FAQ
Welcome! I would love to be your newborn photographer and capture all those sweet moments of your baby's newness!
Newborn sessions take place at my private home studio, located 15 minutes south of Calgary, in Okotoks, AB. I provide everything you’ll need for your session (yes, all the cute headbands, hats, wraps, buckets, and other adorable props!)
Each session includes high resolution digital images, an online gallery where you can download your pictures directly and the option to order prints, albums and wall art.
I understand that you're probably juggling a lot as new parents, so I want to make this newborn photography process as easy as possible. You won't need to return to the studio just to view or order your photos. Instead, I'll send you a link to your proofing gallery, allowing you to make your selections from the comfort of your home. No stress, no extra trips!
Sessions take place Monday - Thursdays starting at 10am.
What are classic & wrapped poses?
Classic pose are the naked, curled up poses of baby usually on a blanket, without the use of props (beds, buckets, etc). Wrapped poses are where you baby is fully swaddled and placed in little beds, baskets, blankets and other props.
How many pictures will I have to choose from in the proofing gallery?
The proofing gallery for the Signature & Heirloom sessions will have approximately 20-50 edited digital files & pictures for you to choose from. The Petite Session will have approximately 10-15 pictures to choose from. The proofing gallery will only have minor edits applied to the images. A fully edited gallery will be sent once you have chosen your final images. Your final images will be available to download, print, share and order albums & wall art!
Can I purchase more pictures than what are included with the session?
Absolutely! If you love more than what's included with the session, you are more than welcome to purchase additional images! Additional images are $30/image (discounts are available for full gallery purchases)!
Does the Petite or Signature Session include family pictures?
Because these are shorter newborn sessions, they include baby only. The Heirloom session includes all the bells and whistles with family, baby and sibling poses!
Where can I see more of your newborn pictures?
You can find more of my newborn portfolio here: Newborn Portfolio or on my Instagram page: @danamenendezphotography and Facebook: Dana Menendez Photography.
How long have you been a newborn photographer?
I've been a photographer for over 15 years, but I have specialized in Newborn Photography for the last 10 years. Newborns are my passion, and I absolutely love creating these special memories for families. Over the years, I've photographed over 500 babies and honed my skills to ensure your baby is safe and comfortable during their session. I've invested heavily in learning the proper ways to handle and pose your most precious little human, and I believe that experience over price should always be considered when choosing a newborn photographer.
Do you offer maternity photography and maternity sessions?
Yes! You can learn more about my maternity sessions here.

What clients are saying...
We were so excited to have Dana take pictures of our beautiful daughter. We could not be more pleased with how all of our pictures have turned out.
Dana treats us like friends and is very responsive. She made our family feel comfortable and took the time needed to get beautiful pictures. Children, especially newborn infants, don't always cooperate ... but Dana has a magic touch.
We would recommend Dana without reservation whenever you have a newborn baby. We will forever cherish the pictures Dana took of our precious daughter.

"It's so nice not having to worry about bringing anything for the session! Dana said all we needed to bring was our baby and she wasn't kidding!"
"Dana helped us create a beautiful wall collage from our newborn session! She put together different arrangements for us to choose from. She made everything so easy! We always get compliments on our gallery wall!"
Kind Words
One of the most exciting things about expecting our third child was that Dana could potentially take her newborn photographs. She accomplished the most amazing work with our second, both newborn and first birthday pictures. Rarely is it that you love every photo, but honestly, I have loved every. single. one.
Her studio is comfortable, warm and neatly stocked with every color wrap, headband and prop ready to be utilized. But what sets Dana apart is not only her super power- baby whispering, but that she is one of those people who you instantly want to consider a friend.
She is kind, funny, focused, professional, creative, talented, family-oriented and a lover of all humans. She will make you want to have babies well into your advanced maternal age life because she makes the sessions so effortless and fun.

My wife and I had chosen Dana as our new born photographer after researching for a month or so. We are extremely happy that we have chosen her for our first baby boy.
She is incredibly organized and is very good at what she does. She is very detailed and thoughtful of her client needs. I would highly recommend her and her great work.
Dana - Thanks again for helping us to make memories!!

Absolutely loved our newborn photo session with Dana!!
Her studio is set up and decorated so nicely. Love how she sends a questionnaire to get a feel of what kind of photo shoot you want. The props and swaddles she uses are all so cute!
She's also super kind and sweet! Terrific with our 2 1/2 week old.
Overall, our experience was a 10/10. Definitely recommend! :)
