Frequently Asked Questions

---

1. The ideal age for newborn photography is within one month, the best time is 5-15 days. 
2. For babies that haven’t arrived yet, please give me your due date and I will keep a date open for you.  Send me a confirmation when the baby actually arrives. If necessary the date can be rescheduled.
3. No on location service available at the moment for newborns. I only do it in my studio. I have a large selection of props & backgrounds, a stable light source, and the photos are guaranteed to turn out well and meet your requirements. Babies are safe & comfortable! 
4. Not everyone who can operate a camera is capable of photographing newborns. A professional newborn photographer must possess ample patience and experience in caring for infants, such as feeding the baby, burping them, changing diapers, and most importantly, knowing how to soothe the baby to ensure they are safe and comfortable for variety of poses. Additionally, they must skillfully select swaddling fabrics and props that complement the baby's skin tone to achieve various poses and setups. I am glad that you found me,  I have over 10 years experience,  I am a Professional Award-winning Newborn Photographer who is able to pose your baby comfortably & safely! as soon as you arrive here, I will take care of the little one.
