When is the best time to schedule a Maternity Session or Newborn Session?
The best time for a Maternity session is between 28-35 weeks because your bump at that time will be that nice size to showcase and you wont be too exhausted and swollen.
The best time for a Newborn shoot is ideally between 1-2 weeks after birth. This is due to the fact that they will be more sleepy and can be posed more easily because they are more moldable. After that timeframe, babies tend to be more alert longer ( not allowing for those cute sleeping baby photos) and are less moldable and more difficult to pose, I.E legs sticking straight out, arms flailing everywhere, able to 'bust out' of their swaddle etc. Some babies also tend to get baby acne after those two weeks.
Where is your studio?
My studio is in Reston, Va.
Where do you usually shoot if we pick an outdoor location?
Great question! I have shot at tons of locations in Northern Va, based on where you are located and where you would like to have your session, I will send out a list of options of locations.I also happily venture out to look for a specific type of location you had in mind for your shoot if need be!
What if I'd like Makeup/ Hair styling beforehand, can you recommend someone?
Yes! I have a couple makeup artists I have worked with so I can happily set you guys up and take care of that for your shoot!
Do your photos include a Print Release and do you offer prints to be purchased?
I do include a Print Release with your Gallery.
I do not offer the option to print at this time, but will be offering that option in the near future!
