Your baby is a perfect creation and doesn’t require over-the-top accessories, awkward poses, or props to capture those brand-new, perfect details. Here you’ll discover the soft tones and organic styling that make Darcy’s family-style of newborn portraiture unique.
Family-style newborn images started as a solution to the no-touch, social distancing required of Covid sessions. The artist fell in love all over again with newborn imagery of babes in the arms of their loved ones. It felt authentic and natural and the results are so beautiful.
Please take a moment to check out the artist’s portfolio so you can get an idea of the style of images that will be created for you and so you know what to expect in your own gallery:
- Sessions take place outdoors while warm weather allows, 1-2 hours before sunset.
- Only 1 due date accepted per week; please book early!
- Babies photographed around 3-6 weeks old.
- We recommend that you book while pregnant, ideally during your 2nd trimester.
Investment:
$250 Creative Fee is a retainer that reserves your date, covers your session, the time and talent of the photographer, as well as fine-art editing and retouching of your gallery. Creative Fee does not include any images or products.
Wall art, albums, gift prints, framing, and digital collections are all available.
Prints start at $54. Collections begin at $790.
Families can anticipate an average investment of 1600 – 6500.
Because only a limited number of commissions are accepted, we have a $700 minimum product commitment.
Viewing and Ordering:
About 3-4 weeks after your session, you will be invited to your Viewing & Ordering Session. You will see your gallery of beautifully edited images, as well as all the gorgeous products available to you. Your order will be placed at this session and we will let you know when you can anticipate your products to arrive. Typical turnaround time is about 7-10 business days for prints, longer for specialty items such as albums and frames. Since 2020, this is now being done via Zoom.
Available Products:
Getting real, beautiful images of your loved ones on the wall is something that is important in our own homes and we know it’s important to our clients as well. We have scoured available vendors and discovered products that we’re proud to show in our studio, home, gift to loved ones, and we believe you’ll love them as well. We offer swoon-worthy wall prints, gift prints, albums, canvases, fine-art folios, custom frames, and holiday cards. While digital collections are available, we are artists and our goal is to provide artwork; we can’t wait to show you all the gorgeous products!
We know sharing online is important to you, which is why we gift web-sharing images of the artwork you purchase as gift prints or wall portraits for you to share on social media. There is no charge for these web-sharing images – it’s just a courtesy we provide so your loved ones can see your favorite portraits. Copyrights of our artwork remain with the artist. Our artwork may not be scanned, photographed, screen captured, edited, cropped, manipulated, altered, filtered, sold, or used without our written permission. This is our livelihood; we appreciate your integrity.
