Frequently Asked Questions

Booking & Availability

  • To reserve your session, choose your session type and fill out my contact form. I will send over a contract to put down a deposit. If you’re booking before your baby arrives, I’ll hold a placeholder date and confirm your exact session time once baby is here. I take a limited number of due dates each month to keep sessions relaxed and baby-led.

    You can see all session types on my Investment page.

  • Newborn sessions are held on weekday mornings, usually at 10 AM or 11 AM. Babies are calmer then, and the studio light is soft and consistent. Weekend sessions are extremely limited.re

  • Just let me know within 1–2 days of baby’s arrival. I keep one flex spot each month for NICU stays, preemies, medical situations, or last-minute needs. If your situation is unpredictable, reach out — I’m always willing to work with you.

Safety

  • Yes, when done correctly. Sessions are baby-led, with gentle movements and natural positioning. I never force babies into poses they resist.

  • I support baby’s head and neck at all times, use clean and sanitized props, follow safe posing techniques, and maintain a warm, calm studio environment. Many poses are photographed with hands supporting baby, then edited for a seamless final image.

  • No. I avoid any poses that put pressure on baby’s joints, airways, or circulation. If a pose cannot be done safely, I don’t attempt it.

  • Yes, I’ve completed newborn safety and posing training and continue to study best practices. Sessions are slow, gentle, and focused on comfort and safety.

  • Absolutely. I work based on adjusted age and comfort. If your baby has unique needs or is coming home from the NICU, let me know so we can plan the safest, calmest approach.

  • Newborn safety includes more than gentle posing, it also means creating a clean, hygienic space where your baby is always protected. The studio is cleaned and sanitized before and after every session. All wraps, outfits, blankets, and fabrics are washed in baby-safe detergent, and all high-touch surfaces, including props, seating, doorknobs, light switches, and changing areas, are wiped and disinfected regularly.

    The studio is shoe-free and pet-free to keep the environment as clean and allergen-reduced as possible. Only one family is scheduled in the space at a time, giving me plenty of time to reset, air out, and prepare the studio between sessions.

    Throughout your session, I wash my hands frequently, use hand sanitizer between transitions, and avoid working when sick. If anyone in your household is feeling unwell, I’m always happy to reschedule to keep all babies safe.

    The studio is designed to be calm, soft, and hygienic, with clean linens, fresh wraps, and sanitized props ready for your baby. My goal is to create an environment that feels safe, cozy, and comfortable for even the tiniest newborns.
