the experience

STEP 1: Choose your session & Book


Begin by selecting the session you’re interested in and following the booking link provided. You’ll be able to review all available collection options and complete a brief questionnaire, which gives me all the details I need to thoughtfully plan your photoshoot.

From there, you can easily reserve your session date and time in just a few simple steps.


STEP 2: Connect & Plan your session


Once your booking is confirmed, I’ll personally reach out so we can begin planning your session together. We’ll discuss color schemes, setups, and the poses you’d love for your photoshoot, as well as any inspiration images you’d like me to recreate.

My studio offers a thoughtfully curated collection of props, outfits, wraps, bows, bonnets, and accessories, allowing us to customize your session in a way that feels cohesive, timeless, and uniquely yours.

STEP 4: Session Day

Sessions are calm, unhurried, and completely baby-led. I allow plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and cuddles, creating a peaceful environment where your baby’s comfort always comes first.


 

STEP 5: Gallery Selection


Within 2–3 business days after our session, you’ll receive a proof gallery with all the images we captured together. You’ll have 24 hours to select your favorite images for your final gallery.

During this time, you’ll have the option to purchase additional images for $20 each, or upgrade your collection directly from the gallery if you’d like more images included.

 

STEP 6: Final Gallery Delivery


Your final, fully edited images will be delivered within 1–2 weeks after you’ve selected your images. During peak or holiday seasons, please allow up to 3 weeks for delivery.

Each gallery is carefully edited with attention to detail to ensure your images are timeless, cohesive, and beautifully finished.

I found Catalina on IG. Her expertise is newborn photos, but also noticed she does beauty sessions as well. I reached out to get a session to take bridal boudoir for my soon to be husband. Her booking process was super quick and fast. She sets up her studio and plays good music while doing the shoot. She is very friendly and helpful to get the best shots. The quality of the photos is amazing.
