I am based in San Bruno, California. My studio address will be provided once your session is paid for in full.

Currently, I am open Tuesday - Saturday, and can take sessions on Sunday for an additional $65.00 to your session fee. I always recommend coming in sooner rather than later. I book up very quickly, especially on Saturdays. Generally, you can never book too early. My calendar is open 45 days in advanced at a time. NEWBORN SESSIONS: I always recommend my clients to book their newborn sessions when they are in their third trimester. This will give us ample time and flexibility to get you on my calendar for newborn photos. Coming when your baby is between 5 - 10 days old is the best time to get their photos taken. Any time later than this, your baby will become very difficult to work with. If your baby was born prematurely, you will have a little extra time and could come in when your baby is around one month old. For full term babies (meaning born at or after 37 weeks gestation), I will not take newborn sessions of babies who are older than 3 weeks. CAKE SMASH SESSIONS: I recommend booking one month before you'd like the photos by, especially if you are wanting the photos for invitations or photos to print for your child's birthday. All in all, please consider my turnaround time for photos when booking a session. My current turnaround time is between 2 - 3 weeks after your session.

Short answer, yes! For newborn sessions please bring your baby's pacifier (if they take one) for when they need comfort in between poses or prop changes. If you do not like the outfits I have available, you are more than welcome to bring your own. I have a changing table with extra diapers and wipes, if needed. I also have a nursing pillow and nursing covers for breastfeeding mothers and filtered hot water available for babies who are bottlefed. Various stretch fabric backdrops, props and outfits are available during newborn sessions and will be discussed during the booking process. For cake smash sessions, please bring your baby's outfit(s). I provide all of the decor personalized cake for cake smash sessions. Decor and cake design will be discussed during the booking process. For maternity sessions, please bring your own outfit(s) or other props you would like included with your session.

At this time, I do not. However, it is something I am considerng for the future.

Yes! The nonrefundable retainer and remaining balance of your session can be paid by anyone the invoice is sent to. If someone would like to purchase a session as a gift for you, I can forward the invoice to them. Just the same, someone else can purchase your gallery for you, prints, cards, and other items available in your photo gallery.

Four digital files - meaning four, individual digital files for downloading to your desired device(s) - are included with my regular photography sessions, unless otherwise stated. Mini sessions tend to have less files included while Deluxe sessions will have more files included with the session fee. However, you will always have the option to purchase more digital files from your personalized gallery post session. There are also separate photo packages available which include prints and albums. Prints are not given with photography sessions and must be purchased separately. At this time, my turnaround time for photos is between 2-3 weeks after your session date. All sessions are edited in the order that they were booked.

During every session, I do my best to go at the pace of your baby so they do not feel stressed or overwhelmed. If your baby needs a break at anytime, we will stop until they are comfortable enough to proceed. If I ever feel the need to stop a session, I will make that executive decision. However, I am a mom too - so please do not feel embarrassed if your child is acting up. There is nothing I haven't seen! I understand that my studio is a new space for them so it can be very overwhelming. We will work together to get the best photos possible within your session's time frame.

A Standard Cake Smash session with me includes: - 4 (four) free digital files, with option to purchase more - Personalized cake + decor - One backdrop option - Cake smash photos - Bathtub photos A Deluxe Cake Smash session includes everything a regular cake smash session has, but includes Parent / Sibling photos and instead of a regular bath, we will do a milk bath with fresh fruit + flowers Therefore, a deluxe cake smash session includes: - 6 (six) free digital files, with option to purchase more - Personalized cake + decor - Portrait photos (which may include parent/sibling photos) - Cake smash photos - Milk bathtub photos with fresh fruit + flowers. OR you can also opt to just do a regular bath Cakes are complementary to the session and your price will not be reduced should you decide to bring your own dessert.

If you would like, yes. However, matching personalized cakes are complementary to those who book a cake smash session with me. If you bring your own dessert, it will not change the price of the session. If you do not want to do a cake, we can also do donuts or "cakes" made out of fruit as alternatives. Please let me know if your child has any food allergies prior to your session. I am not responsible for any adverse reaction(s) your baby may have to the food if their allergies were not mentioned to me at the time of booking.

No, they do not. I provide the example invitations with your photo(s) from your session so you can see what an invitation would look like! If you are interested in purchasing the invitation for print or just digitally from me, please visit my SHOP for more details.

Yes! The themes of my mini sessions usually depend on the season and/or major holiday of that month. However, if there is something you have in mind that you do not see on my website, please feel free to reach out and we can discuss the best option for you. Please keep in mind, mini sessions are only 30 minutes and one theme. You cannot book a cake smash session, newborn session, maternity session nor family session as a mini session. If you are unsure of what photography session would best meet your needs, please contact me prior to booking.
