Maternity ~ Newborn ~ Milestones
Charlotte, NC | Fort Mill, SC | Tega Cay, SC | Rock Hill, SC | Lake Wylie, SC | Clover, SC
When and how to book your session...all the details!
It's never too soon to reach out and save your spot on my calendar!
Maternity sessions typically take place between 30-34 weeks before that glorious bump becomes too uncomfortable. I provide a large collection of photo friendly maternity gowns in a variety of styles and colors at no additional cost. Along with access to my gown collection I provide a specialized styling tool to help in selecting or purchasing clothing for the remaining family members. Outdoor sessions take place on weekdays at one of my locations around the area either early morning or late evening for best lighting. If you have a private location I am happy to scout it out as well. Studio sessions take place on weekdays at my formal home studio in Fort Mill between the hours of 8am-3pm. Underwater session times vary with time of the year. We'll discuss those details when booking.
Newborn sessions typically take place before your little one is 2 weeks old (but there are circumstances where babies will be a bit older due to unexpected issues out of your control). I provide everything needed for baby that you see in my images and family is welcome to join in as well. These sessions take place on weekday mornings only and last approximately 2 hours. A specialized styling tool is available for wardrobe planning as well but I am always happy to guide you through selections or help in choosing what you are comfortable in at that time.
- Studio sessions will include a variety of prop and non-prop setups, all of the detail images of baby's fingers, toes, etc. as well as family/parent/sibling images. With Covid precautions still in place there are no outside items allowed into the studio for your session. I have a vast collection so you only need to arrive with a freshly bathed, fed and hopefully sleeping baby! :)
- In-home sessions are purely lifestyle in nature around your home and nursery. I do bring along 2 swaddling wraps with coordinating specialty headbands and hats and one newborn outfit. These sessions include a variety of family/parent/sibling images as well as baby solo and all of the detail images of baby's fingers, toes, etc.
- To book your Newborn session I will prebook a date to hold your spot on my calendar. Then you will simply keep me in the loop if you deliver early or have a scheduled delivery so that I can adjust the date if needed to keep you within the ideal 2 week timeframe.
Milestone sessions are available on weekdays and planned around baby's nap schedule to capture them in their best mood. These can take place in my studio or outdoors. The most ideal ages are when baby is sitting up on their own for an adorable Sitter session (think smiles, bright eyes, grabbing toes!) or to celebrate their first birthday. First birthday can include a Smash & Splash (cake smash and bubble bath following capturing images of baby in all their 1 year cuteness!) or can simply be a session to capture baby's personality at this big moment in time.
***As with all things in life there are outstanding circumstances where things do not always line up exactly as planned. If you read through this information and feel as though you've missed your opportunity I encourage you to reach out and chat with me about your situation. This is simply generalized information to help in your planning process.***
