Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you located?

I am based in Florida, covering Wesley Chapel and the surrounding areas.

What is your photography style?

My style is focused on minimalism and simplicity. I use soft natural light, clean white/neutral backdrops, and simple styling so that your baby remains the true focus of every image.

When should I book your services?

You can book as soon as your baby is approaching the specific milestone you’d like to capture!

When do we get our images back?

The gallery delivery can take up to 3 weeks.

Do images get posted online? If so, could I choose the images used?

Your privacy is always a top priority. While I love sharing the magic of our sessions online, I only do so with your explicit permission. We can easily review your gallery together to decide which specific images you are comfortable sharing. If you prefer to keep your entire gallery completely private, I am more than happy to honor that.

Can I make monthly payments?

After the 50% deposit has been completed, a payment plan can be arranged if the session is booked more than a month in advance.

HOW OLD DOES your BABY HAVE TO BE FOR THEIR MILESTONE SESSION?

Milestone sessions are completely based on development rather than an exact age. It is best if your baby can comfortably do one of the following on their own: sit, crawl, or walk. If they still need physical support to sit up, we may be limited in the variety of poses we can safely capture.

CAN PARENTS PARTICIPATE IN THIS SESSION?

Yes! Parent photos can be included at no extra cost, but you must request and plan them before your session. Because our studio space is small, full family poses are limited, so we focus on sweet, simple parent-and-baby connections.

What if I don't want to do a cake smash for the First Birthday Session?

No problem at all! The session can be done entirely without a cake. We will focus on two timeless milestone portraits using our clean white backdrop and simple balloon garland setup.

Why are session rates currently discounted?

We recently relocated and reopened our studio in the area! To welcome new local clients and introduce our services to the community, we are offering an exclusive, affordable introductory rate for a limited time before regular studio pricing resumes.
