What's better than fall? A baby in a pumpkin of course! If you've always wanted to do the viral 'baby in a pumpkin' photo with your little one, then this is the mini session for you.
Come join me on this beautiful private property in Medford, NJ that backs up onto a cornfield and has a rustic white barn as our backdrop. We'll capture the cutest family photos with all the fall vibes including your cute baby in a pumpkin. I'll have it all setup and ready so you just have to show up in your coziest fall outfits ready to snuggle and play!
This session is perfect if you're looking to capture your little one's halfway milestone (6 months), or celebrate the season they are in. Siblings are welcome and will be photographed in the set sitting beside baby.
Please note: The carved pumpkin is only suitable and intended for babies 4-12 months sitting independently or propped up with little to no assistance.

FAQ
What if my baby won't sit in the pumpkin?
A.It happens, and it's completely okay! The pumpkin is one part of our 15 minutes, not the whole thing. If your little one isn't feeling it, we'll pivot to snuggles with you, or being held near the setup. Those often end up being the favorites. I'll never push a baby who's upset.
Because your time is reserved just for you, session fees aren't refundable if your little one isn't up for the pumpkin, but you'll still go home with a gallery full of images I know you'll love.
Can we include grandparents/extended family members?
A.Sessions include up to six family members only. Extended family sessions are welcome for an additional fee ($75). If your group includes more than six people, please reach out before booking so we can discuss details.
What if it rains or the weather isn’t ideal?
A.Sessions will only be canceled if it is actively raining during your scheduled session time. If conditions are cloudy or overcast, sessions will continue as planned. If a reschedule is necessary I’ll be in touch with next steps and communicate as early as possible.
What should we wear?
A.After booking, you’ll receive a styling guide with outfit suggestions and color palettes that photograph beautifully at our location. Light neutrals, or warm pops of color balanced with neutrals tend to work best.
What if we're running late?
A.Because these are back-to-back with limited time, I can't run over into the next family's time. If you're running a few minutes behind, come anyway and we'll make the most of the time we have. Arrivals more than 10 minutes late will unfortunately forfeit the session and retainer, so please plan for traffic and parking.
When will we receive our photos?
A.Galleries are delivered within two to three weeks via a private, password-protected online gallery to your email. You’ll receive an edited gallery of your best images, from which you can pick your favorite 15 images.
You also have the option to upgrade to your full gallery for $150 (plus sales tax).
