the process
Do you want to capture several ages of your baby during the first year?
Enrolling in the Baby Plan gives you the opportunity to come back for 3 additional photo sessions after your newborn session. These sessions typically occur at 4 months, 8 months, and 12 months.
We will capture smiles during the 4 month session, sitting during the 8 month session, and standing during the 12 month session! It’s so rewarding to see and document all of the changes that happen in the first year!
Baby Plan Session Fee: $300 (Savings of $150)

Session Fee
Investment
A session fee of $150 is due at the time of booking along with a signed contract and optional model release.
Digital images, prints, and products are not included in the session fee and are available for purchase during your ordering session.
WHY SHOULD I ORDER PHOTO PRODUCTS THROUGH YOU VS. THROUGH A CONSUMER LAB?
I offer a variety of products from professional photo labs who sell exclusively to professional photographers. These photo products have been created using archival materials that are designed to last for generations. Since they can stand the test of time, that means your baby can share baby photos with his or her grandchildren someday!
Professional photo labs can also match the editing of my images exactly, resulting in a consistent and high-quality representation of your images.
DO YOU OFFER DIGITAL IMAGES?
Yes, I offer both digital images and professionally printed photo products. Any image purchased in photo product form automatically includes the matching digital image for online sharing.
WHAT PHOTO PRODUCTS DO YOU OFFER?
Products include photo albums, photo books, canvases, framed prints, wood prints, gift prints, birth announcements, and holiday cards.
WHEN SHOULD NEWBORN PHOTO SESSIONS BE SCHEDULED?
If you are looking for posed newborn photos, it's best to take the photos in the first two weeks after the baby is born. Contact me with your due date a couple months in advance to get an approximate date on my calendar.
IS STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY AVAILABLE?
Yes, photo sessions are available at my in-home photography studio in Middletown, Maryland. Other location options include your home or an outdoor location such as a farm or park. A permit fee may be required for some outdoor locations.
DO YOU HAVE A REFERRAL PROGRAM?
Yes! If someone you refer to Erin Swann Photography books a full photo session, you will receive a $50 studio credit! Studio credit can be used toward photo products, digital files, and photo session fees (does not apply to past payments). The studio credits are cumulative and never expire! I appreciate all referrals you send my way!
DO YOU OFFER A CAMERA CLASS FOR PARENTS?
Yes! I offer group and private one-on-one DSLR classes for parents to help you learn which settings are best to use when photographing your kids. Take your photo skills to the next level to capture amazing photos of your child! Email me for more information! erin@erinswannphotography.com
