Newborn sessions take place in my Shiloh, IL studio, where I create the perfect environment for your little one—with ideal lighting, a cozy room temperature, and a calm, controlled setting. This helps ensure a smooth, safe, and successful experience for both baby and parents.
A 50% retainer of $150 is due at booking to secure your date, with the remaining $150 balance due 5 days before your scheduled session.
When to Book
It’s never too early to reserve your newborn session!
- Warmer months and holiday seasons tend to book quickly, while winter months often have more flexibility.
- If your baby arrives earlier or later than expected, we’ll simply adjust your session date as needed.
- When booking, I’ll tentatively schedule your session for the first availability following your due date.
***For the best results, sessions are typically scheduled within the first two weeks after birth***
