Consultation
Every session begins with a conversation! Let’s chat!
I offer complimentary In-Person Consultations here in my studio where we can go over all of the details and plan for your unique, customized Maternity or Newborn session that fits your needs. My utmost goal with every session is to provide the best memorable experience possible to each and every family.
A non-refundable Session Fee of $290 is required to reserve your spot. The Session Fee includes the pre-session consult and planning, studio shooting time, use of luxury gowns & wardrobe, sibling shots, full use of props, professional lighting, backdrops, and accessories by leading vendors in the photography industry, and of course the editing and retouching of all your images. For Maternity portraits, it includes professional Hair and Makeup.
Please note that most sessions are booked 3 months in advance and I only take a limited number of sessions per month to ensure quality.
The Session
Sessions take place in my home-based studio in Waldwick, NJ.
Maternity Sessions take about 4 hours including professional Hair & Makeup by a talented Artist. This will be YOUR time. You will be pampered and taken care of, and you will feel like a goddess during the photoshoot! You do not need to have any modeling skills to rock your Maternity photoshoot. I will help you by guiding you through different poses and showing you how to do each pose in the most flattering way possible to bring out the best in you.
Newborn photography sessions normally take about 3-4 hours depending on the baby. During this time, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a cup of coffee with some snacks, and let me take care of the rest! I promise you to make this experience as enjoyable and memorable as I can!

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the session fee include digital files?
With every portrait you purchase, you will receive its matching digital file. So you get the best of both worlds! A print to hold on to, and a digital file to share with friends and family!
What are your Covid 19 safety measures?
I wear a mask throughout the session and make sure to thoroughly wash my hands before each session in addition to using hand sanitizer regularly. Props, wraps, and backdrops are sanitized/washed after each session and no shoes are allowed in the studio.
How do you clean/sanitize your Maternity gowns or Newborn outfits/wraps?
If there is no visible stain, or intense odor or sweat, Maternity gowns are sprayed with a disinfectant spray after each use due to their delicate nature and high price tag. Otherwise, they are sent to a dry cleaner. Clients are always advised to come with a clean skin with no perfume or scented body creams.
Newborn under wraps are always washed after each use. Outer wraps and backdrops are sanitized if there is no milk, pee or poop. Otherwise they are washed in the washing machine. Outfits are hand washed due to their delicate nature.
Can we get the raw files?
The only digital files I offer are fully retouched ones and purchased for full price within a collection. I own the Copyright to images taken by me and my contract doesn’t allow anyone else but me to edit the images. Raw files are not for sale.
What is your average turnaround time?
Your gallery will be ready within 2 weeks for you here in my studio where we view all the images together and put your order.
How long have you been doing this?
I’ve been officially in business since fall of 2021.
