Newborns

Newborn sessions are held in my natural light studio downtown Kankakee, IL weekday mornings.
Sessions are best reserved before you are 30 weeks. I take a limited number of newborns each month and sometimes spots fill up months in advance. Reserving a spot allows me to leave room in my schedule around your due date giving you priority in my availability. Waiting until closer to your due date or until baby arrives is not ideal. I may not have availability or be able to get you in the best time frame for baby.
I will take last minute bookings as long as I have availability.
To reserve your spot all I need is your due date, package type and the paid booking fee. All newborn sessions require a $100 non-refundable, non-transferrable booking fee to reserve your spot. This does come off the total due. Balance is due when baby arrives.
Most newborn sessions take place when baby is between 7-15 days old. Sessions that are posed and include props take place in this time frame. I do offer packages that can be used for older babies, up to 12 weeks old.
SBP newborn clients also get discounts on a maternity session when booked with a newborn session. Discounts on each milestone session in baby's first year and a discount on a cake smash session
