elieve it or not, our job goes far beyond snapping the
camera. Photography is an art; one that requires experience and practice to achieve worthy results. I work
T HEY A RE ONL Y T HIS LIT T LE. . . FOR A LIT T LE WHILE
one-on-one with each client to deliver images with an artistic style tailored to your family's character. I offer a choice of session styles, archival products, image retouching, and years of experience with posing to bring cli ents amazing and consistent results.

For posed sessions, I will need a space at least 6 feet wide in front of a large window or glass door to set up my portable studio
If you have any outfits or props you'd like included in the photos, please lay them out ahead of time
If the session is in your home, crank up the heat! It should feel like a sauna...babies like being warm Turn on a white noise machine to help baby sleep Parents should dress in layers for the heated room The surrounding environment should be quiet and relaxing - free from loud noise & distraction! Don’t schedule vaccinations the day before your session Lay out any special items you would like incorprated into the photos
Keep baby awake at least 60 min. prior to the session Feed baby until he or she is completely full Ensure the diaper isn’t strapped on too tightly to avoid red marks Your newborn should only have a blanket over for warmth. Removing clothing items will cause your little one to wake up at the beginning of the session
