The Details

Your Images - I capture more than the number of images included in your session so you have plenty to choose from. You'll receive a gallery of unedited proofs, typically within 7 business days of your session, where you'll select your favorites. Those images will then receive full custom editing for a polished, professional editorial look. Final edited digital images are delivered within 7 business days of your selection. Unedited proofs are not available to download.

When to Book - It’s never too early to book a session. Since we don’t know exactly when your baby will arrive you will begin by reserving a spot. This will guarantee Sarah will have sessions avaialble for you within the first 5 weeks after the baby’s birth. This is when they are most sleepy and cooperative for posing and fitting nicely in props.
