Q: CAN YOU HELP ME WITH THE STYLING AND DETAILS OF MY SHOOT?
A: Absolutely. Each of my portrait sessions include personalized assistance with location and timeline planning. Once you've secured your session, anticipate receiving the exclusive TLWP Newborn Session Guide - a wealth of valuable wisdom and resources including wardrobe tips, session preparation insights, vendor and location recommendations, and more. I'm here to ensure every detail aligns with your vision and needs.

Q: OUR HOME ISN'T THE AESTHETICS THAT I WANT FOR MY SESSION, WHERE CAN WE DO THE PHOTOS INSTEAD?
A: Not an issue at all! I provide a curated list of recommendations for clients seeking a beautiful indoor space for their session.

Q: HOW DO YOU APPROACH SAFETY DURING NEWBORN SESSIONS?
A: Safety is paramount in every aspect. I prioritize your little one's well-being by maintaining rigorous hand hygiene before, and during, the session and I always contact clients in advance to discuss re-scheduling if I am feeling unwell in any way. Handling each baby with utmost care, I never place them in unnatural or unsafe poses for the photos. During the session, my level of involvement in posing and caring for your little one is entirely tailored to your preferences.

Q: WHAT IS YOUR EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH BABIES?
A: With a rich 13-year history of capturing special moments for families with newborns and now a mother of two little girls myself, I've gained profound insights into the world of babies. My expertise extends from pregnancy to parenthood, allowing me to deeply connect with clients navigating the extraordinary journey of parenthood, all the while capturing the moments that I know, just as I have with my babies, you will treasure for a lifetime.

Q: CAN SIBLINGS AND PARENTS JOIN IN THE PHOTOS DURING THE NEWBORN SESSION?
A: Yes! Parents and siblings are more than welcome to join the session. Typically, my newborn sessions include captures of the whole family, parents and baby, siblings and baby, and solo photos of the newborn, ensuring a comprehensive collection of cherished memories.

Q: HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO I NEED TO BOOK? HOW DO I BOOK?
A: Elevating your experience is my priority, and to ensure each client receives personalized attention, I intentionally limit my bookings each year. Securing your spot in my exclusive calendar is best achieved by reaching out as early as possible once you enter your second trimester. Begin the process by submitting your detailed request through the inquiry form to check availability. If you successfully secure a spot, excitement awaits as we begin this journey together towards beautiful moments and an amazing experience.

Q: WHAT AGE IS BEST FOR NEWBORN PHOTOS?
A: Ideally newborn photos are captured within the first 2 weeks of birth, although the Newborn Collection is designed for any session involving a baby 3 months or younger. The extended time in this collection helps ensure a stress-free experience, allowing time for feedings, changes, and more.

Q: FOLLOWING THE NEWBORN SESSION, WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY BABY IN FOR UPDATED PHOTOS?
A: Clients also often opt for capturing other notable milestones at 6 months, 9 months, and/or 1 year with my signature 1-hour portrait session package.

Q: HOW DO YOU BOOK A DATE IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN THE ACTUAL DUE DATE WILL BE?
A: We select a date around the 2-week mark from your estimated due date. The booking and the date are flexible, acknowledging the unpredictable nature of birth.

Q: HOW DO YOU ACCEPT PAYMENT?
A: Payment is seamlessly facilitated through Email Money Transfer (EMT) using online banking. Credit is also accepted if necessary, with additional fees applicable.

Q: HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE?
A: Timeless and artistic, with a film-inspired look. My approach blends classic poses, candid moments, and creative imagery. Throughout the session, I guide clients through photo prompts and offer flattering posing assistance to ensure a collection that exudes connection and warmth.

Q: DO YOU CHARGE A CANCELLATION FEE?
A: No cancellation fee is charged. The 50% retainer, which secures your date and time, is non-refundable as it reserves my availability exclusively for you. However, exceptions are considered given on the nature of the session.

Q: WHAT IF I NEED MORE TIME?
A: The Newborn Collection generously includes up to 2 hours of time dedicated to photography and allowing for the care of your little one. Should you wish to extend the experience, you can request additional time at an overtime hourly portrait rate of $300+tax/hour.

Q: HOW DO WE RECEIVE OUR PHOTOS?
A: Your high-resolution, professionally edited digital images will be delivered through an elegantly curated online client gallery, offering seamless options for downloading, sharing, and preserving. Elevate your experience with exciting upgrades and products found directly in your gallery, including additional digital images, quality prints, and more. This gallery, a digital home for your memories, remains accessible for a generous 1 year, with the flexibility to extend this timeframe for your utmost convenience.

Q: WHERE ARE YOU BASED? DO YOU TRAVEL?
A: Nestled just outside the city of Halifax, I'm thrilled to travel to my clients, ready to bring my services to the location that speaks to your heart. The Newborn Collection includes travel for local sessions, while for more distant destinations, travel fees are calculated thoughtfully to ensure a seamless experience tailored to your preferences.
