FAQ

DO YOU HAVE A STUDIO?

Access to a studio space is available upon request.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STUDIO-STYLE NEWBORN & LIFESTYLE SESSIONS?

Studio Newborn sessions include professional studio lighting, equipment, and the use of props. They are posed, and focus on classic portraiture. With Lifestyle Sessions, your home is the backdrop. There are no props or studio lighting. The focus is on everyday life. 

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT WITH A NEWBORN SESSION?

For Studio Newborn sessions, you will meet me at the studio space or I come to you, and set up in your home. Props and outfits are provided for you.

For Lifestyle Newborn sessions, I come to your home and photograph family and newborn images where there is the most natural light in the home. Typically clients use their living room, parents bedroom, and/or the baby's nursery for these images.

DO YOU PROVIDE PROPS FOR NEWBORNS?

Yes, I do!. I invest in beautiful props from top vendors from all over the world! Your choice of props and color theme will be picked out prior to the session. My goal is always to create setups that focus on your baby and not the props. I love to create my images with neutral earth tones and textures. If there is something special you want to bring to have your baby photographed with please let me know ahead of time. I will be happy to incorporate it into your baby's session.

I SAW AN IDEA ON PINTEREST, CAN YOU RE-CREATE THAT IMAGE?

I will always do my best to capture any idea or style you may have in mind. However, baby's safety and comfort is my number one priority! A lot of what you see on Pinterest or around the internet may in fact be a composite image- aka "Photoshop magic". That being said, NO pose is guaranteed. Each baby has their own likes and dislikes. All my Newborn sessions are "baby lead". This means if baby is not happy with a certain pose, I will move on.

I MISSED THE NEWBORN WINDOW AND MY BABY IS OVER 2 WEEKS OLD. WILL YOU STILL PHOTOGRAPH THEM?

Yes, however, please understand the baby most likely will not be able to do newborn poses or wraps and will most likely be awake the entire session. Ideal newborn age for a session is 7-14 days.

** NO pose is guaranteed. All my sessions are "baby lead". Please see answer to question #5

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY SESSION?

All sessions include styling assistance or a custom style guide. This helps give you a visual idea on what styles & colors photograph best. Keep in mind, this is just a guide, and by no means set rules. If you want help styling your family, I'm here to help!

HOW MANY PICTURES WILL I GET?

I choose the BEST images from your session to edit. And every image is hand-edited! For a quick reference, with a Mini Session, you get about 15 images. For a full session you will get a minimum of 40 images.

HOW SOON UNTIL I GET MY PICTURES BACK?

Turnaround time is typically 3 weeks.

DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH WEDDINGS?

At this moment, I do not advertise that I photograph weddings. Right now, there is too much of a time commitment to weddings that would take away time from my own family & raising littles. **Occasionally, I will do very small ceremonies if my schedule allows.**

If you are interested in having me photograph a small, more intimate ceremony, you can email me: ashleyifftphotgraphy@hotmail.com.
