STUDIO INFORMATION

FAQ

Where is your studio?

We are located in Downtown Vancouver at Unit #603 - 318 Homer Street. All newborn sessions take place at our studio.

Do you offer maternity sessions?

No, we specialize in quick, budget-friendly newborn photography only. However, we recommend Amber Theresa Photography for beautiful high-end outdoor maternity photos.

What dates & times are sessions?

Newborn sessions are booked Monday to Saturday starting at 11:00am. Weekend dates are reserved for our top packages.

Who can come to the session?

Only parents may attend the session, and siblings if they are being photographed. Please do not bring extra guests to your session unless you are a single parent with a support person.

When to book newborn photos?

We accept babies anywhere from 3 days to 3 months old! If booking in advance, there is a $50 non-refundable retainer required to reserve your due date and guarantee a session after baby's arrival. If you are reserving your due date in advance, you must be at least 35 weeks pregnant.

Do we choose the setups for baby?

All setups are pre-designed by the studio and customized with your favourite colours through a questionnaire after you book! All props that our studio carries (such as baskets, buckets, beds, etc) are shown in our portfolio. Please note that we offer wrapped poses only. Please see our portfolio for examples of what style of posing to expect.

What does the studio provide?

The studio provides all headbands, hats, wraps, and props for newborn sessions. We do not provide outfits for family members.

What type of editing do you do?

Our editing process consists of enhancements in our signature style, colour and exposure correction, skin tone balancing (including redness/jaundice for newborns), gentle skin softening, and distracting background item removal (at the studio's discretion). We do not remove or edit birthmarks, milk spots, Mongolian blue spots, stork bites, umbilical stumps, umbilical clamps, dry skin or acne. Our skin softening process reduces dry skin and acne, but we do not completely remove them in order to maintain a more natural appearance.

How do we choose our photos?

A few days after your session you will receive an online watermarked proof gallery to choose your favourite photos.

When do we get our photos?

Final images will be delivered to you via online gallery that you can download from within 3 weeks of choosing your favourite images.

Can we purchase extra images?

Yes! Additional digital images may be added to any package starting at $25 per individual image.

Do you sell prints, albums, etc?

We only offer digital images, but you are welcome to print your own digitals any way you would like!

"We are absolutely thrilled with our photos from Willow and Thistle Photography. Amber our photographer was amazing with our baby and captured such precious beautiful photos of our little one as well as memorable family photos! When we booked the photo shoot we thought we would be lucky to get one good photo of our little one as she was just over 8 weeks old and knew our baby would likely be awake the whole time. We were delighted when we had such a hard time choosing which photos as part of our package!"
