Location: Sessions can be held at your home or an agreed upon location. I use both natural and artificial light. If the weather is comfortable outside, your session can be held in a shaded area of your yard or at a favourite outdoor location, if it’s too wet or cold we can have playtime inside using window light.
What to wear: Keep clothing simple, nice bright colours, and stay away from any clothing with written logos as these can become dated. Favourites are layered outfits, bare feet, and babies in their birthday suits! If there is more than one child, outfits can be similar, but it's not necessary to have them matching

When to schedule
Please contact me early in your pregnancy so I can hold you a spot in the month you are due. Once your baby arrives, email or call from the hospital or shortly after you arrive home so we can schedule a time. Sessions are best when baby is just 5-10 days new!
It’s not uncommon for the session with a newborn to last 2-3 hours, allowing plenty of time to feed and comfort.
Preparation: Make sure everyone is well rested, and well fed. Relax and enjoy! Children can sense stressful energy and often react against it. If a child is not feeling well, it's better to reschedule. Outdoor session can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. If the plan is to meet at a park, then make sure to bring snacks, a drink, and outfit change and even wet wipes!
After the session: I will send a sneak peak after the session by email to share with family and friends. Please forward this email on! I strive to complete galleries as quickly as possible. Once proofs are done a password protected online gallery will be available to view and share. Once you place your print order and payment is made, please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery of print enlargements. Orders will not be placed until payment is received in full. All images will remain on file should you ever desire additional reprints at a later date.
