The CDP Process

STEP ONE: LET'S BE FRIENDS

We do not believe that family and lifestyle newborn photography is one size fits all. We know that every family is unique! We serve families that are joyful and love genuine moments captured with their family and mamas who want lovely images of their newest addition in the comfort of their lovely home. We know that you need more than just pretty pictures- you need an incredible experience! The first step towards working together is determining if we are a good fit.

STEP TWO: SAVE YOUR DATE

YAY!!! You're a CDP Family!! Once a date is settled upon, we will send your agreement over and get your down payment to secure your date! Everything is official!! It's time to get really excited!!

STEP THREE: YOUR SESSION

Let the fun begin!! It's time for your session. Don't worry- we'll teach you everything! Don't stress about your little ones not cooperating, it's completely normal! After your session, you'll be featured on the CDP Blog and will also will be sent your online gallery of images to be downloaded and shared however you so desire! We also have an online store where you may place print orders.
