The JW Brown Photography Studio
Located in Ridgefield, CT.
Welcome to my newborn photography studio, which provides a comfortable and welcoming experience for parents, kids, and babies.
The studio is fully stocked with props, cake stands, blankets, and outfits for your little one!
After years of working out of my home, the time was right in 2023 to open up a professional space in the heart of Ridgefield, CT. I designed this studio with your convenience in mind. You'll find cozy couches, snacks, toys for siblings, and a changing table, so you can relax while we capture these precious moments.
Note: For the newborn session part of the package, parents can choose between an in-home session or studio session. The milestone and cake smash sessions take place in the studio.
Plentiful on-site parking and a private bathroom are available for all clients.
Scheduling and when to book
I typically book out anywhere between 2-4 months in advance, but can occasionally fit in last-minute requests.
It is highly recommended that clients book this package before the baby arrives, as this guarantees a spot on my calendar. Based on the due date, we pencil in a prospective newborn session date. Once baby arrives, I ask cleints to contact me within the first 48 hours so we can either confirm the original date or find a new one that suits us both.
For the subsequent sessions, I’ll reach out to parents approximately 6-weeks in advance of their baby’s next photoshoot.
Payment
A $300 deposit is required to book the package, and then the payment schedule goes as follows:
$975 due at Newborn Session
$700 due at Milestone Session
$825 due at Cake Smash Session
CT sales tax of 6.35% will be applied to all sessions.
Gallery Details
A proof gallery of 75-100 images will be sent to clients after each session. They’ll be able view the gallery and then select their favorite images for fine-tune editing.
