Question 1

Where is your studio?

Accepted Answer

My in-home studio is located in Bonaire, Georgia near Highways 247 and 96. My address will be provided when you book your session.

I have a wide variety of backgrounds, outfits and props to create your dream photo session!

Question 2

How long does a photo session take?

Accepted Answer

I work on "child time." Some kids take longer than others to warm up, and that's OK! My goal is to always end a session with happy kids and parents.

Newborn session length can vary greatly as well, since we need to wait until the baby is sleeping for several of the poses.

On average, most sessions last:

Newborn: 2-4 hours
Family: 45 - 60 minutes
Milestones: 30-45 minutes
Cake Smash/Splash: 60-90 minutes

Question 3

How long will it take to get my images?

Accepted Answer

I understand how excited you are to see your baby's photos, so I will send you a few "sneak peek" images the same day as your session. The rest of your images will be done in 1-2 weeks. However, during busy times, such as during the holidays, it may take a little longer.

Question 4

How will I receive my images?

Accepted Answer

You will receive a link to a personalized online gallery where you can select your images. After you've made your selections, they will be available for download or purchase of prints.

Question 5

Can I share my photos on social media?

Accepted Answer

Of course! Once you've chosen and downloaded your images from your personal gallery, they are yours to share. I do appreciate it if you tag me!

Question 6

When should I set up my newborn photos?

Accepted Answer

It's never to early to contact me about newborn photos so that we can discuss session design and get you on my calendar.

Ideally, newborn photos should be taken before your baby is 2 weeks old. However, I can also work with older newborns.

Question 7

Can I bring other family and friends to watch the studio session?

Accepted Answer

I know that it can be so fun to watch a session, especially a cake smash, so I do welcome extra guests.  However, my studio is not a big space, so please limit your guests and let me know first who you would like to bring. Spectators need to remain quiet while I am taking photos so that I am able to keep the kids in the photos focused on me.

Question 8

Are siblings allowed to stay during a newborn session?

Accepted Answer

If you choose a newborn package that includes siblings, I try to get the sibling-included photos done first so that if another parent or grandparent wants to take them home during the newborn-only portion of the session, they can. However, I don’t mind them staying and I do have a small play area and snacks to keep them occupied.
