Newborn and Baby Photography FAQs

Nope! I’m happy to work with clients that just want a newborn session.

Ultimately it’s up to you. We can discuss the optimal time for you during your virtual chat. I do have some general guidance in regards to that though and you can find that information on my blog post on when it is best to schedule newborn photos.

I recommend booking as soon as possible, as the earlier you book the more availability I’ll have.  At minimum, I recommend booking while you’re still pregnant. It allows us to design your session before baby comes, so that you can just focus on baby after baby’s birth. You can find more information about that on my post that discusses newborn session timing.

Yes. All clients choose a digital image file collection, which includes high-resolution digital image files with a personal print release. You decide which collection you’d like after you see the images from your session.

Yes. I work with only professional level printers and offer a series of handmade, archival albums that you can add on to your digital image file collection. Some collections also include album credit.

The session is for the whole family. Whoever that includes is up to you. It can be just parents and baby. Or parents, baby, and baby’s siblings. Or parents, baby, baby’s siblings, and grandparents. It’s completely up to you on who to include.

Nope! Not at all. Working with primarily pregnant women and smaller children has led me to scout only for locations that require at most a 10 minute walk for the entire session. Although it looks like my sessions require a hike (that’s what I’m going for after all!), they don’t.

Yes! That is an absolutely, yes! I love it when we have fur babies participate. Two things to keep in mind though. First is that we will be more limited on outdoor locations with fur babies. Second, it is best to bring a friend along to help with the fur baby in between photos and when they aren’t in them.

Definitely! The more the merrier. If any family is in town when you’re having your newborn session, make sure to tell them to pack something nice to wear for newborn photos!

Not all locations require permits. In fact, most of the locations I work at do not require them. If you do choose a location with a permit though, I take care of getting the permit for that location.

My studio covers permit fees for Rocky Mountain National Park, Larimer County, Jefferson County, and Boulder City. Most locations in Boulder County and Weld County do not require permits.

If you choose a location where the fees is not taken care of by my studio, I’ll take payment for the permit fee when you’ve settled on a location (usually during the design meeting) and I will take care of obtaining the permit.

Yes, I have liability insurance that is industry standard.  Yes, I am fully licensed.  I carry a Colorado business license and am in good standing with the state.  I also carry a business license for each city/county in which I operate in and requires one.  I am also licensed to collect sales tax.  

Yes, I photograph with full frame, professional level, Nikon photography equipment.  I edit all photos using professional level Adobe software.
