ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SCHEDULING?​

- Yes! Please keep in mind your child’s nap schedule and vaccinations. Our goal is to photograph a happy baby! Although they are always unpredictable in how they will act once here, We like to get as many factors on our side as possible. So please do not schedule your photos for at least a few days after they get a vaccine to ensure they aren’t fussy or sore from it. Also, please let us know when the baby typically naps so I can do my best to schedule a time when they are fresh and not ready to go to sleep. Also, feed your baby before coming so they are not hungry.

- Once you arrive at the studio, If at any point during the session the baby gets cranky or for any other reason we cannot continue taking photographs, rescheduling fees will apply to reschedule the session.  We only schedule one session per day to ensure our studio is sensitized for the safety of our clients.

(​​NOTE: We have rescheduled only 2 sessions till now in 9 years. Most babies get comfortable at the studio from the start and if they are not they get comfortable within 10-15 mins after giving them time, and calming them. Most of the time parents also trust us and our advice during the session so it confirms the successful session. Rescheduling only occurs when the steps that we have mentioned before the session are not followed, or the baby is too uncomfortable at a new place. This happens rarely. )
