There are seasons of life that arrive softly and disappear far too quickly: the slow, glowing anticipation of pregnancy, the first newborn breaths against your skin, the way tiny fingers curl around yours as if you’re their whole world. These aren’t just milestones. They’re the beginnings of everything.
01
Before anything else, reach out through the inquiry form below. We’ll talk about your family, your vision, and the moments you never want to forget. We can set up a call or online questionnaire. This is where I begin to understand what matters most to you.
02
After the consultation, we send a detailed quote with transparent pricing and no hidden fees. The contract clearly outlines everything—timelines, deliverables, and policies—giving parents a peace of mind. A 20% deposit secures the date, with the remainder due 48 hours before the session day.
03
Leading up to the day, I'll send over confirmation details to ensure nothing gets lost and answer any last minute questions. On the day, I will guide you and make sure you feel amazing in front of the camera. I'll typically cary a few water bottles and snacks to ensure a comfortable experience.
04
Each image is retouched and hand-edited; resulting in a timeless gallery that feels honest, heartfelt, and beautifully you. You'll receive a timeline and at delivery, you’ll view your images in a private online gallery and be able to download your favorite your digital files.
05
Edited files are backed up for two years. For families interested in prints or albums, we partner with printing labs to offer guidance and design support to turn memories into tangible keepsakes.
06
You may select from prints, albums, or wall art or curate a meaningful combination of them all. Every piece is thoughtfully chosen to reflect your style and to preserve your story with intention.
Every session is carefully planned with a heart-centered process. By the time your images are in your hands, you won’t just have photographs, you’ll have pieces of your story.

Silvia has done several photo sessions for myself and my family now. She is so thorough, thoughtful and professional. She has had clear and great communication about everything, which makes it such a wonderful experience with her every time. And her photos are just beautiful. If you haven’t seen her work yet, then scroll through and see for yourself how beautiful her photography is. Thank you so much, Silvia, for capturing special moments in mine and my family’s lives and for making every time with you so enjoyable and easy!

When should I reserve my session?
You’re welcome to book at any time, but I recommend scheduling maternity sessions between 32–36 weeks and newborn sessions within 7–14 days after birth. Fresh 48 sessions are the exception and follow your hospital timeline. To secure your preferred dates, reserve your session as soon as you know your due date.
How long will it take to receive our photos, and how are they delivered?
Your gallery will be ready within 2–3 weeks. You’ll receive a custom timeline, and all images are delivered as proofs through an online gallery where you can select your favorites.
Can siblings or partners be included in the photos?
Absolutely — I strongly encourage it. Your immediate family is always welcome to be part of your session.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. You can begin a payment plan as soon as you book so everything is taken care of before your session. Any additional purchases afterward are invoiced separately.
How long do sessions typically last?
I block out wide timeframes to accommodate breaks, breathers, feedings, changes, etc. We can always get our sessions done sooner but my general rule of thumb is: Maternity sessions are 1.5 hours and Newborn sessions are 2–3 hours.
Where will the session take place?
I offer a curated list of preferred locations, including local studios in Phoenix and Mesa and beautiful outdoor settings from Gilbert to Flagstaff. I love to travel and collaborate, and in-home lifestyle sessions are always an option if you want something intimate and personal.
What should we wear for the photos?
Dress in what feels authentically you: comfort and honesty photograph beautifully. I usually recommend neutrals with simple accent pieces. You’ll also receive a full style guide in your welcome packet.
Do you provide props, or should we bring our own?
Props are often available for studio sessions, and I’ll share details once we select your location. You’re also welcome to bring meaningful items from home, they make your images even more personal and special.
We’ve answered the most common questions to help you feel confident in choosing us. Have more? We’re an open book — just ask!
