IMPORTANT DETAILS BEFORE YOU BOOK
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you have a studio location?
No, all of our newborn sessions takes place in the comfort of your own home. We travel from Hope to Whistler and everywhere in between!
Who photographs the session?
Our photographer is Amber Theresa Photography, you can learn more on her website at: https://ambertheresaphotography.com/
What age are newborn sessions?
Our classic newborn sessions are designed for babies up to 6 weeks 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 32 weeks pregnant.
What age are older baby sessions?
Our older baby sessions are designed for babies 6 weeks of age up until around 1 year of age.
Do you travel during winter?
Yes, we do! However, we do not travel during active snowfall or on the first snowfall of the season due to traffic conditions. If it is actively snowing on the day of your session, we’ll reach out to reschedule for a time that's safe for our photographer to travel.
What dates & times are sessions?
Newborn sessions take place Monday to Sunday starting between 9:30am to 10:30am. The goal is for our photographer to arrive by 10:00am; however, the actual start time depends on your location as well as traffic and weather conditions on the day of your session.
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 for newborns only. Please see our portfolio for examples of what style of posing to expect.
Do you bring the props & backdrops?
The studio provides all headbands, hats, wraps, and props for newborn sessions. We do not provide outfits for older babies or family members. For packages that include family photos, the photos are taken against a wall in your home as the backdrop.
What do I need to provide?
We need a clean, flat floor space at least 8.5 feet x 5 feet to setup and take photographs in your home. Please note that laminate or hardwood flooring is required if you want us to use our faux wood backdrops, otherwise all sets will feature our faux fur backdrops. For older babies over 6 weeks old the parents must provide the outfits for baby. If your package includes family photos, we also need access to a blank neutral colour wall space.
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 4 weeks of choosing your favourite images.
Can we purchase extra images?
Yes! Additional digital images may be added to any package for $25 per image.
Do you sell prints, albums, etc?
No we don't, but you are welcome to print your digitals any way you would like!
