FAQ
When is the best time to take newborn pictures?
The ideal time to take newborn pictures is within the first 8-14 days of baby’s birth. This age window is the best for capturing those sweet, scrunchy, sleepy newborn photos you see in our portfolio.
This is because most babies at this age are still sleeping most of the day and aren’t as likely to be distracted by noise or touch. Also, they still maintain their newborn curl which makes it possible to pose them and fit them in little baskets and buckets.
How do you schedule a newborn session when due dates aren’t certain?
I pencil in your baby’s due date on our calendar and plan for the session to take place within a range of a week before or after the due date. Once baby arrives, parents contact me within 48 hours of delivery and we schedule our official session date and time.
What do I bring with me TO MY NEWBORN SESSION?
Just you, the baby, and a few other necessities which i will inform you about prior to the shoot. I provide all kinds of props, blankets, wraps, headbands, and hats for both boys and girls in a wide range of colors.
HOW LONG DO NEWBORN SESSIONS TAKE?
On average, 2-4 hours as long as baby is happy and sleeping. But baby runs the show and we always listen to their needs.
Where do the sessions take place?
Your baby's first days are precious, and I believe they are best captured where your family feels most comfortable — at home. I travel to your home in Jerusalem and the surrounding area, bringing everything needed for a beautiful and relaxed newborn session, including wraps, blankets, and carefully selected props.
CAN PARENTS/SIBLINGS GET IN THE PHOTOS WITH THE NEWBORN?
I highly encourage parents to get in a few pictures with their newest little one. For dads, there is nothing quite like a tiny little baby in their big hands. Moms are sometimes more hesitant to get in the pictures. I completely understand that as a new mom, you are personally going through a lot of changes, both physically and emotionally and may feel like you don’t look your best. Plus lack of sleep can make you feel like you’re loosing your mind, but I assure you that I only photograph moms from the waist up and truly focus on your connection with your new baby. So don’t let those short-term things interfere with beautiful photos of you as a new mother or with your latest child. I promise you won’t regret it!
DO YOU GUARANTEE ALL THE POSES/SETUPS THAT I SEE IN YOUR PORTFOLIO FOR NEWBORN SESSIONS??
While I have the expertise to achieve all the poses and setups you see in my portfolio, it’s important to note that the success of each session is contingent upon baby’s cooperation.
How do I book a session?
To reserve your session date, a ₪500 deposit is required.
The deposit is included in the total session price and is not an additional fee. Your booking is confirmed once the deposit has been received.
What if my baby arrives earlier or later than expected?
For newborn sessions, the booking date is tentative. If your baby arrives earlier or later than expected, we will simply adjust the session date together to ensure we photograph your little one at the perfect time.
Can I reschedule my session?
Absolutely.
I understand that life with a newborn doesn't always go as planned. If you or your baby are unwell, or if another important circumstance prevents the session from taking place, your session may be rescheduled once at no additional charge.
Your deposit will be transferred to the new agreed date.
In exceptional circumstances, additional changes may be considered individually.
What happens if I cancel my session?
Because your session date is reserved exclusively for your family, the ₪500 deposit is non-refundable in the event of cancellation.
When is the remaining balance due?
The remaining balance is due on the day of your session.
