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/
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 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 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 outfits or backdrops for 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?
All we need from you is a clean, flat floor space at least 8.5 feet x 5 feet. Please note that laminate or hardwood is required if you want us to use our faux wood paper backdrops. 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!
