Frequently Asked Questions | Luxury Studio Experience

Where is your photography studio located?

Our professional home studio is conveniently located in the Sacramento. It is a private, climate-controlled space designed specifically for the comfort of expectant mothers and newborn babies.

Do you serve clients from the Bay Area or San Francisco?

Yes! While we are based in Sacramento, we proudly serve families from all over Northern California. Many of our clients travel from San Jose, Walnut Creek, Concord, Fairfield, Vacaville, Vallejo, Stockton, and Lodi. They find the drive worth it for our unique "All-Inclusive" luxury experience and high-end retouching style.

Do you serve Placer and El Dorado Counties?

Absolutely. We frequently welcome clients from Roseville, Rocklin, Folsom, Granite Bay, and El Dorado Hills. We are the premier choice for luxury maternity photography in the Greater Sacramento region.

How far in advance should I book my session?

We recommend booking at least 3-4 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date. Our calendar fills up quickly, especially for weekend slots.

When is the best time for a maternity photoshoot?

The ideal time is between 27 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. During this window, your baby bump is beautifully round, but you are still comfortable enough to pose. If you are expecting twins, we recommend booking earlier, around 26-30 weeks.

Do I need to bring my own dresses?

No! One of the biggest benefits of booking with Oh Baby Photography is full access to our exclusive Client Closet. We provide a wide selection of luxury designer gowns, silk fabrics, bodysuits, and accessories. We have something for every style and size.

Can my husband and children participate in the photos?

Yes, we love capturing the family bond! Comfort & Premium Packages include the expectant mother plus immediate family (partner and children). Light Package is designed exclusively for the expectant mother only.

Can I bring my pet to the photoshoot?

We are a pet-friendly studio! We understand that pets are family too. If you'd like to bring your dog or cat, please discuss this with us in advance. For safety, please bring a carrier or leash.

When should I book my newborn session?

It is best to book while you are still pregnant (based on your due date). We will adjust the actual date once your baby arrives.

Is your studio safe for newborns?

Safety is our #1 priority. We are trained in safe newborn posing techniques and composite imagery. The studio is sanitized before every session and kept warm to ensure your baby is comfortable and sleepy during the shoot.

What kind of retouching is included in the package?

We pride ourselves on High-End Fine Art Retouching. Included: Professional color correction, skin smoothing, blemish removal, and our signature artistic color grading.

Can I request advanced editing (like body shaping)?

Yes. If you have specific requests like body reshaping, background changes, or complex object removal, we can review them.

How long does it take to receive my photos?

Proof Gallery: You will receive the unedited gallery to select your favorites within 3 days of your session. Final Gallery: Once you make your selection, please allow up to 3 weeks for the final high-end retouching.

Can I buy the unedited (RAW) photos?

The package includes fully edited, high-resolution images. However, you can purchase the Entire Collection of Unedited Photos (with basic color correction) for a flat fee of $200.

What are Digital Backdrops?

Do you require a deposit?

Yes, a non-refundable advance payment is required to reserve your date on our calendar.

What happens if I am late to my appointment?

Please arrive on time. Your dressing and styling time is included in your session duration. If you are late, the session will not be extended, which may result in fewer photos or fewer outfit changes.

What is your cancellation policy?

The booking fee is non-refundable. If you need to reschedule due to a medical emergency, please contact us as soon as possible.

Can I purchase additional images later?

Yes! If you love more photos than your package includes, you can purchase additional fully retouched images for $20 each.
