frequently asked questions

We are happy to answer any additional questions that you may have!  Contact us to schedule a consultation call.

Q: When Should we Book?

We book many months in advance so as soon as you know your due date, we recommend you reserve your spot! The sooner the better. However, if you did forget to book a newborn session and you're quickly approaching birth (or maybe already gave birth), definitely still contact me to see if we can fit you into the schedule. Newborn sessions are typically scheduled within your baby's first 7-10 days of life, but can be photographed up to 10 weeks of age!

Q: Where is your studio located?

We have an 1100 sqft natural light studio located in Aston, PA at Fern and Ivy Studios (2631 Mount Road Aston, PA 19014)

Q: What about nap time?

I am a mother too so I truly know that nap time can make or break a child's behavior/mood. This is something we take into account when scheduling your session!  Most of our sessions take place mid-morning.

Q: Is our Session deposit applied toward our total invesment?

Yes!  Your $300 deposit reserves your shoot date on Samantha's calendar, kicks off our pre planning.  Your session balance (depending on which session options you chose, is due at your session date).

Q: Are we required to purchase physical artwork?

While our goal is to help guide you through the design process and create works of art that you will enjoy in your home, there is no requirement to invest in physical artwork.  Our professionally framed prints, heirloom albums and matted print boxes are available from our a la carte menu.

Q: How Do We Book?

So you've looked through the pricing information and you're ready to book. What's next? Email me at samanthajayphoto@gmail.com to let me know and we'll send over an online quote (contract & invoice) to secure your date!

Q: How Do You Pose Newborns?

Our approach to newborn posing is simple, natural and begins in a clean white backdrop with simple neutral-colored swaddles.  We will typically do a secondary color palette that matches your chosen attire for variety in the gallery.  We take an organic approach to posing so your newborn will look natural and be cohesive with our photography style. For the full family portion, you can expect interactive posing involving parents and siblings of the newborn, as well as a few traditional portraits.

Q: what can i expect for an in home newborn session?

For the individual newborn portrait of the session, in-home sessions are 100% baby-led and the individual newborn portraits for in-home sessions are taken on the master bed and in the crib in a lifestyle/documentary fashion. For the full family and mommy/baby and daddy/baby portions, these portraits are naturally posed on the master bed, rocking chair, and near a window.

Q: Do you offer payment plans?

We completely understand that photography is a big investment.  We do offer payment plans!  Please inquire and let us know your situation and we can work with you to create your payment plan. Product orders will be placed once you are paid in full.
