This is our process:
I. SCHEDULING Newborn Portrait SESSION
Newborn portraits are best taken during the first two weeks of life, when babies most enjoy being bundled up in blankets and wraps.
Book your shoot during the second or third trimester of pregnancy to secure your session spot. We’ll pick the exact date and time after your little one arrives.
If you’ve just discovered us and your little one will arrive shortly or is already here give us a call and we’ll do all we can to accommodate and schedule a session.
II. PLANNING & Customizing Your SESSION
Before the shoot, you’ll fill out a questionnaire so we can learn about your style and color preferences.
Then, we’ll custom-design different photography sets for your newborn portraits.
We’ll also send you several emails/messages to help you prepare for the session and go over all your questions and concerns.
III. THE Day OF YOUR Portrait SHOOT
Your newborn photography session includes full access to our props, backdrops, and client wardrobe.
Bring your baby’s necessities, and we’ll take care of the rest! The session will be relaxed and unhurried.
Be prepared to spend 2-4 hours in the studio, including breaks and feedings. Further, snacks, drinks, and TV steaming services are provided.
IV. AT The ORDERING Appointment
2-4 weeks after the session, You will get proofing gallery if digital print only , or you’ll come back to the studio to view your carefully edited and retouched newborn portraits for selecting for wall art.

NEWBORN Safety IS A Priority
We are Momtog certified and have completed extensive safety training as well as seminars on safety from renowned educators. During the photoshoot, we closely observes your baby for any signs of agitation.
Further, poses where the little one rests their head on their heads, such as the popular “froggy” pose, is done through photoshop composites so they don’t have to support the weight of their head in their tiny arms.
After each portrait session all props, sets, and outfits are thoroughly washed, steamed, and UV sanitized, and we have enacted new safety protocols post covid, such as scheduling only 1 client per day.

FAQ
When is the best time to book a newborn photo session?
The best time to photograph your newborn is when the baby is under two weeks of age. After this period babies become harder to settle into a pose and lose their “curly womb look”. To assure availability, the best time to schedule your session is in the 5th or 6th month of your pregnancy.
What is the difference between a “studio” and an “at-home” newborn photo session?
I offer both a studio and at-home newborn session. You should consider your personal style and preferences when deciding which session is best for you. There is a significant difference in your final photo gallery, per session type. Please refer to my gallery for examples of creative and lifestyle newborn images.
The studio session is done entirely in a creative way, including both newborn baby portraits, close-ups, as well as images with parents and siblings. My approach is very simple. I love neutral colors and vintage props that complement your baby, and never go out of style. The images captured are not merely pictures; they are more like a work of art.
The at-home session is predominantly lifestyle. I strive to capture true to life, storytelling images that will one day bring you back to the first moments when you brought your baby home. You should consider your home’s décor as well as natural light when considering at-home session. The at-home session will cover baby portraits, close-ups, as well as lifestyle family images.
Where is your studio located?
My in-home studio is located in Herndon, VA ( 13524 Copper bed rd )
How long does a newborn photo session last?
Session can last anywhere from two to five hours.
Do we need to purchase any props?
No, I have plenty of props available for your session: hats, bonnets, tie-backs, headbands, wraps, backdrops, faux floor drops, baskets and crates. I love vintage props and earthy, neutral color. I use props to compliment and not take focus away from your baby. During a studio session, you will have access to all my props. If you choose an at-home session, I will bring variety of props with me after discussing your style and preferences with you.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes, I do collect a $250 deposit to reserve your session date and lock your prices.
I am interested in digital images only. Do you offer such collections?
Yes I do. However, I love when my clients walk away with at least one printed product and that is why I offer add-on items and collections that include both digital images and some of my favorite printed products.
Which metro areas do you serve?
I serve Washington DC as well as Northern Virginia (Reston, Herndon, Ashburn, Leesburg, Vienna, McLean, Chantilly, Arlington, Oakton, Fairfax, Alexandria, Great Falls, Gainesville, Manassas, Centreville, Burke, Springfield, Purcellville, Fairfax County, Loudoun County and Prince William County, etc.) and Maryland (Bethesda, Montgomery County)
