"Julie was the most professional & caring person I have ever done business with..'

"She took so much time to get our newborn in the right pose!"
"We had a great experience with Julie, The Newborn Artist! She also has a great variety of textures/colors in swaddles, headbands, wraps and backdrops. It was great to just be able to show up and not have to think about "props" or other things. Highly recommend Julie to anyone"

We always require a $800 retainer and signed contract to secure your session with The Newborn Artist. Payment plans are available for the retainer, but must be paid in full before the session date. Your retainer will be applied to your session fee and your purchase of products during your ordering session.
We have a $500 minimum purchase requirement for all sessions unless stated otherwise in the contract.
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!
No, prices shown do not include the 10.4% rate for taxes in Tacoma,WA where our studio is located. We do not give discounts for paying in cash or waive sales tax. Digital products are also considered taxable in Washington State, so we must comply to remain a legit and respectable business in our community.
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 clients who wish to keep their photos private).
We do not offer raw files as an option for purchase.
We have a 3 step process when it comes to your photos getting into your hands. First step will be to choose your photographs you'd like us to edit. We then send those to our editor for professional editing and retouching.

Digital files that are ordered will arrive via digital download, sent to your email within 24 business hours of your order.
