Frequently Asked Questions
What types of photo services do you offer?
Memories Of Me Photos offers a complete line of professional, affordable, boutique quality photographic services. We specialize in Newborns, Children, Smash Cake Sessions, and Maternity. All sessions take place in a natural light photography studio in San Clemente, CA, serving all of Orange County for over 15 years.
Newborn Sessions should be scheduled as soon as you know your due date to best accommodate a day and time for your session. It is important to photograph your newborn within the 1st two weeks of life while they are still sleepy and docile. It always makes for a better session if you can keep your baby awake prior to arriving so they are sleepy for the photo shoot. Newborn sessions are for the newborn only, however, if you would like to add siblings, there is an additional fee.
Maternity Photos generally take place within your 7th-8th month to really capture that baby bump. Your spouse is welcome. Maternity sessions generally take about an hour, give or take.
Gift Certificates are available, which make great gifts for Baby Shower, Birthday or any special day!
What should I plan to wear?
Newborn: Feel free to bring what you want to wear. I do provide everything needed for a creative photo session, including, wraps, headbands, hats, and multiple props.
Maternity: Please consider wearing neutral undergarments as I provide a few neutral maternity gowns. Please be mindful of your nails as they may appear in your photos.
How long will my session last?
The average Newborn session varies depending on our little subject. Please allow at least an hour minimum. All children are different and their tolerance levels vary. We work until the best shots are captured.
The average Maternity session lasts about an hour or so.
When can I expect to see my photos?
Turn around time for your copyright proof link is usually 2-3 days.
Any tips for photographing babies and children?
Please try to keep your newborn awake as much as possible before arriving so that they are ready to sleep while here. Children should be clean. No sticky faces or fingers. Bring a special toy or treat or pacifier that is sure to calm your child in the event of a tantrum or get their attention during poses.
