FAQ
1. HOW TO BOOK A NEWBORN SESSION?
To book your session please fill out the booking form (you can find it in HOME page and at the bottom of each portfolio page.
After you filled out the form you also should pay the booking fee that is 100$ via Zelle. Your spot will not be reserved untill the booking fee is paid. The booking fee goes towards the final cost fee. It is not refundable and covers the photographer's time and talent.
After you filled out the form and paid the booking fee your spot is reserved by your EDD.
When you deliver - just message me and we will schedule a session day that will be comfortable for you.
2. WHEN SHOULD I BOOK A NEWBORN SESSION?
The best time to book a newborn session is when you're on your 3rd trimester.
Actually it is never too early, so if you know your EDD (estimated due date) - you can already book your spot.

3. WHAT HAPPENS IF EITHER BABY OR ME IS UNWELL AND UNABLE TO HAVE A SESSION ON A SCHEDULED DAY?
If you need to reschedule a session due to your or your baby's health issues - don't worry. We can reschedule your session day. I have a great experience in newborn style sessions for babies over than 2 weeks - up to 3 months.
But you should understand that the best time for a newborn session is when your baby is between 5-14 days old. After this age not all the poses can be available and session can take much more time..
4. CAN YOU COME TO MY PLACE AND MAKE AN IN-HOME NEWBORN SESSION FOR US?
Absolutely yes. I will take all the necessary props, outfits and equipment. You will get a studio quality photos in the comfort of your home.
The travel fee depends on your location.
5. CAN I STILL BOOK A NEWBORN SESSION IF MY BABY IS ABOUT OR OLDER THAN 1 MONTH?
Yes, you can. I used to make newborn shoots for babies up to 3 months old.
But you should understand that not all the poses can still be available for the baby and session can take more time, because they are not that sleepy and calm.
6. DO YOU PROVIDE ALL THE PROPS AND OUTFITS FOR BABIES?
Yes! I provide all the props, outfits, hats, headbands, swaddles & toys for a newborn session. You shouldn't buy anything.
Everything will be clean (I wash with gentle baby soap and sanitize all the props and outfits after every session) and ready for your session.
7. WHAT ARE THE SAFETY MEASURES YOU TAKE WHEN HANDLING NEWBORNS?
I have 4 years of experience in newborn photography and work with all the safety and hygienic measures:
1) All the props and outfits are washed with gentle baby soap and sanitized after every session
2) I always change my clothes and wash my hands before the session
3) I can work in a mask if you want me to
4) I will never do a pose if it is uncomfortable for a baby. Your baby can let me do one pose and will be against the other (because of gases or muscle tone, for example). I will try several times, but will never insist if it is uncomfortable for your baby and will suggest you the other pose.
8. WHAT IF I CAN'T DO A SESSION AT MY PLACE? DO YOU HAVE A STUDIO?
Yes, you can come to my studio. It is located in Brooklyn (11223).
9. CAN I ORDER A PHOTO ALBUM? WHAT ARE THE PRICES?
