Q: Is there retouching?

A: My baby has acne and my toddler has a scratch on their nose! YES! There is always retouching available. Standard retouching is included, such as removal of acne or backgrounds. For more advanced changes such as headswaps or color changes, they may require an additional charge.

Q: I forgot to schedule a newborn session is it too late?

A: It is never too late to have your baby photographed. It is important to manage expectations of a session. Curly sleepy newborn photos are never guaranteed but usually achieved with babies under 2 weeks. A six week baby may sleep during a session and have awake time, but may not be able to curl into womb positions or want to be wrapped. We do believe that generally babies can be successfully photographed at any age.

Q: What if my baby doesn’t sleep?

A: Many babies do not sleep thru their session. Some are wide awake the entire time!! We can usually still achieve some amazing images, especially if they are wrapped!

Q: What if my baby cries?

A: Babies are babies and they will cry! We do everything we can to soothe and comfort them and surround them with a comfortable environment. We have been working with newborns for five years straight and as a Mother herself Sarah has many soothing techniques and tips.

Q: What if we can not get any great baby photos? Do I get a refund or a reshoot?

A: We have a very successful record for being able to achieve a wide variety of newborn images even with fussy babies. We will do everything we can to achieve newborn images and soothe your baby. In the event that photographing your baby seems impossible, Sarah will discuss options with you during the session.

Q: How many images do you provide?

A: Sessions can be anywhere from 2-3 hours and the amount of images captured depends on how well the newborn is doing during transitioning of poses. A newborn solo session can have anywhere from 50-100 images captured, whereas a family newborn session can have anywhere from 75-200 images captured. We will go through your session images and eliminate any duplicates or blurry images and remove them prior to your ordering appointment. You will then see the images and choose images for any package purchased or decide on what items you want to purchase.

Q: Can we include parent poses, our other children and our dog?

A: Please take a look at the session fees. We allow a certain number of family members per session. If you would like to include the grandparents, several siblings and any other extra family members, there may be a small fee.

Q: What if my toddler does not cooperate?

A: Children are children, and we do the best we can when working with them of any age. We have quite a few tricks up our sleeves and with your permission we can offer them treats or incentives for capturing sweet images.

Q: How quickly can I see the images?

A: Images are generally ready to see within two weeks of your session. We schedule in person ordering appointments at the conclusion of your session or shortly thereafter.

Q: My baby just got circumcised should we still come?

A: As long as he is healing well yes. Most babies have healed by their session. Many Parents use vaseline or another gel that the Dr. has recommended for healing. We will keep the area protected and we can avoid naked images if you wish. We photograph many babies that have been circumcised with no issues. If your baby has had a later circumcision, they can still have their session and all normal precautions are made. Please feel free to discuss this with us during your session. We want you to be fully involved in the process.

Q: My baby still has their umbilical cord on, is it ok to take photos?

A: Yes! Most babies that come still have their cord on, as it may take a full two weeks for it to fall off. Some babies even loose their cords during their session! When babies are wrapped, we wrap with their diaper on and cover the cord so that it does not catch on the fabric. When they are naked, we gently can cover the area to keep it protected. We are very cautious with babies and we are aware of the post delivery care that is needed.
