Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about booking, preparing for, and enjoying your photography session with us.

Booking & Scheduling

How far in advance should I book?

For newborn sessions, book during your second or third trimester. For milestone and cake smash sessions, 4–6 weeks in advance is ideal. For maternity sessions, book in your second trimester and we’ll schedule for weeks 28–36. Popular dates fill up fast, so earlier is always better.

What happens if my baby comes early or late?

No stress at all. We build flexibility into every newborn booking. Just let us know when baby arrives and we’ll schedule the session within the ideal window — typically 5 to 14 days after birth.

How do I book a session?

Simply fill out the form on our contact page, call or text us at (409) 354-3075, or email adrianaisabelphoto@gmail.com. We’ll get back to you within 24 hours to discuss your session and secure your date.

Is a deposit required?

Yes, a deposit is required to reserve your session date. This ensures your spot on the calendar and goes toward your session total. Details are provided when you book.

Sessions & What to Expect

How long does each session type take?

Newborn sessions: 2–3 hours. Baby milestone sessions: 1–2 hours. Maternity sessions: 1–1.5 hours. Cake smash sessions: 1–1.5 hours. All times are flexible — we never rush and your baby always sets the pace.

What should I bring to the session?

For newborn sessions: just your baby, feeding supplies, and extra diapers. For baby sessions: your baby and any special outfits or toys. We provide all props, wraps, outfits, and accessories. A full preparation guide is sent after booking.

Can parents and siblings be in the photos?

Absolutely! Family and sibling portraits are welcome and encouraged during any session type. We’ll guide everyone through natural, relaxed poses.

What if my baby is fussy or won’t cooperate?

Completely normal and expected! With 15+ years of experience, we know how to work with babies at every mood. We take breaks, use play and interaction, and capture genuine moments between the “planned” shots. Some of the best images happen during unplanned moments.

Safety

Is newborn photography safe?

Safety is the foundation of every newborn session. Adrisabel has 15+ years of experience and is trained in safe posing techniques. Every pose is fully supported, every prop is sanitized, the studio is kept warm, and a parent is always within arm’s reach. No shot is ever more important than your baby’s safety.

Is the studio clean and sanitized?

Yes. All props, wraps, blankets, and surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between every session. The studio is maintained to the highest hygiene standards at all times.

Photos & Delivery

How long until I receive my photos?

Your private online gallery is typically delivered within 2–3 weeks after your session. Every image is individually hand-edited for beautiful, consistent results.

How many photos will I receive?

The number varies by session type and length. You’ll receive a curated gallery of the best images from your session — every one professionally edited. Exact numbers are discussed during the booking process.

Do you offer prints and albums?

Yes! We offer museum-quality prints, canvases, and custom heirloom albums. These are available as add-ons to any session package. Details are provided with your gallery delivery.
