Make time stand still
I’m here to answer any questions you have. I want you to come to your session ready to be taken care of. Expect a preview of the client closet, hair and make-up recs and more.
PLANNING YOUR SESSION
GET IN TOUCH
Fill out my contact form, and I’ll get back to you right away. A signed contract reserves your space on my calendar, then let the pampering begin! For maternity, I recommend your session in weeks 32-36; for newborn, we’ll choose a session day that’s 7-10 days after birth.
About 2 weeks after your session, I’ll deliver your fully edited images in a secure, online gallery. From there, I’d love to help you choose an album or prints! Interested in my Baby Book offering? Check that out below.
PHOTO DELIVERY
YOUR SESSION DAY
My priority is your comfort. I’ll gently guide you (and your baby) through the experience, with plenty of breaks to nurse, soothe or just take a break. There’s no rush!
One more step....

Typically, newborn sessions last between 1 to 1.5 hours, and it's advisable to plan for the full 1.5-hour session. Due to the delicate nature of newborn photography, these sessions often take longer than other baby portrait sessions.
how long will the session last?
Newborn Photography Sessions are scheduled in my Cedar Rapids studio. Designed for complete comfort for your family and optimal lighting to achieve the images you see in my portfolio, all items needed for the newborn photoshoot to take place are provided at the studio.
where do the sessions take place?
Newborn sessions are best when your infant is within the first 7-21 days of birth.
how old should my baby be for the session?
Anytime in your second or third trimester, however if your little has already arrived - don't panic - I have a flexible schedule and will be able to get you in.
when should i book a newborn photo session?
