Questions
What should we wear for our family session?
We provide a curated wardrobe selection including women's sizes 0-24, children's clothing, and men's shirts. Coordinating outfits with neutral tones and textures work best for timeless portraits.
Do you photograph extended family groups?
Yes, our studio accommodates multi-generational portraits and larger family groups. We recommend scheduling outdoor sessions for groups exceeding eight people to allow more space for compositions.
What's included in the First Year Collective?
This package includes three sessions during baby's first year (maternity, newborn, and milestone), priority booking access, birth announcements, and 10% off all products and collections.
Can we use our own props and decorations?
Clients may bring personal items to incorporate into sessions. The studio already provides extensive props, backdrops, and accessories specifically designed for safe and beautiful compositions.
How long does it take to receive photos?
Edited galleries with 40+ images are delivered within two weeks of your session. Product orders like albums and framed prints typically ship within three weeks of gallery selection.
What's the best time for newborn photos?
Ideal newborn sessions occur when babies are 6-14 days old, while they're still sleepy and flexible. Sessions can still be scheduled up to 3 months old with adjusted posing expectations.
