Every newborn collection includes a print credit — it’s built in, not an upsell. This page walks through what it’s for, roughly what things cost, and how other newborn clients have used theirs.
How it Works
Your $300 session fee reserves your date (and of course there is flexibility on a newborn photo session date–we ballpark it). After your newborn photo gallery is ready, you’ll view a slideshow of your images, and you’ll then have 72 hours to choose a collection. Collections currently range from $550 to $1,150, and every one of them includes a set of digital files, a print credit, and a physical piece.
You don’t have to decide what collection you’ll buy or what products you may like ahead of time. Families wait until they’ve seen the images before figuring out what they want on their walls.

Why I Provide Print Credits
I add a print credit into every collection because it’s easy to mean to print your photos and never quite get around to it. Life gets busy, and the images end up living on your phone instead of your wall — even the ones you love most. I want you to leave with more than files sitting on a hard drive–I want you to have wall art, desk art, an album. Digital files get lost over time — phones die, accounts change, apps disappear. This is my way of making sure something survives that.
A Few Questions Newborn Clients Ask
Can I include more than just the baby in my prints or album?
Yes — parents and siblings are part of the session too, so your wall art and album aren’t limited to solo baby portraits.
Do I have to use my whole credit at once?
Nope, you can split your credit across multiple orders, but you may end up paying more in shipping if you proceed that way.
Can I order more than my credit covers?
Yes — you can always add more directly through your gallery. The credit is a starting point, not a limit.
Can the credit be used to buy a package upgrade?
No. Print credit from a package cannot be used to purchase an upgrade.
Can’t I just get the digital files and pay less?
No — I don’t separate the print credit out of a collection to lower the price. It’s built into every collection, not an optional add-on, because that’s exactly the gap I’m trying to close — most digital-only files never end up anywhere but a computer or phone.
