Frequently Asked Questions

Just reach out to us through the site or email us directly at hello@littleridge.co. We’ll get a date on the calendar and go from there. A $100 deposit is required to hold your session date and is applied toward your total session cost.

Your remaining balance is due on the day of your session. Payment is handled through our client portal and we accept all major credit cards.

We ask for at least 48 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations made outside of 48 hours will receive a full refund of your deposit. Cancellations made inside 48 hours forfeit the deposit. If we ever have to cancel on you for any reason your deposit is refunded in full, no question.

Newborn sessions can take up to three weeks depending on the level of retouching involved. For all other sessions, you can expect your gallery within about two weeks.

Family, maternity, and first birthday cake smash sessions are two hours. Newborn sessions are a little more relaxed and typically run around three hours since we let the baby set the pace.

It honestly depends on the session and how everything flows on the day. A smooth, everyone's-having-a-blast session can yield 75 images or more. A tougher day with reluctant smilers might land closer to 25 to 40. Newborn galleries tend to run larger, anywhere from 75 to 100 images. We always aim to deliver every shot that tells your story well.

Yes! If you book more than one session with us you save $100 off each one. A maternity and newborn bundle is a popular choice but the discount applies to any combination of sessions.

We do! For newborn sessions we offer a mobile studio setup where we come to you. There is a $300 fee for the mobile studio service. We bring all of our own lighting and equipment and all we ask is that you have a cleared space of at least 8x8 feet for us to work in, though 10x10 is ideal. All other session types are typically shot outdoors at a park or location of your choosing.

Absolutely. We're happy to suggest locations we love if you're not sure where to start, but if you have a spot that's meaningful to your family we're always down to make it work.

We get it, life is chaotic especially with little ones. Just shoot us a text if you're running behind so we know you're on your way. Keep in mind your session time begins at your scheduled start time so a late arrival will shorten the time we have together. If we have availability to extend your session we're happy to do that, though additional time is billed at our standard session rate.

All of your images are delivered through a private online gallery. From there you can download, share, and order prints directly.

Retouching is included as part of every newborn session because those images tend to need a little extra love. For maternity sessions we're happy to do retouching upon request. Family sessions are all about real candid moments so we keep those natural, but if you have a specific concern just ask us.

That's all you! We find that a cake from your favorite local bakery or even a homemade one makes the whole thing feel more personal. Just bring something smashy and delicious and we'll handle the rest.

Absolutely. Sibling shots are some of our favorites and we always make time for them during newborn sessions.

That is completely expected and totally fine. Feeding, soothing, outfit changes, the occasional meltdown, it's all part of the process. Newborn sessions are intentionally longer for exactly this reason. We never rush it.

We recommend keeping it simple and coordinated rather than perfectly matching. Soft neutrals and earthy tones tend to photograph beautifully and keep the focus on your faces rather than your outfits. Avoid busy patterns or large logos if you can. When in doubt, send us a pic of your outfit options and we're happy to weigh in.

Of course. If you have something meaningful, a favorite toy, an heirloom blanket, something that tells your family's story, bring it. We love working with personal touches.

Sessions within about 25 miles of our home location are no problem. Beyond that we may add a travel fee depending on the distance. Just ask us when you book and we'll work it out.

We work with a professional print lab that uses superior paper and inks if you want something truly gallery worthy. That said, we totally understand if you prefer to use your own print service and your gallery makes that easy to do.
