Expecting a little one? Let our Pensacola newborn photographer capture a sweet and stress-free newborn session!

Taking photos is an investment, both financially and emotionally.

We believe that YOU should be in control of how that investment is spent. All of our experiences are booked by paying a session fee, which includes a specific number of digital images. You will have the opportunity to view your proofs and narrow them down to your absolute favorites.

FAQ
  • Where are you located?

    Our studio is centrally-located on the Gulf Coast, in Pensacola, Florida. Our home range extends from Rosemary Beach, Florida to Mobile, Alabama. We regularly work in Destin, Watercolor, Seaside, Santa Rosa Beach, 30-A, Navarre Beach, Seagrove, Fort Morgan, Pensacola Beach, Perdido Key, Fort Walton, Orange Beach, Gulf Shores, and Fairhope.

  • Can we request a specific photographer?

    If you would like to work with a specific Wave photographer, please let us know when you first inquire. Please be aware that requesting a specific photographer may limit the availability we are able to offer you. Our entire team is trained to approach your session in the same way, so the quality of your images should not vary based upon your photographer assignment.

  • How old should my baby be for a wrapped newborn session?

    If you are wanting traditional, wrapped newborn photos, we recommend scheduling your session when your baby is 7-14 days old. This ensures that they are still sleepy and malleable, but have had the opportunity to recover from birth. Once a baby is older than 14 days, it typically becomes more difficult to settle them into the deep sleep required for a tight wrap.

  • How old should my baby be for a lifestyle newborn session?

    Lifestyle newborn sessions have no specific age requirements, and are perfect if your baby is older than 14 days. Since these sessions focus more on the connection between baby and parents (rather than complex wrapped poses), it is less important for your child to fall deeply asleep.

  • Can family members be involved in newborns?

    Absolutely! For a studio newborn session, we recommend starting the session with family and sibling photos. Once those are completed, your family can leave if they choose, leaving just you, your baby, and a support person (if desired) for the remainder of the session.

  • What time do we typically shoot sessions?

    We recommend starting your newborn session in the morning, generally 9 or 10am. Please plan to allow at least four hours for your session. Though we often complete the session in less time, we want to make sure to allow ample opportunity to feeding and soothing of your little one.

We get it - our studio is unusual because we are truly a team.

Your Pensacola newborn photographer works in our studio and is trained by our Creative Director. But what does that really mean for our clients? Before you sign the contract, you will be paired with a specific photographer so you have the opportunity to develop an amazing working relationship prior to your session day.

FAQ
  • Can we use props and do you have any we can use?

    You sure can! Our studio stocks a variety of simple props, wraps, and blankets. However, if you have a specific vision in mind, please let us know! We would love to work with you to make that vision a reality, and we often incorporate props brought in by our clients.

  • How long does it take to receive our photos?

    You can expect to receive your online gallery within two weeks of your session (though we are often faster). Once you view your images , we will perform any requested retouches and you will receive your final images about a week later (depending on whether you have any editing requests, and how extensive those requests might be). However, if you need a specific photo faster in order to meet a deadline, please let us know in advance and remind us at your session; if we are able to accommodate your request, then we absolutely will!

  • How many photos will I see in my finally gallery?

    Every client and session is unique, and so the number of images varies based on the details of your session. In general, you can expect to receive 30-50 images in your gallery.

  • Will our photos be edited?

    Yes! Your photos will be edited for color and lighting prior to you viewing them, and we will gladly do everything we can to make them “perfect” for you!

  • Can we request additional edits?

    Absolutely. Your images will be edited for light and color, and usually need no additional retouching at all. However, we are glad to perform more extensive retouching on your final selections, upon request. Here are some examples of common retouching requests that are typically easy for us to accommodate: editing blemishes from your skin, removing strangers in the background of your photos, fixing a shirt tag that is sticking out of your collar, or making your arm appear slightly thinner. Once you make your selections, let us know if you have any requests at all, and we will be glad to do our best. Though most retouch requests can be performed relatively easily and at no additional cost, extensive retouching may incur an hourly editing fee (but we will make sure we have your approval prior to beginning any work).

FAQ
  • Do we receive a print release?

    Yes! Once you have received your final images you will also receive a print release. Feel free to take your images and print them wherever you feel most comfortable.

  • Can I order professional quality prints?

    We are partnered with a top-notch professional lab and would love for you to invest in a high quality print - you can even order prints and canvases directly from your final gallery! We recommend professional-quality prints for sizes 11x14 and larger.

  • Can I buy a session as a gift for someone else?

    Absolutely! Contact us and we would be glad to provide a printable gift card that you can wrap or email as you choose. Our gift card amounts are based on our session types (rather than flat dollar amounts), and begin at $125.
