Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Feel free to request specific setups or poses for your photoshoot. I want you to be thrilled with the images we create, so let's communicate openly to ensure your vision is captured perfectly.

Question 8

Have a concern about sanitation?

Accepted Answer

I wash all used props and blankets after each newborn session with non-scented detergent.

Question 9

Shy?

Accepted Answer

Don’t worry, nobody can understand that better than me.  I will help you to relax throughout the photoshoot and make it an enjoyable experience.

Question 10

What should I wear for my session?

Accepted Answer

Just keep it simple, go for plain, warm colors that compliment each other and stay away from any clothing with large logo brands, pictures, words or strong colours and patterns. For families and group photography is important that you all match.

Question 11

What happens after the photoshoot?

Accepted Answer

Once we are all happy with the session, I will start editing the images and upload them on your online gallery for you to view and order from.  It will normally take me 2 to 6 weeks depending on my workload, however you may receive your pictures sooner. After you place your order you can have your images immediately,  if you ordered just the digital package or if you ordered any artwork/prints it will  take another 1 to 4 weeks dependant on lead times.
