Frequently Asked Questions


When Do I Need To Get Booked To Ensure A Spot In Your Schedule?

I highly recommend booking when mama is around 20 weeks along. This will ensure that I still have availability in my schedule. I only scheduled a few due dates a month to allow for scheduling.

When Are Newborn Photoshoots Typically Done? 

Newborn Photography Sessions are typically scheduled when baby is between 6-14 days old. But there is always flexibility with that if mama/baby need more time. See my blog post below for additional information regarding timing!

 When To Schedule Your Newborn Photography Session

Where Is Your Studio Located?

My Professional Newborn Studio is located in my home in Salem, Oregon. I frequently welcome clients from Portland and surrounding areas as well as Salem.

Since Babies Arrive On Their Own Schedule, How Does Scheduling Work?

I plan for this!  How scheduling works is I get your session reserved on my calendar tentatively by your due date, but we wait till baby is actually born to schedule the date of your session. This allows for baby to come early, or come late no problem! 

What Do I Need To Bring To The Session?

You really do not need to bring anything! I have spend years collecting only the best props and accessories for your photoshoot. I have everything we need to photograph baby, but here is a list of things you might want to think about bringing for yourself!

What to Bring to Your Newborn Photography Session

Why Newborn Photography?

I wish I could tell you that you will remember everything from those first few weeks home with your new baby. But between the sleep deprivation, pure exhaustion, and entirely new daily routine… 

Newborns Change Quickly.

Every day after your baby is born will bring changes. Those first few weeks are exhausting, and I don’t want you to forget anything. That little sound you thought they would do forever? They suddenly don’t. That little scrunched up face and wrinkled forehead when they cry? Gone before you are ready. You will think you will remember it all, but you won’t. And I do not want you to forget how they seemingly melted into your chest when you held them, their tiny little squeaking sounds, or how it was possible to have the softest head of hair imaginable. 

Lifelong Memories. For You and Them. 

The images I create will take you right back to those first moments with your tiny newborn. And bonus, your sweet baby will absolutely LOVE looking at their photos with their parents as they grow up. My twin boys constantly ask to see them when they were “little with mama”. They love seeing their photos up in their room, and in our hallways. It is so special for you of course, but also for them to have as they grow and someday have their own children! 

Plus, Can I Tell You? 

Your Newborn Will Be Ridiculously Cute. 

It’s really incredible how beautiful and unique every newborn is, and you will not regret having their first moments saved for a lifetime.  Their little fuzzy hair, their yawns, their little lip that tucks in. 

It’s All Worth Remembering.

I have been photographing newborns for 11 years, and have worked with over 700 newborns. I have a beautiful studio located in Salem, Oregon to welcome you and baby to. You and your baby are in the perfect hands with me. I have the expertise and professionalism necessary for parents to entrust their brand new baby to.
