 FAQs

  • Neutrals and earth tones photograph beautifully and keep the focus on your family. Avoid bold patterns or bright colors that compete with each other. Comfort matters too! If you feel good, it shows.

  • It happens, and it's okay. Reach out as soon as baby arrives and we'll find a time that works. Flexibility is built into how I schedule newborn sessions.

  • As early as possible, especially for newborn sessions. The newborn window is short. ideally within the first two weeks, and spots fill up quickly. For Fresh 48 sessions, book during your second trimester so we can coordinate around your due date.

  • Yes. Fresh 48 sessions take place at your place of birth within the first 48 hours. I work with the natural light in your room and keep the session relaxed and low-key so you can focus on recovering and soaking it all in.

  • Absolutely. Both are welcome at family and newborn sessions.
