The Newborn
Experience
"Brianna has some serious baby magic up her sleeves”
- Erra-Lynn
Adding a new child to your family is a huge milestone and deserves to be remembered with beautiful photos, I would be honoured to be the one to capture these moments for you. My style of photography leans towards capturing love and connection with natural poses, neutral tones and a timeless feel.
The Studio
Newborn sessions take place in my home-based studio. Here I have created a warm and inviting environment that is perfect for taking newborn pictures. I have a large daybed for connective family photos, lots of plants and greenery, my giant bean bag for posing baby, and my huge strobe light which helps achieve those beautiful soft colours in my editing.
I also have a little sitting area for clients to relax (I've even caught a few people getting cozy and taking a nap) and a little play area for siblings. Learn more about my studio HERE.
The Session
After reserving your due date in my calendar, we will wait to book an actual session date once baby arrives (I recommend booking between 7-21 days old). The session typically takes 2-3 hours, but this can vary depending on baby (you can't simply tell them what to do). With over ten years of experience very little fazes me and I will use my bag of tricks to help settle baby and keep them happy throughout the session.
The Wardrobe
Over the years I have built up quite the wardrobe for my clients to choose from. These include dresses for mom, heirloom outfits and wraps for baby, headbands and bonnets, plus outfits for toddlers and older siblings. You won't need to worry about dressing up to come to your session, just show up in something comfortable and I will help style your session to look beautiful.

How Pricing Works
The session fee includes your session time as well as a curated proof gallery. The session fee will act as your retainer fee and does not include any digital files or prints. After your session you will select a collection to purchase, these can be found below.
This way, you’re only paying for the images you truly love from your session. Images that are not selected as part of your purchased collection will not be included in your final gallery.
Total investment begins at $495, including your $195 session fee and base collection purchase. The average client investment is approximately $800.
After our session is over it is my hope that we will be able to create some beautiful print products together. As a bonus
each print package includes extra FREE images (such a win-win!). I just happen to run a fine art photo lab called Talus Prints so I can offer incredible pricing on our print packages. All of the collections include museum grade prints.

After viewing your proof gallery, you'll choose your favourite images based on the collection you purchase. Every collection includes both digital images and beautiful high quality print products, with options ranging from 10 images to your full gallery.

The Process
Step one
INQUIRY (You are Here!)
All you have to do is say YES! Secure your booking with payment of the retainer fee, sign a portrait agreement and we can begin the fun stuff!
Step THree
CONFIRM THE PLAN
Once baby arrives you'll let me know and we'll book your session date! These are booked Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays (summer studio hours do differ slightly).
Step Four
SHOOT DAY
The best part! We get to meet and capture all the best memories.
Step FIVE
PROOF GALLERY
About 1 week after your session I will send a lightly edited proof gallery, from here you will be able to select the images you want to keep based on the collection you purchase.
Step Two
PREP BEGINS
You'll be sent some info on how to prepare for your session. Nothing too crazy but we will go over outfit options and what to do the morning of your session.
Step SIX
DELIVERY
After you have selected your images I will go through and put the finishing touches on them (baby skin can be a little messy so scratches and blemishes will be removed). Once your final gallery is sent you'll be able to download the fully-edited images and we will begin the process of working on the print products!
