Frequently Asked Questions

I am located in Randolph, Vermont. For indoor sessions, I have a home studio. For outdoor/on location sessions, I travel throughout Central Vermont.

To book a session, just send me a message or an email! We will first discuss the details of your session. I often send a pre-session questionnaire first so that I can get a better idea of your session needs. We will then discuss availability to find future dates that work well for both of us, and select a location for your session. Once we know where and when the session will take place I will send you an invoice and contract electronically.

The non-refundable session fee is due in full at the time of booking in order to secure your spot on our calendar. This is to avoid last minute cancellations and blocking off time that could have been used for another client.

Our pets are truly part of the family! For so many of us, it’s hard to imagine our family without them—they add so much love, laughter, and personality to our lives. Whether you’re welcoming a new baby or have an established family, I always encourage including your furry (or feathered, or scaly!) friends in your photo session.

When families ask for my advice about bringing pets, I always say: it’s completely up to you! You know your pet’s personality best. If you think your pet would be comfortable and happy during photos, I’d love for them to join us. Just like with little ones, I recommend bringing along some treats and favorite toys to help keep your pet engaged and content throughout the session.

Of course, every pet is unique. Sometimes, pets can be a bit more energetic or anxious, especially around new people or in unfamiliar settings. If your pet tends to get overly excited or needs extra time to settle in, it might be worth considering whether they’d enjoy being part of the session, especially since our time together is limited.

If you’re thinking about including your pet in your session, please reach out! I’m always happy to chat, answer any questions, and help you decide what’s best for your family.

In the event of weather, illness, family emergencies, or other acts of God, your session will be rescheduled for a more suitable time or may be used towards a future session with Baby Beluga Photography. Details can be found in the contract signed at the time of booking.

You will receive a private link to an online client proofing gallery that includes all acceptable images taken at your session within 2 weeks after your session takes place. You will then choose your favorite images, send that list to me, and I will begin the retouching process. Final images will be retouched and delivered within 2 weeks of receipt of your favorites list.

If you need your photos sooner for cards, gifts, to display at an event, etc. please contact me at the time of booking your session so that we can ensure that the final images are finished in time!

Absolutely! Your session package comes with a certain number of images, but you are more than welcome to purchase additional images from your gallery for retouching. Additional digital images are $15 each, with bulk discounts available for more than 10 additional images (ask me for pricing).

Yes! All of these items can be purchased directly through your online gallery once your final images have been fully retouched.

While I have photographed weddings in the past, I do not offer this service at this time.
