Irina is INCREDIBLE! I felt a little frazzled heading into the photo shoot 2 weeks postpartum and she made the whole experience feel so peaceful. Her studio is gorgeous and I couldn’t be happier with how our photos turned out!

The best time to reach out is during your second or third trimester to ensure availability around your due date.
For those sleepy, curled-up newborn portraits, I typically schedule sessions within the first 5 to 15 days after birth.
However, since my studio experience is baby-led and relaxed, I am happy to capture beautiful newborn images at any age.
-
Don’t worry! With years of experience, I am used to fussy babies. We follow your baby's lead, allowing plenty of time for feeding and soothing. My goal is a calm, baby-led experience.

Newborn sessions typically last around 2 hours.
I never rush, we simply follow your baby’s pace and take the time needed.

You don’t need to worry about bringing much.
I provide everything for your baby — wraps, blankets, and simple outfits.
For moms, there is a carefully selected client wardrobe in the studio, and most moms find something they love there.
You’re always welcome to bring anything personal if you’d like.

You are more than welcome to bring your own clothes if you have something special in mind! However, to make your experience as easy as possible, I provide full access to a curated studio wardrobe for both mothers and babies. It features timeless, high-quality pieces designed to look beautiful in my studio’s natural light. Whether you choose your own favorite outfit or one of mine, I am here to help you look and feel your best.

Absolutely! While the focus is often on your new arrival, I believe capturing the connection between the whole family is just as important. Parents and siblings are always encouraged to participate. These family portraits are often the most cherished images, showing the love and joy of your first days together.

That’s completely normal.
We’ll simply adjust your session date once your baby is here — no stress.
