After clicking around my website and deciding to hire me as their photographer, I often get messages from new or expecting moms asking me how to book their family or newborn photo session.
As a busy Mom and photographer, I wish all the things in life were simple so I try to keep my booking process as easy and simple as possible!
In this post, I will tell you the steps on how to book your photo session and I will share images from my recent newborn session with this beautiful couple and their adorable new son in their very gorgeous home in Moon Township!
Enjoy peeking at a few…ok, a lot of images from my session with Baby B and his parents! This sweet boy was three weeks old when his Mom reached out to book their session and I was happy to fit them on my schedule!
“Hi there! We had our little boy 3 weeks ago and were wondering if you had availability within the next few weeks?”
And the kind words this gorgeous mama sent me after she viewed her online gallery…
“Hi!! Just wanted to let you know we absolutely love the pictures! They are perfect and I’m so happy that I found you!” -C
Please keep in mind this is how I choose to make my booking process and you may find that it is different than how other photographers do it.
The first step to booking me as your photographer is to send me a message!
I have considered making it possible to book with me directly through my website, without contacting me first, but I honestly feel like it is so important to have a quick email or chat with a potential client before officially booking them on my schedule.
I want to do my very best to provide all of the details and make sure we are the perfect match for each other first!
After you send me a message, I will reply within a few hours. You also have the option to book a phone call with me. I honestly think a quick 10-15 minute phone call is the very best way for me to give you all of the info and for you to ask any questions that you might have.
Next, I will send you an email that will include direct links to fill out my short online contract and a link to pay your session fee.
Once I receive both of those, you are officially booked for your photo session! Yep, that’s it! Just a few clicks and you are all booked!
You will then receive another email from me confirming that you are all booked and it will include a timeline of what to expect next. I’ll also include a link to a guide on how to prepare for your session. (however, there is not much at all you need to do to prepare for a photo session with me!) We’ll pick a date or I will pencil you in for a date after your baby is born.
In addition to keeping my booking process as simple as possible, I try to keep the number of emails I send to a minimum because I know no one has the time to sort through dozens of emails!
So that’s it! All you have to do is click the contact links here on my website to send me a message and we will quickly and easily get you all booked and on my schedule! Easy Peasy! I really look forward to hearing from you!
There are so many images that I love from this newborn photo session, that I am saving half of them for another blog post! We included their sweet pup into a lot of the photos so I will save those for another post…
Look how sweet this little one is! I love getting awake photos along with the sleepy ones. It was an honor to meet and photograph this beautiful family in their very lovely home!!
