• Simple Newborn Session $375

  • This session is a more simplified version of my posed newborn session. It will be up to one hour of shooting. I will still send my prep guide prior to your session and ask that you follow it for a sleepy baby. This session should be done within the first three weeks of life. Parent shots are included and siblings may be included for an additional fee. I *may* attempt a few simple posed shots if the baby is good and sleepy and time allows. These sessions are typically scheduled during the week so please be aware of this when booking.

  • I’m so excited you are booking a session with me! Please rest assured I will do all that I can to make your session relaxing, fun and result in images you will love forever. Please understand I am a natural light photographer indoor and outdoor. If extreme weather conditions cause it to be overly dark, (although unlikely) I may opt to reschedule even your indoor studio sessions to ensure the quality of work I am delivering to you is my best.   

    Once you give birth, you will contact me as soon as possible. I will then work with my assistant to get you a date on the calendar in the first three weeks for this simple session. Paying your deposit will ensure your due date on my calendar.

     

    I typically photograph my newborns sans clothing and wrapped in a simple swaddle wrap for these sessions. You may want to bring a change of clothes for yourself in case of an accident. :) If you have any special outfits, hats, bows, etc you would like your baby photographed with, please feel free to bring them along. I also have an assortment of headbands, hats and wraps available in the studio. 

     

    Newborn sessions are typically done on a weekday in the morning. Since most babies are happiest in the mornings, it helps to keep the session running as smoothly as possible. I also suggest in my prep packet (you will receive upon booking with more details) to keep your baby awake prior to your session as well as feeding baby as close to your session time as possible. Most clients feed right before they leave to come to the studio and this tends to work great.

     

    My studio is kept at 85 degrees for newborn sessions in order to keep babies comfortable while they are undressed and being moved/posed. Please be sure to dress comfortably yourself. 

     

    My simple newborn package is all inclusive with digital images and print release. Most sessions include 20+ images. 

     

    You will be sent a prep guide to follow before your session. Although some of the clothing ideas are simply suggestions, it is important you follow the prep for the baby in the hours prior to your session. This will help the session run as smoothly as possible.

    Client agrees to pay photographer a retainer of $75 at the time of booking to secure their appointment date and time. This is a non-refundable retainer that goes toward your session. Payment needs to be made via paypal or venmo within 24 hours or this contract will be void.

     

    This contract between Lauren Soignet Photography and the client stated shall not become effective until it is signed and the initial amount due has been paid.

    The remainder of your session fee is due at the start time of the session. Please provide at least a 48 hour cancellation notice. If you need to reschedule your session, your retainer can be used towards a new session of equal or lesser value offered by the artist within a three month time period. If you are unable to reschedule in offered availability, a cancelation will result in forfeit of retainer.

     

    Balance

    A balance of $300 is due at the start time of your session. The full payment of $375 ($400 with siblings) covers the time and talent of photographer, basic retouching and creative editing of images, as determined by the photographer. Final edited images will be downloaded by client via a private online gallery. Unedited, RAW files will not be available. Your gallery will expire 20 days after your link has been sent to your email. Additional editing is available at additional expense to be determined by photographer. This package does not include a disk or prints.

     

    Inclement Weather/ Lighting

    If inclement weather or other adverse conditions prevent the session from meeting the photographer's artistic standards she may elect to reschedule. 

     

    Failure to Perform

    If the photographer cannot perform due to illness or emergency, the deposit will be refunded to the client if a reschedule is not possible. The photographer will have no further liability to the contract. This limitation on liability also applies in the event that photographic materials are damaged in processing, lost through camera or media malfunction, lost in the mail, or otherwise lost or damaged without fault on the part of the photographer.

    There is no other photography allowed from family and friends during the portrait session unless verbally requested.

    After six (6) months, all images may be purged from photographer’s hard-drive, except as needed for promotional purposes, to be determined by photographer at photographer’s sole discretion. Photographer is not responsible for loss or damage to the digital files due to circumstances beyond photographer’s control. If after those 6 months you happen to need your images again, please ask as photographer may have them. A $45 fee will be applied for expired galleries to be accessed and re uploaded for instant download.
