When to schedule ?
It's only a few days and your baby will change completely. It's an amazing time to create some memories.
We usually recommend taking pictures of newborns up to two weeks, when the baby has enough flexibility for the most beautiful poses. In addition, the baby sleeps more hours in a row, however, we can accommodate babies up to 4 weeks old, with some pose limitations.
We strongly recommend booking your newborn session during pregnancy to guarantee a space on Paloma's agenda.

NEWBORN SESSION
UP TO 4 WEEKS
A 50% reservation fee is due at booking. The remaining balance is due after you select your favorites from your proof gallery.
After your session, you will receive a proof gallery with unedited and watermarked images to select your favorites. Additional images can always be purchased separately.
Each image bought is edited individually, and the processing can take 40 to 50 minutes per image. The final photos you receive are meticulously retouched, including lighting and tone adjustments, skin treatment, and body contouring. This ensures that each image becomes a true work of art that you will be proud to display.
Props, bonnets, headbands, wraps, and blankets are all included in all sessions.

When is the best time to take maternity photos?The ideal period for a maternity session is between 28 and 34 weeks, when the belly is well evident, but the mother still feels comfortable.
-
What kind of clothes should I wear for the maternity session?I recommend wearing clothes that highlight the belly, such as fitted dresses, tops, and pants. After booking, I will send a detailed guide to help you choose clothes that ensure a harmonious and cohesive look for the session. My style is modern, natural, and minimalist, focused on the mother-to-be. Most likely, all the clothes I recommend you will already have in your wardrobe, avoiding the need to invest in pieces you will never use again.

Can I include my partner and children in the maternity photos?Yes, you have two options.

My child is more than 2 weeks old. Can I still have a newborn session?Yes, it is possible to photograph babies up to 40 days old. However, some more complex poses may not be feasible.

If there are any restrictions, we will perform simpler poses, ensuring that the session is as beautiful and enchanting as those done with younger babies.

PROFESSIONAL PRINTS
YOUR MEMORIES WITH QUALITY AND ELEGANCE
Technology has brought us many conveniences, but we've lost the habit of having photos scattered around the house or in family albums.
Technology evolves and, unfortunately, technology can become obsolete or fail outright. Printed photography remains a tangible incarnation of your memories.
That's why printed products are so precious. When we invest time and treasure in a photoshoot and keep it only in a digital format, it's like buying a gorgeous painting that is never put on display.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for considering us to be a part of your special moment!
