FAQs

01. when is the best time to photograph my newborn baby?

The best time for your newborn photoshoot is when baby is between 7-21 days old. (My preference is around the 2 week mark!) After this time, babies are harder to settle and things like colic and baby acne start to flare up. Please book during the end of your 2nd trimester- beginning of 3rd to ensure a spot as availability is limited each month. I sometimes have last minute availability.

02. Do you photograph older babies?

Yes I do! While I highly recommend baby is under 21 days, I occasionally photograph older newborns. Just keep in mind the poses may look a little different as baby is more alert and wiggly! Baby's safety and comfort are my number one priorities.

03. Can I receive the raw or unedited images?

No. The editing that I do is part of my artistic style & therefore I am unable to supply unedited files.

04. Where will the Newborn session take place?

All newborn sessions are done in the comfort of your home! If you opt for some lifestyle photos, a nursery or living room/primary bedroom works!

05. Do you retouch the newborn photos?

Retouching includes removing blemishes, redness, scratches and flakiness. I lightly smooth baby's skin. Birthmarks and stork bites will not be removed unless specifically requested.

06. Where will the milestone/ cake smash sessions place?

Milestone/cake smash sessions can take place outdoors or at my home studio located in San Jose, CA

07. When Is the Best time to photography my maternity session?

The best time to capture this moment is when you're around 28-34 weeks along. This is flexible if you're still feeling comfortable.

08. WHat is your turn around time?

Turn around time for most sessions are about 2 weeks. Newborn sessions are about 2-3 weeks from the time you select your photos.
