Kind Words


"From start to finish, Christina made our newborn photography experience effortless and unforgettable. She was incredibly gentle with our baby and put us at ease. She arranged hair and makeup for my wife, provided a gorgeous dress, and took care of every detail. We didn’t have to stress about a thing.


She helped us design a stunning photoscape for our living room, hand-delivered our artwork, and even hung it for us. Every keepsake, from our handcrafted album to the personalized resin photo, was thoughtfully created. She even surprised my wife with a spa gift box. This is more than photography—it's a true luxury experience."

Timing

The Best Time for Newborn Photos

The best time for newborn photos is typically within the first two weeks after birth, when your baby is still sleepy and flexible.

[Christina] was very gentle with our baby and put our mind at ease during the whole process. The whole process was seamless. She photoshopped, helped us select our photos for keepsake, and had our photo album handcrafted for us. The quality of the photos are unmatched. ~ Michael G.

FAQ

How far in advance do I have to book a newborn session?

To ensure availability, it's best to book your newborn portrait session during your second trimester. However, we accommodate last-minute bookings, so feel free to reach out at any stage of your pregnancy or after your baby arrives.

How old should my baby be for newborn portraits?

Newborn portraits are best taken when Baby is 5 - 14 days old when babies are still sleepy and can curl into cute poses, capturing those cherished details. After two weeks, they become more alert, making posed images more challenging.

Do I need to buy any newborn props/outfits for my baby's newborn session?

Great question! You do not need to buy any newborn props or outfits for your baby's newborn session. I provide a variety of props, wraps, and accessories to use during the session. However, if there are any specific items or outfits that you would like to incorporate into the session, please let me know in advance so that we can discuss incorporating them.

Can my husband and kids be in the newborn portraits?

Absolutely! Including family members in your newborn portraits can make for even more precious and memorable photos. Please let me know beforehand so I can plan accordingly and make sure everyone is comfortable and prepared for the session.

Do you provide hair & makeup for Mom at the newborn portrait sessions?

Hair & makeup is an optional add-on for maternity & newborn portrait sessions on weekdays only.

Do you offer payment plans?

We understand that there are a lot of expenses that come with having a new baby, so we offer interest-free in-house payment plans for up to 6 months, or payments with AfterPay.

How much is a newborn session?

The session fee for a newborn session is $250 and covers up to a 4 hour session, depending on wakefulness of the baby. Photos and products are additional.

Do you retouch the images?

Yes! All chosen images are edited to our studio standards. Specific requests can be made as well. Composites or extensive editing may require an additional fee.,
