FAQS
which package is best for me?
The Lifestyle Newborn Mini is one hour in length, which will give us time to take pictures in one room of your home. Baby will need to be in one outfit for the entirety of the shoot. The Lifestyle Newborn and Luxe Newborn are two hours in length, which will give us time to take pictures in two rooms of your home. Baby will likely be able to wear two different outfits/swaddles, should you wish.
when should I book my session? Before or after baby is born?
As soon as you've decided you'd like to book your session with me, fill out my booking form- you'll just need to let me know your due date, we won't schedule an exact date yet. I recommend reaching out to me as early as possible to make sure I have space available. Then, I will send you an invoice and contract; you'll need to pay the deposit (50%) in order to secure your spot. When your baby arrives, you will let me know so that we can schedule your exact session date! I recommend that newborn portraits be taken between day 7-21 of your baby's life for the sleepiest baby with the smoothest skin.
FAQS
DO YOU TRAVEL FOR SESSIONS?
Yes, I do and I have travelled all over New England and the east coast for shoots! I live in Scituate, and do charge a travel fee of $1.65 per mile (round trip) for any sessions further than 15 miles from my home (11 Louise Lane in Scituate). Locations in and around Boston incur a travel fee of $150. Locations north of Boston please inquire.
FAQS
WILL YOU WRAP UP MY BABY AND POSE HIM OR HER?
If you're on my website, presumably you have gathered that my newborn pictures are not overly "posed." I will photograph your baby in organic poses that he or she naturally is in throughout our session. I will bring a white wrap that you can use, or we can use one of your ow swaddles. I can absolutely help you wrap up your baby, I've had two babies of my own so I am a bit of an expert swaddler, but won't do anything too intricate or fancy!
FAQS
WHAT IF I LOVE THE LIGHT AND AIRY LOOK, BUT MY HOME IS VERY DARK?
The "light and airy look" does require some natural light, light colored surroundings, and light clothing. We can almost definitely make something workin your home even if you do have some dark walls and furniture! If this is a concern you have, feel free to reach out and we can discuss!
