What types of sessions do you offer?
I specialize in Newborn Photography, as well as Maternity, Baby and Children, Cake Smash and Family session. We also have a Watch Me Grow plan.
When should I book my session?
You should book as soon as possible, to ensure the dates you are looking for. Maternity photos are best taken in the 32-36 week range, and newborn photos are best taken in the first two weeks of life; so booking once you discover you are pregnant is usually best!
Where will the session be held?
I am an on location, natural light photographer which means that I come to you! We can do them in a well lit room in your house or pick a park or garden close to home to capture your special photos!
How should I prepare ahead of time for the session?
For family sessions, its best to coordinate outfits ahead of time (you can go to my family gallery for some ideas! Or just reach out to me and I can help with hat as we!). The day of the session, everyone should be freshly cleaned and children should be napped and fed before the session to ensure everyone is in the best mood!
For newborn sessions, you will receive a newborn prep packet with instructions for what to do before the session.
How long will the session last?
Typically an hour to an hour and a half is the length of a baby, child or family session. I have found that children’s attention spans don’t really last past an hour, but I schedule your family up to an hour and half.
Newborn sessions tend to last a bit longer, they can be anywhere from two hour to four hours (I have had sessions last four plus hours before!). We like the newborn photos to be sleepy and allow time for feedings and soothing, and every baby is different! So each newborn decides how long his/her session will last J
What should I expect at the newborn session?
You will receive a newborn prep packet once you book with me that goes into more detail as to what to expect, but here are a few basics for you! I will come to your home with all of my props, backdrops, etc. (it is A LOT of stuff, just to warn youJ!) and set up in whichever room has the most light. While I am setting up, you will be feeding your little one and then we will be ready to start the session!
What should I do if my child is sick?
We will reschedule if your child is sick; I understand that being sick is a fact of life and we want you and your family to enjoy the session! We will reschedule for a later time.
What do we do if it rains?
If our session is scheduled for outside, we will reschedule for inclement weather (as well as extremely low temperatures).
Do you offer first year packages?
Yes! These are really my favorite (and new!) packages, as there is so much change in that first year, and I love capturing the different stages! Many people choose to do newborn, 6-9 months (once baby is sitting up!) and a first year session (including cake smash!). Please inquire for more information.
Do you offer gift certificates?
Yes!! That is a great item to put on your registry! They are sold in increments of $25.
When will I see my images?
Sneak Peek will be available on Amandamantheyphotography.com and The AMP Facebook page within 2 days of the session. Your personal online viewing gallery of all edited images will be available within 2-3 weeks!
Can family members purchase prints?
Of course! You can send them the same link I send you and it is easy to order off of the site!
Are you available for weddings?
I think specializing in a certain photography genre is really key to providing the best for my clients. I focus all of my training and continuing education to excelling in the specialty of newborn, maternity and children. While it is flattering to be considered for weddings, I do not offer wedding packages at this time.
