GENERAL
All sessions are conveniently all-inclusive. You receive all items listed on the package in one simple fee. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to book your session and is applied toward your session fee. The remaining balance is due by the session date. Please note that some packages are subject to CA state and local sales tax.
After the session date I require a 2 week turn around until photos are retouched and available for pickup or digital download (depending on your package).
Claudia Whisenhunt Photography services the Sacramento area and beyond. This includes Roseville, Folsom, Elk Grove, Davis, and other nearby towns.
NEWBORN INFORMATIONQ. When should I book my newborn photo session?
A. I recommend booking your newborn session 2 months in advance of your due date. I will put your due date on my calendar, and once your baby is born we will set an exact date and time for the session to take place. If baby arrives earlier or later than the anticipated due date, there is room to accommodate.

Q. I didn't schedule a session, and my baby is already here. Can I still do a newborn session?
A. Occasionally, I have last minute availability. Go ahead and reach out.
Q. How long does the session last?A. Occasionally, I have last minute availability. Go ahead and reach out.
A. Newborn sessions are usually longer due to feeding, diaper changes, snuggles, and soothing baby. My priority is to keep baby comfortable so we follow baby's lead.
Q. Until what age can you do a newborn shoot?
A. The best time to do a newborn photography session is when your baby is 5-14 days old. Babies younger than 2 weeks fall into a deep sleep where they will be posable for the duration of the session. We can still take pictures up until 4 weeks, but baby will be more alert and may not want to do all the poses.

Q. Do I need to bring anything to the session?
A. I provide all outfits and props for your session. All you have to do is show up! I individually style each session after consulting with you about colors. If you have something special that you'd like to include in the session, please let me know ahead of time so that I can prepare for it. I will do my best to include it within your session.
