FAQ

I recommend booking as early as possible to secure your preferred date. Newborn Sessions: Ideally booked during pregnancy. Your due date is reserved, and the final session date is confirmed once your baby arrives. Maternity Sessions: Best photographed between 28–34 weeks of pregnancy. Cake Smash Sessions: Usually booked for babies between 10–12 months old. Sitter Sessions: Perfect for babies who can sit independently, typically between 6–9 months. Older kids are also welcome YES

Session times vary depending on the type of session booked. Newborn Sessions: 1–4 hours (allowing time for feeding, settling, and cuddles) Maternity Sessions: 45–90 minutes Cake Smash Sessions: 45–60 minutes Sitter Sessions: 30–60 minutes Family and portrait sessions vary depending on the selected package.
