Frequently asked questions
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!
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
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.
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.
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!

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.
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.
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.
