How It Works
INQUIRE
Since babies come in their own due time we’ll book a placeholder session using your estimated due date and connect after baby is born to finalize the actual day and time of your session.
Plan
In the weeks leading up to your session, I’ll send my client-only style guide and location menu to help you plan your session. Or add a pre-session consultation to your session and I’ll guide you every step of the way. I encourage you to plan all the details before it get too close to your due date so it’s one less thing you have to stress about.
