Frequently Asked Questions


When should I book my newborn session?

During your second trimester is ideal. Newborn sessions happen when baby is about 5–14 days old, so I reserve a spot around your due date and we confirm the exact day once your little one arrives.


When should I schedule maternity photos?

Most mamas book between 28 and 34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round and you’re still comfortable.


Is my baby safe during the session?

Safety always comes first. With 12 years behind the camera and decades of experience handling babies, I follow your baby’s cues, keep them warm and content, and never force a pose.


What if my baby is awake or fussy?

Totally normal! Sessions are relaxed and unhurried, with plenty of time for feeding, changing, and cuddles.


Where do sessions take place?

In my Sun Prairie studio, outdoors, or in the comfort of your home.


What should we wear?

Soft, neutral, solid colors photograph beautifully. After you book, I’ll send my Newborn Prep Guide with outfit tips and everything you need to know.
