Newborn photography

How do I get ready for a newborn photography session?

Please book your photography session BEFORE your little ones arrives. We will schedule your session within the first few weeks after the baby comes. They grow and change so fast! Jana wants to capture them exactly how they are when they are brand new. 

$200 deposit required to confirm the booking. Balance due at the session.
All sessions and products are subject to GST tax

Don’t worry about the changes to your delivery schedule. We are totally aware of that.
We require a $200 deposit to secure your spot according to the estimated due date. Once we confirm, we guaranty to accommodate you in the golden time of newborn photography, regardless of any changes in your delivery schedule.
We expect you to update us with the baby’s weight and the date of birth as soon as you saw the baby’s beautiful face.

The professional studio flashlight setup, never can harm them while they are sleeping. However, even with open eyes, we use a reflective lighting system professionally set for baby, that wouldn’t cause any problem. Many parents love to have picture of their babies with open eyes when they are wide awake showing us their most adorable facial expressions.

Studio and natural light

In Jana photography studio, we also have a natural light studio. It means if your baby doesn’t like to go back to sleep, we can definitely use the beauty of natural light.  Read studio flashlight photography blog for more information.

Most newborn images are done without clothing, and we have a ton of props and blankets to use, so you don’t have to worry about purchasing anything! The baby wraps and props are included in all the packages free of charge.

After each session, we go through the photos and narrow down the gallery to the best pictures. You just need to wait about 1 week for your gallery to get ready for viewing. Your online viewing gallery you get a chance to see all the digital proofs/raw images.
In most cases, the gallery comes with more than 50 images. That’s where you make your favourite selection and choose the ones you like the best as part of your package. We don’t give away raw images for free. You can buy the raw images or add more pictures a la carte and have them professionally edited.

Wait time

Once we receive the favourite selection the order goes on the editing lineup and waits for its turn for the professional retouching. The total turnaround is about 4-6 weeks depending on how busy the line is. The faster you submit your selection, the sooner the project goes on the line.

If the package includes prints, we recommend our clients first choose the photos, then get the edited versions and order the prints out of the high-resolution edited versions which come in color and black & white versions.

You will get the exact same number of pictures as purchased in the package you book. If you like more photos you have the option to purchase extra images a la carte. We don’t give away raw images for free and they are all copyright protected. Since we share a nice variety of pictures in your online gallery, people always end up adding more pictures as we always go over the client’s expectation. We like this process to be hard for our clients on a positive way. Always feels good to have more options.

Additional images

The additional images (digital copy) are each $40 + GST and they get professionally retouched provided in both color and Black&White version in high resolution. Jana Photography also have package discounts for adding 5 or 10 extra images.

Once you book and secure your spot, we send you a confirmation email. The email includes information about getting ready, clothing, necessary items to bring, and details for the address and parking.
