I would suggest at least 6-8 weeks prior to your desired shoot date. I typically recommend booking for your babies 6-7 months Milestone (once they are able to sit well on their own) and for their 1 year session.
Milestone sessions are priced for the Milestone child only. There is an option to “add-on” sibling(s) to your Milestone Session for an additional $75/child. If you are looking for Family Shots I would recommend booking a Family Session with me.
Please have your child fed before the session, this is a 45 min session and breaking for feeding is not typical. Please DO NOT bring snacks of any kind to the session or the child will be focused on the snacks and all chances of getting a shot without “Goldfish” in their mouth has been lost. Same goes for toys or things that usually make your baby smile, leave them in the diaper bag or in the car. IF you don’t want it in the photo – don’t bring it. I know how to get your kids to smile without these items. I am perfectly happy with you rewarding them with these things AFTER the session.
You may bring a choice of outfits for us to pick through – we typically will shoot 2-3 looks in one session. Changing the baby more than that can make them upset. I will also have my personal collection of wardrobe choices available for you to choose from.
I have plenty of accessories/props for both boys and girls that I hand pick specifically based on my style of Photography. I always keep things fresh and continually order new items for my work. As an artist/photographer I do have a specific style and taste that I like to stick with, if you booked with me than chances are you like it! If you have a family heirloom etc. I am MORE than happy to use it for your photos. My style is very natural and timeless that focuses on your baby rather than the “set-up”.
