When should I schedule my newborn session?

It’s never too early to book your newborn session to ensure a spot with Holly as she only schedules a limited number of sessions each month to allow plenty of time and attention for each client. When a session is booked, she’ll reserve an approximate time frame on her calendar that will be reserved for you with the actual date being selected once you deliver.

When is the best time to photograph my newborn?

Newborn babies are ideal to photograph between 5 & 10 days old, when they are still very flexible and womb-like and spend most of their time sleeping. If for some reason your baby is unable to be photographed during this time frame, don’t worry, with the exception of possibly a few poses, we will still be able to capture many beautiful and special images of your baby.

What can I expect from my newborn session?

A typical session is approximately 4 hours long. It is a rest and relax time for Mom as Holly works her magic, soothing, posing and photographing, … handing off only as needed to Mom & Dad for feeding and changing. Feel free to bring a book, catch up on emails, texts or Facebook, take a nap or simply sit back and enjoy watching the session!

Do you provide any props for the session?

An extensive collection of fine quality outfits and accessories are available for newborn sessions, including, quality hand made hats, bonnets, & headbands, organic natural fiber knits and textures … and an assortment of baskets, bowls and other adorable props are used as your session is personally stylized just for you.

Where are you located?

All sessions take place in Holly’s home studio, located just minutes from the historic Los Rios district in San Juan Capistrano and is graced with beautiful natural light, ideal for photographing your newborn.
