FAQ

  • Preparing for the arrival of your new baby also means planning for their very first photoshoot. I recommend scheduling your newborn session before your baby is born. That way you can relax knowing that your session will take place within the recommended 2 weeks after the baby’s birth.

    I only take a limited number of sessions a month and scheduling ahead of time is very important.

  • $100 is required to hold a date. Full payment is due before or on the day of the session.

  • The best way to schedule your session is to use your due date as a tentative date so I can ensure that I have you on my calendar for that month. After your baby is born and you’re both resting at home, then you can send me an email and we can set a date for your session. I strongly suggest scheduling within those first 2 weeks. I’ve found that babies just do better during this time, around their 3rd week they start being more alert and fussy. Once we have scheduled a date, I will send out more information about how to prepare and what to expect during the session.

  • Newborns are very sleepy for the first two weeks of life. I’ve found that after the 3rd week they start to become more alert, their sleeping pattern changes, they want to feed more often, they’re not as easy to pose and for those reasons the newborn session becomes a lot harder to accomplish.

  • Yes of course! I love including the whole family in my newborn sessions, even fur babies whenever possible. You will want to book the Keepsake Collection to include baby and family.

  • Newborn sessions start at $550. You have a couple of options to choose from. See newborn pricing here.

  • Your newborn session takes place in the comfort and safety of your home. I cover all of Miami Dade County, from Homestead to Doral, Coral Gables, Aventura and Miami Beach. I can also travel to other areas outside of Miami, like Pembroke Pines and Hollywood in Broward County.

  • Newborn sessions take place on weekday mornings. I’ve found that newborns are most sleepy & content earlier in the day. I usually like to start around 10 a.m. My weekends are reserved for family time and events but occasionally I do have availability, however there’s a $200 convenience fee for weekend dates.

  • Your session will take between 1 hour to - 3 hours, depending on the type of session you book. It also depends on how the baby is doing. I always allow time for feeding and changing and since the session takes place in the comfort of your own home, you’ll never be rushed.

  • If the baby isn’t over 3 weeks old and if I have an opening in my calendar I am happy to schedule you in. It all depends on availability and on how old the baby already is at the time of inquiring. Send me a message and we can discuss options. I’ve photographed older newborns too, especially if they were born premature.

  • You will receive your watermarked proofing gallery within a couple of days after the session. The images you choose from your collection will be edited and available for download within a week. No unedited images will be given out as this does not represent my work. You have the option of upgrading to the full gallery.

  • Depending on the collection you choose, you will receive 6, 10, 20 or all best images from your gallery. I do not give out raw images as I like to put out my best work, if you would like all images you have the option to upgrade to the Heirloom collection.

  • All images include color correction. Retouching is available on select favorites.

  • I provide all the props/hats/wraps/outfits that you see in my pictures. I’m always adding new items to my collection. If there’s a certain set up or prop you really love, be sure to let me know. Feel free to take a look at my website, Facebook or Instagram account for inspiration.

  • I recommend something pretty and comfortable. A nice flowy dress or blouse for mom, and a nice looking polo or t-shirt for dad. Pastel colors are perfect for family photos and I recommend sticking to solid colors. Black or white are always a good option and a classic look.
