FAQ

• What type of photography do you offer and what options are available for my shoot with you?

I photograph maternity, newborns, babies/children and families.

Maternity session – The ideal time to photograph an expecting mom is between 32-36 weeks, but it can be done right up until your due date as well. Maternity sessions can take place at either my home studio or at an outside location of your choice. I will be happy to recommend some locations to you. An information document will be sent to you upon booking.

Newborn session – I offer two types of newborn photography. The lifestyle/home option and the posed/studio option.
