We think that the most generous gift you can offer you child is a memory of himself at that age, and we thrive to offer you the best personalised experience in a comfortable space. Newborn sessions usually last up to 3 hours, allowing plenty of time for smoothing, feedings and a variety of poses and set ups. I photograph newborn of around 5-14 days old. Older newborn sleep less and don't curl up as much. Here are some FAQ about our professional newborn photography sessions. A: We custom built our natural light photography studio to be as comfortable for you and your newborn to make it a pleasant experience, but also, we need to have full control on lighting and provide you with a great choice of props and backgrounds. Since we do not know about the conditions of your home, the space and lighting, we only offer newborn photography sessions in our studio. A: The ideal time is to contact us when you are pregnant. We can schedule an approximate date in our calendar, and we will give you tips for a smooth session. A: Newborns stay little for a very short amount of time, are very flexible and they stay in a deeper sleep. This allows us to place them in our wide range of accessories and to be able to pose them. After that period of time, the sessions get a lot harder, giving us less possibilities for providing you with the images we hare known to deliver our clients. A: We take the time it takes to provide you with great portraits, and this in a comfortable space with no stress. Depending on the collaboration of your baby, we give ourselves the time to feed and to go at his/her pace. We want the you to have a relaxing, stress free session, that considers the safety of the baby and it's comfort. A: YES! Of course! We take the time to provide you with some family pictures, including brothers, sisters, grand-parents or whom ever you judge as importance. We only need to limit a certain number of siblings, because of the size of our studio, but also, because we also organize the sessions in a certain manner. We ususaly take family pictures with the newborn at the beginning or very end, asking every one to leave afterward to make sure that the session with the baby is in a very calm and quiet environment. A: We retouch every portraits and with no extra fees. Small imperfections, teeth, signs of fatigue and some treatments that will make you look gorgeous. We understand that it can be quite a acomplishement to look great after just giving birth. A: We have many unique props that we provide you in our studio, ranging from antiques to backdrops and blankets. If you have some objects or concepts that you cherish, we can incorporate them in the sessions. We encourage you to look at the styles of portraits that we offer to make sure we are the proper choice for you as we have our own artistic views concerning props and acessories, and can't always accomodate requests if this conflicts with our style.

Here are some FAQ about our maternity photography session R:The ideal time is between 30 to 36 weeks. Your belly will show, and you will not be too swollen. It's also a good time in case the baby arrives prematurely, missing the opportunity to have belly pictures. A: We offer both services. We custom built our studio to be as comfortable for you to make it a pleasant experience, but we also have full control on lighting and access to all our specialized equipment. But, we also love to go outdoors or to your home when possible (especially in the summer time), and get creative with our locations to provide you with original and unique images. A: We take the time necessary to provide you with gorgeous images of you, your partner and also with your kids. Family / maternity sessions last about 1hr for a variety of poses, but we also offer mini maternity sessions that last about 30 minutes if you are interested in just belly shots with your partner. A: We take the time to include you, your siblings or anyone else that is important to you. Since we have a limited space, we can only accommodate a limited number of people.

A: Call us to book the session, or fill out our webform if you still have questions that are left unanswered.
We offer family photography with the baby, or mini-sessions with the baby by itself. Baby pictures at that age are great fun, as they smile easely and let their personality shine! We offer many props to choose from, and a multitude of backgrounds that will satify your senses. We have a great deal of experience to offer you gorgeous images of your little baby, that will last generations. Visit our BABY PHOTOGRAHY GALLERY for our latest trendy babies. I specialize in personalized portraits including newborn, babies, children and glamour photography using natural light in my studio, in your home or a great outdoor area. For babies, it is best to photograph them between 6 and 8 months when they start to sit by themselves but just before they start to crawl.
