When do I need to join the Membership?
You can join at any time during your baby’s first year. Most families enroll when booking their maternity or newborn session, but you’re welcome to opt in later as long as your baby has not yet turned one.
Do I have to decide on all of my sessions upfront?
No. You can indicate which milestones you’re interested in, but you’re not locked into anything. As each stage approaches, I’ll reach out to check in. You can book the session or skip it.
What sessions can be included?
You may choose from maternity , newborn , sitter , cake smash , first birthday , or even an outdoor family session during your baby’s first year. You can book anywhere from two to four sessions.
How do the discounts work?
Your savings increase as you book more sessions.
That’s up to $500 in total savings when you document multiple milestones.
Is there an upfront fee to join?
No. There are no upfront costs. You simply receive the membership savings as you book additional sessions.
Do all sessions have to take place before my baby turns one?
Most families complete their sessions within the first year, but there is flexibility built in. If you’d prefer to schedule an outdoor family session to celebrate your baby’s first birthday and would rather wait for warm weather or for your little one to be walking confidently, that’s absolutely fine. The goal is to thoughtfully document this season in a way that makes sense for your family’s timeline.
Are special events like Santa sessions included in the Membership?
No. Membership sessions must be booked as a Petite, Classic, or Signature session . Mini sessions and special events, including Santa sessions, are not included in the Membership discounts. However, members do receive priority booking access for these events before they open to the general public.
