*Please note that a retainer and a signed contract is required to be officially booked.
The first step in booking with me is a consultation. While texting and emailing is great, many times, information can be misinterpreted through those means of communication so in order for me to meet your expectations, a consultation is mandatory.
A Pre-Shoot Consultation is where we will discuss, in person, details relating to your shoot (your ideas, locations, wardrobe choices, shooting date & time, how to prep for your session, etc.) You will also have a hands-on experience with my signature and heirloom products.
Previous clients really appreciate this step because it helps prepare them for their session and it allows them to connect with me before their shoot.
For the consultation, you can bring location ideas, photo inspiration, potential outfits, potential props, questions and concerns, & more!
I do not suggest bringing kids to this process.
​After booking, we will discuss a date and time for your consultation.
You should book your session at least 1-3 months in advance.
For example: If your child's 1st birthday is in August, I suggest booking the 1st birthday session in late June. That way we can plan the custom session. PLUS, I do not like to rush with photo editing. I want your photos to look A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Booking far in advance lets me complete your photos within a decent amount a time without rushing.

The best way to contact me is through email: dnewsomephotography[at]gmail.com. Please do not use Facebook messenger or Instagram DMs as a way to contact me. I do not always receive your messages. To contact me, click here.
I prefer to shoot in the evening because it gives a warm, golden look to images, which is what I prefer. When the sun is shining bright, shadows tend to be present on the face, which is not a desired look in my style of photography. It will be worth the wait to schedule later in the day. Your photos will look amazing during that time. I guarantee it!
As soon as you book your session, we will schedule an in-person, Pre-Shoot Consultation where we will discuss everything in relation to your session.
Yes! As long as you tag me when you post them! I always love behind the scenes shots as well! But seriously, if your cell phone becomes a distraction, I will ask that you put it away so we can continue with the session. No professional DSLRs are allowed at the session.
Currently, I do not travel for sessions. All sessions must be taken in the Valdosta, GA area.
Studio location will be disclosed 1-2 days before your session date.
Your retainer must be paid through my booking site. Your remaining balance is due the day before your session. You will receive an automated payment reminder email the day before your session. f you would like to pay the remaining balance in cash, it is due before shooting begins. I do not accept Cash App, Venmo, or Zelle.
Props and decor, except number balloons, are mainly supplied for birthday sessions only. However, you are welcome to bring any props that you would like to be photographed with.
