Frequently Asked Questions

  • Ideally, during pregnancy, so a spot can be held for the first one to two weeks after baby arrives, when babies are typically sleepiest and easiest to pose.

  • Newborn sessions are unhurried and built around baby, so they typically run 2-3 hours, with time for feeding and settling breaks as needed.

  • That's normal, and it's part of why the design consultation happens before session day. Once the details are planned in advance, session day tends to go far more smoothly than families expect.

  • Most Sessions are held at East & Elm portrait studio, and families travel in from Pittsford, Penfield, Brighton, Perinton, Victor, Mendon, Canandaigua, Henrietta, Webster, Irondequoit, Greece, Gates, Chili, Spencerport, and other Rochester, NY suburbs. Please inquire if you are interested in a session outside of Fairport.

  • You'll return to the studio 1 to 2 weeks later for your reveal and design session, where you'll choose favorites and design your artwork together.
