Frequently Asked
Q: Why is under 21 days old ideal?
A: In those first three weeks, your newborn is in their deepest sleep and still super flexible, which makes it the perfect time to capture those adorable sleepy shots. During this stage, we can gently pose your baby in those sweet, curled-up positions that remind you of their time in the womb.
Of course, we can still do beautiful newborn sessions with older babies! Just keep in mind, they might be more alert during the shoot and not quite as bendy for certain poses—but we’ll still capture precious moments that reflect their unique little personality.
Q: What if someone is sick?
A: Then, we’ll reschedule! As a mom, I completely understand how sickness can come and go, sometimes more often than we’d like. To ensure the best experience and to keep everyone healthy, we’ll postpone your session until everyone is feeling better and ready to enjoy the day!
Q: Can I bring along a support person?
A: I know that getting out with a newborn, especially when you're still recovering, can feel overwhelming. That’s why I always encourage you to bring along a support person—whether it’s your partner, a family member, or a close friend—to help during the session.
To keep things calm, quiet, and perfect for your baby’s deep sleep, I ask that you limit it to just one support person in addition to mom and dad. Too many people in the studio can make things a bit noisy and crowded with all the equipment, and we want to create the most peaceful and safe environment for your little one.
Q: Do you offer payment plans?
A: I do! A traditional payment is $75 at the time of booking, with the remaining balance due on the day of your session. If you’d prefer a payment plan, I can easily split it up for you, as long as everything is complete by the session date. Just let me know what works best for you, and we’ll make it happen—it’s that simple!
Q: What if my baby won't sleep?
What we really want is a happy, content baby—whether they’re snoozing or wide awake! If your baby stays awake, your gallery will be filled with sweet, curious expressions, bright-eyed wonder, and maybe even a few adorable, cross-eyed moments. I’m pretty sure you’ll love looking back at those bright eyes for years to come!
Q: Do you offer in-home newborn sessions?
For those cozy family and sibling shots, my studio has the perfect setup to create beautiful, relaxed images that feel like home. It’s all designed to capture your family’s warmth and connection in the most natural way.
Q: How do I book you for my session?
A: Just reach out and let me know what type of session you're interested in and your ideal timeframe! We’ll work together to find a date that fits both of our schedules and start planning for your session day! I do require a $75 initial payment to hold your booking date that is applied to the balance of your session total.

Morganne is so incredibly talented and has found a way to make our shy, not wanting to smile for pictures, girl break out of her shell and capture her personality perfectly! You will NOT be disappointed with the decision to book your session with Morganne!

She made this mamas heart be able to relax during the session and captured exactly what I envisioned for our last pregnancy. When I say I was absolutely blown away when we got our photos back is an absolute understatement. My husband was even in awe of her work and commented how amazing our photos were.

In return, the pictures couldn’t have been any better! We are so in love with them and will be using Morganne for all our future pictures! Plus, her studio is so cozy and the perfect atmosphere!! Morganne is truly the BEST!

Morganne has captured my family’s photos during a mini session and a fall session. Both experiences were perfect and she gave 100% to get the perfect pictures! I loved how she talked with my kiddos before the pictures so my littles felt comfortable during the session. Morganne’s photos are always exceptional. I’m always in awe with all her photos and will continue to use her in the future!

Morganne is so talented! This was our third session together and once again she hit it out of the park. She captured the personality of our little one effortless. He was shy at first, and she had him giggling by the end and captured priceless shots. Can’t wait until our next session!

We’ve used Morganne for several sessions and absolutely love every photo we’ve gotten. From the holiday mini sessions to my son’s milestone shoot for his 1st birthday, we’ve used her for all of it. I’ve also recommended her to several friends who have had great experiences as well. Can’t recommend Morganne enough!

Morganne has taken our family photos for the last 2 years and we have been very satisfied with everything from the scheduling process to the end results! We have 3 young children, which can be very tricky when it comes to photography and getting a good shot when everyone is smiling (and has their eyes open!). She had lots of tips and tricks to keep the kids happy and interested, and she worked well overall with everyone in our family. She was super flexible when we had to change our session to a different day when someone came down with an illness as well. The final photos were wonderful and perfect to show each person’s beauty and personality. Definitely recommend Morganne!

Morganne went above and beyond throughout the whole process. She had the most helpful info on her website directing me to anything I would need to know for my session. She even helped me figure out the perfect outfits for my family. Once we got to the beautiful location, she made the experience easy, fun, and left us with the most amazing photos our family will cherish forever. BRB i'm running to order the biggest prints of every pic for my home. I can't thank you enough Morganne! I can't wait for many more sessions!

We've now done 3 family sessions with Morganne and she's wonderful! She always captures sweet moments, and her prices are very reasonable. We love doing her mini sessions and will continue to be customers!
