NEWBORN INVESTMENTS
Newborn Sessions
Each photo session includes 2 hours worth of shoot time with unlimited outfit changes and location changes, as well as a CD (with a case) that contains anywhere from 15-30 processed photos. Each CD comes with a print release that will allow a single individual permission to print photos of any size at his or her photo lab of choice. Please keep in mind that a print release does NOT grant legal copyright ownership to anyone but the legal owner/artist of the photos. Please understand that newborn sessions can take a very long time because the baby is ultimately in charge. Be patient with me and allow me to do my job in order to ensure that you get your moneys worth. I encourage that you kep your baby wide awake for at least two hours before his/her session and then feed him/her a RIGHT before his/her session. *I will only travel to your home for an added cost. Otherwise, please make arrangements to come to my place of work.
