After your session, I go through all of your images and select the best of the best to edit. I then carefully edit your images in my signature bright, light, and airy style with the latest high-end editing software. Within two-three weeks, your images will be presented to you in a private online gallery where you can easily download them or order prints and products!

step 5: the gallery

Your session will take place in your home. I will bring several items along, including a beautiful changing basket and a small variety of wraps and swaddles.  

step 4: your session

When your baby arrives, you can either email or text me to let me know so that we can schedule your exact session date! Your session will take place anywhere from 1-3 weeks after your baby is born, unless you need to push it out further for some reason. I am a mom of two little boys and well understand that these things don't always go exactly as planned! 

step 3: WELCOME TO THE WORLD BABY!

After you have your due date officially booked, I will send you my contract and my Newborn Session Guide that will give you all the tips and tricks you will need to know to have a stress-free session. This includes what to wear, colors that photograph beautifully, how to prepare your spouse and other children (if any), how to prepare your home, and my hair and makeup artist recommendations should you need them. You will also receive a code to use my amazing online styling system to easily style your entire family!

step 2: planning

Easily book your session with me here.  You will provide your due date, but this will of course not be the actual date of your session!  I recommend booking your session as early as possible, to make sure I have room in my calendar when your baby is born!  

step 1: book your session

Here's how it works

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.  
FAQS
DOES the price of our session INCLUDE DIGITAL IMAGES?
Yes, all packages include printing rights to all of your digital images.
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!
FAQS
HOW MUCH should we expect to spend on our session and prints?
You can view my pricing by clicking here   Some packages include a print credit or album.  Professional prints and products can also easily be ordered straight from your online gallery!
FAQS
We are so excited and are ready to book our session! What's next?
Wonderful!  Simply head to my booking page here  to fill out your information and select your package.  I will send you an invoice, contract, guide for your session, and other important information.
