Traditional Newborn Session

I will bring various blankets, hats, a posing pod and other items ideal for a newborn session. Newborn sessions are done in the baby’s home.

I will bring a blanket for sibling photos (if applicable) and one swaddle ideal for newborn/infant photos if you do not have an outfit you prefer to use. This session is ideal for those who want newborn photos focused on the family with their new baby and simple shots of the newborn alone.
Family Session (outdoors)
· $265 – 35+ high-resolution images and printing rights; **Up to a family of 5** To account for editing time, it is $25 for each additional child. This is an outdoor session and includes portraits of individual children in addition to group shots. **image number refers strictly to single family sessions**

· Senior Full session $300 (3-4 outfits, 40 high-resolution images + black/whites and printing rights)
All Photography Sessions Include:
· An online gallery for sharing and from which you can download the high resolution digital files for personal use and a print release
· Consultation to discuss your upcoming photo shoot in detail -‐ via email or phone
· For a Full/Family session and Mini session, the pricing is based on the number of edited images not the session length. In general, full sessions typically take about 30-40 min, Mini- sessions 15- 30 min (senior sessions do take longer). Newborn sessions about 2 hours. This merely serves as a guide for your planning purposes, but generally speaking moving fast keeps kids happier and more engaged. I promise, we don’t need hours to get that perfect shot :) And I would never end a session if I didn’t have the shots I wanted!
· Your choice of location within the western suburban area (I can definitely help you with this choice!) A $30 travel fee will be applied for distances from 15 up to 30miles outside of Wheaton due to the cost of gas and time. At this time I do not travel more than 30 miles outside of the Wheaton area. Thank you for understanding.
· Digital files will be stored for 6 months
NOTES:
It is recommended that newborn photos be taken in the first week to two weeks.
Location permit fees: Please be aware that several popular locations do require a permit in order to use their facility for professional photography. I do carry a DuPage County Forest Preserve Permit, making those locations accessible. In order to keep my costs low, I cannot fully absorb fees at Cantigny and the Morton Arboretum. I am happy to recommend a location!!
A session agreement and a $50 deposit are due at the time of booking and will be applied to session fee. The remainder is due the day of the session. Deposits are to reserve your time and date. Deposits are non-refundable.
Deposits are transferable to an agreeable date should inclement weather prohibit photography.
