Studio Policies
Newborn Booking
Newborns are best photographed within the first 6-14 days. If you're having a C-section we can schedule a definite date for your photo shoot ahead of time. If baby's arrival is unknown, I'll pencil you in for the week after your due date. Please inform me if your due date changes or if you get scheduled for a C-section. When you get home from the hospital, please call to set a definite date for your photo session. Please note that you should give a baby boy who has had a circumcision a few days to heal before a photo shoot to avoid any upset or discomfort.
Safety
The safety of your child is of utmost importance to me. I require one parent or guardian to sit directly next to the posing area. My policy is to always have a hand on the baby in case of startling. I ask that you keep a hand on your baby when I step away to change lenses or adjust backgrounds.
Cancellations and Rescheduling
Life happens. If you need to reschedule, let me know as soon as you can and we'll reschedule for the next possible date. Similarly, I respectfully reserve the right to reschedule a session if I fall ill. I never want to risk the health of you or your family and will reschedule as soon as I am feeling better.
Payment
Your session fee is due at the time of your photo shoot. I accept cash, checks and credit cards: Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express. All prints and products are available at an additional cost. At your photo shoot, we will schedule an ordering session for you to come back to view your photos and select products. Your balance for any products is due at the time of the ordering session and your products will not be delivered until your full balance is paid.
Orders
I take pride in my artwork and order my products only from professional print labs that use high-quality archival papers and inks to make your photos last for generations. Please allow 1-3 weeks for delivery of your products. Due to the unique nature of our custom canvases and albums, all sales are final. Your images are archived for 1 year after your sitting so please reorder any prints you may need within that time period. Product prices are subject to change without notice.
The Process
After you book with me, I'll send you the link to a client questionnaire to help me prepare for your session. After this form is filled out, you'll receive in your email a client welcome packet with tips and info on everything you'll need to prepare for your photo shoot. You will also receive a contract outlining the particulars which must be signed before the session takes place. I offer a free phone consultation if you would like to plan out your session further or feel free to email me with any ideas on your goals for the session. On the day of your session, you will make an appointment to come in for your ordering session where you will view your images and order prints and products. Please bring every member of the family who needs to be involved in the decision. Everyone who needs to be involved in the decision should be present if at all possible. If an extra ordering session is needed, this can be booked for an extra $150 fee.
