WHERE WILL THE SESSION TAKE PLACE?

That’s totally up to you! We shoot entirely on location throughout Los Angeles and Orange County. Sessions can take place at your home, at the beach, in a park, or at another meaningful spot you have in mind. Not sure what’s best? We’re happy to guide you based on your vision and your child’s age. For example, babies who aren’t walking yet usually do best indoors at home, while toddlers and older kids often love an outdoor space where they can roam and play. We’ll help you choose the perfect location during the booking process—whether over email or on a quick call. We also travel to Ventura County for a $125 travel fee.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO SCHEDULE MY SESSION?

It really depends on the type of session you're planning—and your personal preferences! Here’s a quick breakdown to help guide you:

Maternity Sessions
 There’s no one-size-fits-all timing for maternity photos. It depends on how much you're showing and when you feel most comfortable. Some clients love capturing their bump earlier, while others wait until later in the third trimester. We’re happy to chat and help you find the timing that feels best for you.

Newborn Sessions
 For newborns, we recommend photographing your baby at home within the first 2–3 weeks—when they’re still tiny, sleepy, and snuggly. That said, we understand those first few weeks can be a whirlwind, so anytime within the first month is okay. Our approach is more about capturing real moments, natural beauty, and emotional connection—not props, baskets, or overly posed setups.

Milestone Sessions
 If you miss the newborn stage, don’t worry—there are so many other sweet spots to capture! Here are the ages we love most:

  • 6 months: Sitting up and giggling = pure joy

  • 9 months: Full of personality and on the move

  • 1 year: Standing or walking and full of wonder

We generally don’t recommend sessions between 1–3 months unless your baby is already holding their head up and full of smiles. If you’ve missed the newborn window, waiting until 6 months will give you more variety and stronger results—we want you to love your gallery!

DO YOU HAVE A PACKAGE TO DOCUMENT OUR BABY’S FIRST YEAR?

We do! Our Baby Steps Package is designed to document your baby’s biggest milestones throughout their first year.

WHO IS INCLUDED IN OUR SESSION?

Parents, grandparents, and pets are always welcome and included in your session at no additional charge. Capturing meaningful connections between family members is at the heart of what we do, and we’re always happy to include generational portraits and family pets as part of the experience.

HOW LONG DOES OUR SESSION LAST?

While we don’t place strict time limits on our sessions, the length is usually guided by your child’s mood and needs. Most sessions last between 1 to 2 hours. Newborn sessions can sometimes run a bit longer due to feedings and breaks, which we completely expect and plan for. As moms ourselves, we understand how unpredictable little ones can be—we’re flexible and prepared, so you can relax and enjoy the experience.

DO YOU USE PROPS?

Our style is clean, timeless, and lifestyle-focused. If you’d like to include props, we suggest bringing meaningful items like heirlooms, special toys, or handmade pieces. For birthday sessions, a small light-colored cake, a simple banner, or a birthday hat can be a sweet touch. We’re happy to collaborate and help you style the session in a way that feels personal while keeping the focus on what matters most—your family’s connection.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY SESSION AT HOME?

In-home sessions are easy and relaxed. No need for a perfectly clean or large space—we’ll find the best light and make it work. Most sessions happen in the primary bedroom, so we recommend a clean, simple comforter in a neutral or white tone. We may also use the nursery, living room, or shaded yard depending on the light.

WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Once you’re booked, we’ll send a full “Preparing for Your Session” guide with helpful tips. In general, keep it simple, timeless, and comfortable. Avoid bold patterns, logos, or busy stripes, and try to steer clear of solid white or black. Mid-tones and coordinated colors photograph beautifully. Most importantly, wear what feels good and reflects your personality.

CAN I HAVE THE DIGITAL FILES?

Yes! Most clients purchase digital images, either individually or as part of a package. All files are delivered in full resolution with no size restrictions. After your session, you’ll receive a proofing gallery with 90 to 200 images to choose from. We offer fine-art retouching and encourage adding a tangible product like an album or wall art to preserve your memories.

WHAT DOES A SESSION COST?

Our creative session fee is $300 for weekday sessions and $400 for weekends. The Baby Steps Package is $750 for three weekday sessions during your baby’s first year. After your session, you'll receive a proofing gallery with 100–150+ images. Most families invest between $500–$1500 on a package, though prints and digital files can also be ordered à la carte.
