I highly recommend reserving your newborn session once you are in your second trimester to ensure availability.  Your actual session date will be scheduled once your baby arrives.

Newborn sessions take place Monday - Friday at 9:30am at my studio located just outside of Augusta.

If you have delivered your baby already, I do try to make room for a last minute session when I can.  So, be sure to reserve a newborn session in advance.

Booking is easy! Simply contact us through our website, email, or phone to discuss availability and details. 

A session fee is required to formally reserve your due date/session.  Your actual newborn session will be scheduled once your baby arrives. 

The session fee ensures a confirmed reservation for your session and includes a pre-session consultation, your photography session, and an in-person reveal and ordering session.  Please note that this fee does not include any prints or digital images, and covers the time and talent of the photographer only.

Newborns are photographed 5-12 days from the date of their birth.

Wear outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable, but it also depends on the look and feel you want to display in your home. 

MOMS: Simple clothing is best. Soft, pastel colors are a great choice for your newborn session. You can opt for 3/4 or long sleeved tops to keep the focus on the connection between you and your baby.

You can also choose to wear a maternity gown from my client closet for your newborn portraits.  Gowns are great for mommy/baby images and add a simple elegance to your images.

Dad and Children: I recomend that the clothing worn should coordinate with what mom and baby will be wearing.  Choose a color scheme and coordinate the colors so they compliment each other.  Dad should wear a long sleeve shirt and a nice pair of jeans/pants.  Hair/Beard should be trimmed up nicely.  Nails should be manicured.  The older siblings can wear jeans and a nice shirt or dresses for the girls. Just keep it simple with no large patterns. If you need help choosing outfits, let me know and I will help choose what looks best.

If you like color...let's discuss.  There are some guidelines I like to follow.

I highly recommend to stay away from logos and busy designs as it distracting to the eye and can age an image years from now.  

AND...most importantly your clothing must be clean, free from wrinkles and lint AND make sure that everyone's fingernails are manicured nicely as they will be in the images.  Mamas, if you paint your nails, please stay away from bright colors.  You don't want your nails to draw attention away from you or your baby.  Light neutral colors or French tips are best.

As far as props go, you do not need to bring anything but the baby.  If you do have a special heirloom piece or prop you would like to use, please discuss with me ahead of time so I can incorporate it into the session.

Items to bring for your baby would include a pacifier, a soft blanket, burp cloth, formula/breast milk if your are exclusively bottle feeding and extra diapers/wipes.

I suggest bringing an extra pair of clothes for yourself just in case your baby gets "fluids" on you.

Session lengths vary depending on the type of shoot. Newborn portrait sessions typically last about 2.5-3 hours, while milestone sessions can take 30-60 minutes.

We offer both! You will receive a digital image file of anything you order.  You can choose mounted prints, albums, and wall art to showcase your memories beautifully.  

Once you have finalized your portrait order, your images will be retouched for printing.  Retouching takes time to ensure the best quality. Most portrait orders are delivered within 1.5 to 2.5 weeks.

If you need to reschedule, please contact me at least 24-48 hours in advance if you won't be able to come in for your scheduled portrait session due to illness or another reason. Even though the session fee is nonrefundable, we can reschedule your session within seven days of your original session.
