What is the best age to photograph my baby?

Brenda Simon has experience photographing babies and children of all ages and is happy to photograph your baby at any age.

She photographs babies from just days old because these precious first weeks go by so fast. There are a lot fun things we can do with your newborn to really capture their small size; things we won't be able to do when they get older. When your baby is 4 months, we'll be able to capture more expressions. At this age, babies are likely to lie on their belly and push their head up. Smiles are pretty likely at this age too! Around 6 months, your baby will sit up and be pretty animated. This is a fun time to really capture the many facets of their unique personality. The best scenario is to photograph your baby before they get too mobile.

How do I order photo enlargements?

Included with your keepsake album, you will find a mini proof sheet displaying all of the images in your album as well as a price card with your order deadline date (to receive your discount). You will simply relay your selections using roll and frame numbers off your mini proof sheet. All enlargements are a la carte, meaning you select what you want with no set pre-packaging. Additionally, there is no sales pressure.

How long will it take to get our album and enlargements?

Your keepsake album will arrive at your home via FedEx within 3 weeks.

Enlargements are generally ready within 2 weeks of placing your photography order. Please allow more time for Giclee prints, framing or reprints.

What if I need a quantity of prints for baby announcements or family holiday cards?

A discount is offered for 4x6 or 3x5 reprints in quantities of 50 or more.

Can you photograph my older child and baby together?

Yes! If your older child is unable to hold the baby, there are still ways we can photograph them together. Waiting until your baby is sitting up (around 6 months) is also an option.

Can you photograph my family outdoors?

Brenda specializes in indoor studio photography. You won't have to worry with weather or other obstacles that accompany outdoor photography. Your finished images will be a beautiful representation of you and your baby at this special time in your lives.
