What to Expect

1. Let's chat and book you in
Congratulations on your baby! Once you're booked in, we will first discuss the details of your session. This also gives us a chance to get to know each other a little before the shoot. We chat on the phone, or just over email, whichever is more comfortable for you. You can let me know what you'd like from our session together and if you have any questions. We will discuss what colours/ tones of props you'd like, the poses/ shots, little details, etc. I will also go over what you will expect during and after your session with me.
2. The session
(For "Newborn and Family" session) I typically book newborn sessions late morning. I will arrive at your house and bring in my props, equipment, and set up. This takes about 30 minutes, at that time I'd like you to give your newborn a full feed. I will start by photographing your baby with a variety of props and poses. Once we finish up with just the baby poses we will move on to the family portion. Typically I will photograph the newborn for about 1.5- 2 hours, depending on how many breaks we need and the family portion is around 30 mins or so. With set up and take down you can expect me to be there for around 3 hours.
3. Choose your favourites
A few days after the session I will upload an unedited, low-resolution gallery for you to pick your favourite images. Once you have selected the images you'd like, it will take me about 3 weeks to edit them. As soon as I finish them I will send you a link to the new downloadable gallery. You will then have the opportunity to purchase prints, and wall art from my preferred vendor.

"Shelby was so patient with my 4 week old newborn and 2.5 year old. We did a newborn with sibling session and they are such precious photos. She captured so many great pictures and was able to capture my toddlers silly personality in the photos which I love. I highly recommended Shelby!
