Mini Newborn Sessions: How It Works

These sessions are offered on select days each month, with just 2–3 spots available per date. Booking your session in advance is required, and time slots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis…so the earlier you reserve, the more flexibility you'll have in choosing your preferred time.

Morning sessions are especially popular (and ideal!) since newborns tend to be sleepiest early in the day…after being up all night, of course.

What to Expect on Session Day

When you arrive, you’ll choose the colors, wraps, and styling you love. Your session will be relaxed and simple, lasting about an hour. Within 24 hours, you’ll receive a proofing gallery to select your 5 included images, with the option to purchase more if you’d like.

Fast Turnaround, Beautiful Results

You’ll be in and out in under an hour, and your proofing gallery will be in your inbox the very next day. Once you've made your selections, final edited images are delivered within 5 days.
