What is included in a newborn session?
Newborn sessions generally include entire family, each parent with newborn, individual newborn portraits and if there are siblings or pets we can always do individuals with them and the baby as well based on comfort level.
Newborn sessions are a full two hours. This time includes set up, testing light, wrapping baby, and if we need to pause at any time to feed or calm baby this can be done as well.
I let babies set the tone for the session. Their comfort level is always my first priority.
Maternity Sessions are photographed from 30-35 weeks of pregnancy. I often suggest booking after your first trimester. I offer a variety of maternity gowns and dresses for your use.
Newborn sessions are best photographed between 5-15 days after birth. If your baby was premature, this can be adjusted to their expected due date or comfort level of the parents. A sleepy baby often lends itself to the best photographs. I bring a variety of swaddles and props with me to your session. If you'd like to borrow a dress from the client wardrobe, please let me know. I have a variety of sizes and styles based on your postpartum needs.

Do you offer studio session?
YES! I work with a few studios in the CLT/LKN area. All vary in style/set up based on your wants and needs.
Many times for 6 month milestone session and first birthday/cake smash milestone sessions studio set up is a great option.
Studio set up can also be great for maternity or newborn session if you prefer as well during colder months or a rainy day in the forcast.
For any given portrait session, I will photograph upwards of about 400 raw images. Some are just testing the light, other blurry and then some you would not appreciate receiving. I deliver you the BEST of the BEST photographs for your full gallery. Generally full portrait sessions include at least 50 photographs to about 75 on average. I do not deliver RAW photographs. They are all high resolution JPEG through an online password protected gallery.
Do you deliver every image you photograph?
I love to travel! Yes, I travel to the mountains, beach, and many areas of NC for family sessions. Please inquire about your location.
Often times if we can coordinate based on being in that location already for a session.
If its outside of those times, please note a travel fee is added to your session.
