Can we get parents and sibling pictures during our session? Yes, absolutely! I do parent/sibling shots first thing and ask that arrangements are made for older siblings to be present only for their portion of the shoot. Also, when choosing family outfits choose solid, soft colors. I prefer to have baby wrapped for family shots and can match the wrap to your color scheme! It’s important that the images focus on the star of the shoot (the baby) and the connection between everyone.
Should both parents attend the newborn session? Sometimes I will have an assistant at your newborn shoot so that parents can totally relax. In instances when I do not I ususally ask dad to help but if both parents are unable to come, that’s okay too!
Can I bring other people to the shoot to observe? Based on experience we find that it’s better if only parents attend the session. Newborn sessions are often lengthy and require a calm, quiet environment in which we can keep baby asleep and occasionally calm him or her if they are fussy. Lots of extra time is needed for diaper changes and feedings too. Unless the family members are going to be included in the photoshoot we ask that they remain at home.
Best photographer in Charlotte! Very patient. Works very well with babies and we even learned techniques to soothe our little one. -Shay M.
Truly a gifted artist! You must book a session with her! -Corey T.
Meredith is by far the sweetest! She is very professional, very gentle, and so kind! I would, and plan to, recommend her business to all my friends that are parents! We are more than satisfied with our shoot today! Thank you again! -Meredith E.

Meredith-June Photography has a variety of adorable props, blankets and set ups available. Some clients have a couple special items hey want to include in their session. A cute hat or an heirloom
910-987-1538 | MeredithJunePhoto@gmail.com
blanket that grandma made are good examples. Bring it to your session and I will do my best to incorporate it into your session. Plan to bring extra bottles, pacifiers, and diapers to your session. I provide wioes and hand sanitizer. Also bring any other items that you know might soothe your little one.
Since newborn babies are most sleepy during the first 7-10 days of life, we ask that you book your session no later than two weeks of age, although under 10 days of age seems to be optimal. Since Meredith-June Photography is usually booked several months out, we ask that you book in your second trimester of pregnancy at
All clients are required to sign a photography agreement prior to their session.

Deposit + Agreement are due in order to hold your baby’s session.
