Shonda Hope Photography provides everything you will need for your little one's newborn session.

The studio is stocked with props, blankets, wraps, hats, bows, and outfits.

(Props are handpicked by Shonda to match the style of the session.)

If you would like to bring anything with you to incorporate within your session, you are more than welcome to!

How long does it take to receive my images?

Client: If you do not see your email within 21 days, please check your spam folder.

How Covid-19 Affects the Studio

Shonda Hope Photography is currently limited to 1 newborn session a day.

The studio has always practiced cleanliness and safety and that has not changed. Shonda always washes newborn outfits or garments - basically, anything that touches the skin of a baby during a newborn session is cleaned before it is used, again. This continues to happen as well as sanitizing hands, props, and surfaces.

Shonda wears a facemask for all newborn sessions

As always, to help reduce the spread of illness and germs, if clients are sick or showing any symptoms of illness, please reschedule. Shonda has her current immunizations, and always makes sure her health is number one before ever entering the studio. If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to ask.
