Common FAQs

Q: Which locations do you serve?

A: I serve CLEVELAND, BRECKSVILLE, WESTLAKE, CANTON, AKRON & THE LOVELY STATE OF OHIO 

Q: HOW LONG IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK?

A: The sooner it is, the better it is!
I want to make sure that I'm available for your little one's first photoshoot.
It’s best to get on my calendar when you are entering your second trimester, but please don’t let that stop you from contacting me if you are past that time frame.

Q: HOW DO YOU PLAN A SESSION DATE WHEN DUE DATES AREN’T CERTAIN

A: I use your due date on my calendar and plan on a range of a week or so before and after that time.
That means that if your baby arrives a little early, I’m still available close to your due date.
And if your baby arrives late (which I sure hope isn’t the case!) I can still adjust for that week or two after your due date.
Once baby arrives, I have parents contact me via text, or email with the happy news. Then we set your official session date and time to fit within that optimal newborn window for the photographs, taking into consideration that mama is postpartum and still recovering.
The last thing I wanted to do when my babies were a few days old was leave the house, so I like to give new parents a little time to acclimate to life with their baby.

Q: DO WE NEED TO BRING ANYTHING?

A: I have all kinds of props, blankets, wraps, headbands, and hats for both boys and girls in a range of colors and shades, but if you have a sentimental teddy or blanket, please bring these with you as we may be able to incorporate these into the session.

Q: HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET MY PHOTOS BACK?

A: Once your session is over you'll receive your digital gallery within about 2-3 weeks, sometimes sooner! You'll be able to download them, along with a PDF for the printing rights, you'll also be able to share with family and friend easily. You will have the option to order prints and products through the online gallery which is the only way I can guarantee 100% color accuracy.

Q: MY BABY HAS ALREADY BEEN BORN, CAN I STILL BOOK A SESSION?

A: Yes! If I have had a last minute cancellation or a baby has arrived early/late I may have some availability so it is always worth asking if your baby is already here. 

Q: How long are the sessions?

A: Typically around 2-3 Hours

Q: Do you do retouches on the photos?

A: Absolutely! My priority is to ensure that your little one shines in every frame, while preserving their precious, natural look.

DO YOU OFFER A PAYMENT PLAN FOR THE BABY PLANS?

A: Yes, I do! 25% is due at the time of booking and the remaining balance is split into equal monthly payments until your due date.

Q: WHAT IF MY BABY CRIES OR DOESN'T SETTLE?

A: This is totally natural and doesn't tend to last the entire session. I have tricks that I use to help baby fall asleep and stay asleep, as long as the session prep guide is read and followed as closely as possible. 
If baby cries and no amount of soothing, changing, feeding and burping changes this we can simply reschedule your session as it may be that they are coming down with something, or they may be having tummy troubles.  More often, with some time, patience and perseverance all babies will settle and we will be able to create beautiful images – awake or asleep. If baby is awake and calm, I like to take advantage of this time and photograph them awake. This always creates such beautiful images of your baby. 

q:Can siblings be included in the sessions?

A: Yes, I love including the sibling in the photographs.
They will love it when they are older 
😊

Q: WE ARE READY! HOW DO WE BOOK?

A: Love that question the most!
To book, please email me with your due date to get the booking process started! I’ll collect a $200 retainer from you to get your due date reserved and then your session balance will be due 7 days prior to your session.
