MORE QUESTIONS?

As a general rule of thumb, I like to schedule your maternity session shortly after you’ve told friends and family the exciting news! This will give us plenty of time to find a great day that works well for both of us. For newborn sessions, try to reach out 1-2 months before your due date to secure your spot. But again, it’s never too late to book a photo session so please ask!

The session fee includes a pre-session consultation, wardrobe and styling advice, full access to client closet and studio props, session shoot time, and professional retouching of images. It does not include any physical or digital images. Session fee starts at $250. Prints and products starts at $150, collections starts at $690. Select a photographer you can trust, with insurance and safety training, and a style that you love because you only have one chance to capture those precious newborn moments!

All newborns have a certain “look” to them. Usually within a week or two, that newborn-like quality starts to disappear and much harder to pose. The point of newborn photos is to capture that newborn look, so I always recommend photographing as early as possible. With that said, experienced newborn photographer like myself will make it work with extra patience and skilled craft, so don’t hesitate to reach out even if your baby has past that two-week time frame.

Your session duration typically ranges from 1 to 3.5 hours, with an average of around 3 hours for newborn photography sessions. Maternity and family sessions typically last an hour. We spent a lot of time soothing, hushing, rocking, and posing the baby so please expect the session to be longer during newborn sessions. Adding energetic toddlers can definitely lengthen session time as well.

You can trust me as your newborn photographer because I am safety trained, fully insured, and have extensive experience capturing the beauty of over a hundred newborns and babies. Your little one’s well-being and comfort are my top priorities, and my training ensures a safe environment throughout the photo session. With a wealth of experience, I understand how to handle and photograph newborns and babies with care, patience, and expertise, resulting in timeless and beautiful memories for you to cherish.

We work with our clients to determine the location that fits their needs. For newborn photography sessions, we typically do studio portraits located in my home studio nearby Regent University, Va beach 23464. We also do on-location, outdoor photographs such as a quaint park, garden, beach, in the woods, or even in urban settings. While I am primarily a studio photographer, I absolutely understand that this is a hectic time for you and you might not want to get out of your house, If you need us to travel to your home or a location for an event, feel free to send us a message to discuss!

Our expertise lies in capturing beautifully posed newborn portraits in our studio. We take care of all the arrangements, including props, outfits, and setups, which will be discussed and finalized during the consultation session. All you need to bring is your precious baby! To ensure a smooth newborn session, we provide a newborn prep guide during the pre-session consultation, which outlines all the important details that you should consider before the session. And here’s a crucial tip: try to keep your newborn awake for at least two hours (or as long as possible) before the session. This helps ensure they will be more inclined to sleep during the session, resulting in gorgeous sleepy shots.

For maternity and family sessions, the most important advice I can offer is to wear something you feel both comfortable and beautiful in. My second piece of advice is for you to choose safe, solid colors – neutral colors (black, white, gray, cream, tans, and browns) are the safest choice. It’s best to avoid clothing with text, patterns, or logos. Incorporating textures can add depth to photographs, particularly for Moms. So, aim for something simple yet classic that captures your essence.

Babies are babies, and of course they can be fussy, and that’s perfectly normal. It is exactly why newborn sessions typically last around 3 hours and baby sessions can easily be two hours because a significant portion of that time is dedicated to helping them stay calm and happy. Fussiness is something I anticipate and handle with care and I won’t and can’t force them into any poses or positions if they’re not in the mood. Your baby’s comfort and happiness are my priority throughout the session.

We provide a wide range of prints and products to suit your preferences. One of our signature offerings is the 10×7 matted prints, elegantly presented in an heirloom portrait collection box. This special box features a transparent acrylic window cover, allowing you to view and easily swap the images over time. Additionally, we offer gallery wrap canvas, metal prints, prints mounted on styrene, and beautiful albums. You will have the opportunity to explore and see all these wonderful products during the consultation. All products are printed with archival ink on archival materials which will last multiple generations.

We understand that life can be unpredictable. If you or your little one is feeling under the weather or if the weather isn’t cooperating on the day of your session, don’t worry! We’re happy to reschedule at no additional cost. However, please remember that a no-show without prior contact will result in the forfeiture of your session fee. Your satisfaction is essential to us, so reach out if you need to reschedule, and we’ll gladly accommodate you.

Of course! I love incorporating mom, dad and your other children/siblings into our session photos. While in most cases you, dad and baby will be the stars of the day, I believe it’s so important to have several photographs with the entire family — especially during my maternity and newborn sessions. Grandparents will be welcomed in the sessions as well. The session fee is the same for a family of 5 and under. Please ask about it if you are planning an extended family session.

Absolutely! While my primary focus is on newborns, kids, and family photography, I do offer events and headshots on occasion, especially for clients who have previously worked with me. If you’re interested in these services, feel free to get in touch, and I’ll be happy to provide more information and discuss scheduling options. Your photography needs matter to me, and I’m always here to accommodate whenever possible. Let’s create lasting memories together!

Of course. I will not take any photographs that you do not feel comfortable with. That goes for maternity, newborn and family sessions. Also, if you aren’t comfortable with me sharing images on social media or my website, speak at during the consultation and I certainly would not do so. 

“Our photos from Tintin are an absolute treasure. I look at them every day and am so thrilled to have them. We did newborn, sibling, family, and couple pictures. They are all spectacular! Tintin is very professional, nice, good at communicating/giving you details and timelines. Excellent value for the quality and artistry.
