We believe that each family that we photograph is unique, special and beautiful. We are a boutique photography studio, specializing in classic, high end portraiture, with the end goal of creating beautiful heirloom art that will grace your home for decades to come. All of our products have been curated specifically with our clients in mind. 

We have simplified the whole process of booking and ordering in 2023. We have different options to choose from for our all-inclusive collections. And after your session, you get to choose the photographs we edit and deliver to you! Once they are chosen, editing commences and the actual ordering process is all done online, so you don't have to come back to the studio until product pick up time! We understand having a new baby is time consuming- our goal is to help make the most of our time together.  
Booking as early as possible is always highly encouraged, as we tend to book out months in advance. 

See below our different session options, pricing and what's included in each session. 
We also have our beautiful heirloom quality products offered as additional options to your sessions.

Seasonal family sessions

We always require a $375 retainer and signed contract to secure your session with The Newborn Artist. The remainder of the balance (if any) is due the day of the session, which can be paid via your client portal or in person, but must be paid before the session begins. 

What do we need to do to book you? 

We take on limited clients per month, to make sure each beautiful family is well taken care of, so booking as early as possible is highly encouraged. But don’t be discouraged if you’ve decided last minute to do a session- contact us! Let's chat! We tend to book out 3-6 months in advance. Book early! 


HOW SOON SHOULD WE BOOK YOU?


No, prices shown do not include the 10.3% rate for taxes in Pierce County where our studio is located. We do not give discounts for paying in cash or waive sales tax. Digital products are considered taxable in Washington State, so we must comply to remain a legit and respectable business in our community. 

Is tax included in the price already?

Copyright is sold on a per-digital photo basis at the rate of $3500 per digital image. And thats a pretty costly option (usually reserved for our celebrity clients who wish to keep their photos private). We do not offer raw files as an option for purchase. 


CAN I BUY THE COPYRIGHT OR RAW FILES?


Depending on the session you purchase, times can vary from 1 week to 6 weeks. We DO offer a rush fee of $199, which guarantees a much faster turnaround time. 


HOW QUICKLY WILL I GET MY PHOTOS?


Due to the nature of the products and services, ALL SALES ARE FINAL. 
If there is a defect in your product within 7 days of receiving the physical product, we will replace at no cost. 

Can I return the products if i dont like them?
