FAQs

Open to any child (6 months+) or pets. A typical range of a baby’s first milestones includes the following: crawling, sitting and standing (or one year birthday session) . Every baby is different and will meet these milestones in their own time, so we will estimate the timing and adjust as needed.

Milestones can also be personal to your family - perhaps celebrating a golden birthday, getting a specific portrait with a special loved one or pet or just because!

Milestone minis are perfect for capturing those first-year milestones (sitting, standing, walking), celebrating your baby before they become a big brother or sister, when they start losing their baby teeth, or when you are going from Preschool to Kindergarten or from tween to teen. Almost every age is and can be a Milestone worth capturing!

I've been a professional photographer since 2009. I'm also the mother to two girls under the age of eight. There is no situation that I haven’t encountered before. My experience with newborns, toddlers and kids means that I can work quickly and efficiently while keeping it fun. I believe that photo sessions should be a joyful time for family bonding, not a chore. And I am confident in my ability to make that happen. I promise!

My photo sessions are designed to be easy. My entire workflow has been designed with you and your busy life in mind.

Galleries will be available for viewing within two weeks of your session date.

Any digital downloads that are part of your Session Fee or Collection will be available through your gallery. Galleries stay live for 30 days.

I describe my style of shooting as a mix between classic and lifestyle - I pose my clients for certain shots and then get those in-between, candid lifestyle type shots when you are interacting with your loved ones. I help you with posing whenever needed (where to stand, placement of hands, angle adjustments for your head/shoulders). I will give you direction whenever needed. For babies, my style is to leave a portion of my session for swaddled shots and any shots where you might want to have your baby in a specific outfit. For baby details (eye lashes, fingers, toes, lips), your baby can wear a diaper (with diaper cover).

My editing style is light and airy with skin softening and saturation adjustment applied as needed.

Most of my style and editing approach is based on full-color portraits. Occasionally, I do throw a black-and-white portrait into the mix when an image calls for it.

All clients sign a portrait agreement and while Lily Red Studio retains the copyright to all images, I do respect a client’s request in certain cases to allow them to keep some/all images private - particularly as this relates to boudoir-style maternity sessions or if privacy is necessary due to a client’s type of employment.
