______________________
To Get Started: To secure your spot on my calendar, please reach out so we can begin the booking process. A non-refundable retainer fee of $50 is required at the time of booking. This fee will be applied toward the total session cost.
Newborn Sessions are Time-Sensitive Due to the nature of newborn photography, I only accept a limited number of sessions each month to remain flexible for your baby’s arrival. To ensure a spot, I recommend booking in advance, as availability is not guaranteed once my calendar fills. Once your baby arrives, please contact me as soon as possible so we can schedule your session. The ideal timing for newborn sessions is between 3-10 days old, with 14 days being the latest for capturing those authentic, early newborn moments. Please note that pricing is subject to change, and quotes are valid for two weeks only. Sessions are not officially booked until both the contract is signed and the retainer fee is paid.
As a mother myself, I understand how overwhelming this time can be. Rest assured, I am here to take care of both you and your baby. All you need to do is show up, and I’ll handle the rest—pampering you and your little one. In fact, many moms have even been able to catch a much-needed nap while I photograph their baby! My goal is not only to provide you with stunning photographs, but also to create a memorable, stress-free experience. I truly hope we have the opportunity to work together and capture this special time in your life. Warmly, Amy
PS If your baby has already arrived and is older 1 month + I do offer two types of Grow with me Collection please reach out for more information on those.
