YOUR PHONE CONSULTATION

#1

This is the first step to the process so we can discuss details like your due date, gender of the baby, if the baby has siblings, etc. Who you’d like to include in the portraits and what you plan on doing with them. IE use them to share on social media? Print them for your great room/family room, nursery? Annoucements? Albums, etc.

I want to learn what you’re envisioning for the session. I’ll go over all the details including the type of newborn sessions that I offer, detailed pricing and packages.

I will follow up via email with the detailed pricing and packages in writing and provide you a link so you can retain me and tentatively schedule your session about 14 days from baby’s due date. Once baby is born, you’ll contact me and we will reschedule the session about 14 days from baby’s actual birthdate.

PLANNING YOUR NEWBORN SESSION​

#2

After setting a date, we’ll be able to discuss all the possibilities for your little one’s portraits. Do you want a gorgeous album? A stunning canvas above the crib? Whatever your needs are, we’ll be sure to encompass the perfect plan just for you!

During this time, we’ll also be able to go over any and all questions or concerns you may have! Things like what your family should wear to make sure everyone looks their best and your baby bag essentials will also be discussed!

I want to make sure you are 100% confident the day of your session so that you can focus on your little one and their tiny beautiful features.

DURING YOUR NEWBORN SESSION

#3

Your newborn session will be relaxed, calm, and peaceful. I will carefully and gently guide your baby into darling poses that will have everyone who sees their adorable portraits go “awwwww”

Everything we need for your baby’s flawless session is here in the studio. We will have everything you need for a relaxing session. We will provide all the props, backdrops, wraps, hats, headbands, outfits, anything and everything you can think of we will have. Just bring the baby and we will take care of the rest. Help yourself to our coffee bar for Starbucks and/or refreshments and snacks.

We understand that you just had a newborn so most parents are pretty exhausted and we want you to relax and enjoy yourself as much as possible. We will take care of the baby from the time you walk in the door. We will play some relaxing music and Moving Art so you can relax during the session but you can also watch us pose and capture your baby. At the end of your session we will go over all the packages and collections. This is where you’ll choose and order your collection including albums, heirloom wood prints, canvases, etc.

"Joanna was very responsive to our initial inquiry for newborn photos and provided great information on how to prepare and options for our shoot. She was prepared when we arrived for our session. Her and her assistant were very efficient and handled our newborn with care and kindness. She took necessary precautions to protect our health was a safe and the studio was well organized and calming for our little one.

NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY FAQ'S

I recommend scheduling your session when you’re 3 months pregnant. Putting down a retainer fee will guarantee a session spot for you as I take a very limited amount of sessions per month. If you’ve already had the baby, you can still contact me to check my availability and I’ll try to squeeze you in.

When you book the session, you’ll tentatively schedule the session 7-14 days from your due date. Once Baby arrives, you will contact me and we will reschedule the session 7-14 days from baby’s actual birthdate. I only book a limited amount of newborn sessions per month so that I can have the flexibility to move your session if needed.

I offer two types of sessions. My Classic Session includes full family and sibling shots as well as my full newborn session. However, my Bundle Me Session only includes parent shots (no sibling or full family portraits).

I like to photograph newborns when they are roughly 7-14 days old. This gives Mom and Dad a week  to recover from getting adjusted with the baby and this time frame is also important because the baby can be very red or jaundiced the first few days after they are born. I’ve also found that between 7-14 days old is the best time as the baby is sleepy. This helps me pose the baby during the session.

Yes! I am a full service boutique studio so I will provide high end props, backdrops, outfits, headbands, hats, and lovies! I will also style the entire session for you!  All you have to do is bring baby.

Of course! You can absolutely bring an outfit or sentimental item that you’d like to incorporate into the session. If this is something you’d like to do, please let me know in advance so I can plan ahead on how I will incorporate that item or outfit into the session.

I recommend wearing neutral colors.  I typically photograph the family and parent shots from the elbow up.  We want the focus to be on the baby so I would recommend that we stay away from bold prints,  patterns and stripes and focus more on neutrals.

It depends on which session you choose. The Classic session can take up to 2-3 hours.  This allows us plenty of time to change backdrops, outfits, change baby or feed baby if needed. This also accounts for any time needed for settling. 

The Bundle Me Session is a 1 hour long session because the baby will be wrapped the entire session.

The session will take place at my home studio located in Upper Arlington. I have an 800 square feet boutique studio. There is a seating area, tv, wifi, and we encourage all of our clients to use that time to relax as they just had a baby and can be very tired.

I’ll provide all the outfits, backdrops, headbands, etc. You can bring diapers, wipes, a pacifier to help soothe the baby, a bottle (if you are breast feeding feel free to bring a pumped bottle) or if you are not pumping you are welcome to breast feed anytime during the session. You are also welcome to bring any snacks. Note: If you’re breast feeding you’re burning more calories than normal and if you’re here for a classic session you could be here for 2-3 hour so feel free to bring a snack!

I typically like to post a sneak peek for my clients within a day from their session so they can see at least one image before waiting to see them all (which can take 1-2 weeks for me to edit all the images).

The first step is to fill out the contact form above this section so I can learn a little more about you – ie when you’re due, what you’re having? Is this is your first baby? What are you envisioning? What do you plan on doing with the images? Then I will contact you to go over the two types of sessions that I offer, the process, how many images I’ll edit for each session and all the pricing information.

It typically takes 1-2 weeks for me to edit the images. After editing we will schedule a “Reveal and Ordering” appointment. At this appointment we will view all your images together. This is where you decide which package or digital collection you’d like to purchase. Once you select and pay for your package, I can send you the digital collections within 1-2 days. Prints can take about 1 week while albums, canvases and heirloom wood prints can take 2-4 weeks from the time I order them. Once all of the print product arrives at my studio, I will check everything to make sure great quality, undamaged and made exactly how I ordered them. We will then schedule a “Portrait Order Pick-up” where you can pick up your entire print order!
