we have the best chance of getting all the adorable wrapped and curled up poses.

Similar to Maternity sessions, it's recommended to call several weeks in advance of your due date to ensure availability and the lead time for the full process.

Baby already here? We can still create beautiful portraits of babies at any age, but please understand that older babies may be more alert, and may not allow the full range of poses.

MILESTONES

Milestone sessions are generally done based on baby stages. The first one is when Baby can safely sit up on their own, typically around 6 months. Then celebrate the big ONE with a cake smash session. We love to couple these with a bathtub set at the end. Super fun for Baby, and you don't have to worry about cake smash aftermath in your car!

THE PROCESS

Step 1

Phone Consultation

You've brought the vision for your nursery to life. Now you get to tell me all about your dreams for beautiful portraits that match your vision and your decor.

Your no-obligation, free phone consultation sets the stage for a hassle-free portrait session. We'll ensure availability that's perfectly timed for your pregnancy, and cover what you can expect to invest to bring your portrait dreams to life.

Step 2

In Home Style and Design Consultation

This is the start of the magic! It's our first chance to meet face to face and to build rapport with you, your spouse or partner, and baby's siblings before your session.

Together we'll design all the final details of your session, from wardrobe, colors, and overall style, to perfectly appointed wall art.

This appointment typically takes place 1-2 weeks in advance of your portrait session to ensure plenty of time to take care of last minute shopping or personal care.

Step 3

Enjoy Your Portrait Experience!

Relax and follow my lead for a fun-filled day! Feel like the star of the day while I capture this wonderful time in your life.

Enjoy being pampered in Hair and Makeup. Spouses, partners, kids, and other session participants can watch TV or use the internet on their own devices in between setups.

New parents will appreciate the chance to sit and relax while we photograph baby alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect to spend?

My mission to be your expert guide starts from the very first phone call. In your free, no-obligation phone consultation, we'll cover the overall expectations for your dream session and the potential investment to bring it to life. All sessions are customized for the individual client, and total investment is influenced by many factors that are difficult to predict without a conversation. Your phone call is always welcomed, and we are happy to talk with you whether you decide to book your session with us, or to explore other options. You are never wasting our time, so if you are interested but wondering if we fit in your budget, please don't hesitate to call.

Can we have an outdoor session?

Yes, we can do your Maternity session in an outdoor location. Some of our gowns may only be available for studio sessions, so we'll be sure you have all the styling guidance necessary to ensure everyone looks their best.

Newborn sessions are always completed in the studio for safety and comfort.

I'm comfortable choosing my own clothes. Can we skip the In-Home Style and Design Consultation?

The In-Home Style and Design Consultation is truly the secret to success at our studio. With something as important as near once-in-a-lifetime portraits, building rapport and ensuring we're on the same page is essential. If a spouse, partner, or children will participate in the session, this is a chance for us all to become familiar to each other so your family isn't meeting me face to face for the first time at your portrait session.

This appointment is how I begin provide you with all the expert guidance you need to have a stress-free session. I've found that even clients with a clear vision of what they want to wear benefit from the guidance I provide. Whether you have no idea what to choose, or you have pieces picked out before I arrive, reviewing your choices with me means you can be confident for photo day. Seeing your wardrobe in person also allows me to prepare the studio and session flow to best achieve your portrait goals.

You'll have a chance to see the beautiful ways in which you can enjoy your portraits. We'll cover the design of any wall art you may be considering. Pre-designing wall art options ensures we capture all the right images during the session, and eliminates the questions about which size or style fits best. You can be confident that your final wall art choices are perfectly at home in your home without any overwhelming DIY projects.

Finally, I'll provide you with a deeper insight about investment based on your potential designs before we conclude.

Does the Style and Design Consultation have to happen in my home? Do I have to let you into my closet?

Rest assured that I have seen all manners of homes and closets! From show-ready to absolutely lived-in (that's how I describe my own home!), it's a judgement free zone. Whether you have a perfectly organized closet, or it's more on the messy side, I'm always discreet. My only goal is to ensure the outcome of your session is everything you want it to be. Most of my clients feel very relieved knowing we've collaboratively curated everything needed, and there is little to nothing added to their to-do list.

If you are truly uncomfortable bringing me into your closets, you can pull potential wardrobe choices ahead of time. Still uneasy? Let me know your concerns so we can find an alternative.
