Pre-booking Newborn Frequently Asked Questions
When to Book:
I recommend booking your newborn session well in advance of your due date. We will mark your due date on our calendar and, once your baby is born, you'll contact me to coordinate schedules. We'll select a date when your family feels settled in at home and is ready to capture some magical photos.
