The Next step is
planning your session
First, book your session with a 50% Deposit
Once I get your inquiry and you've decided we're a great fit, we'll secure a date and I'll send you my contract and invoice for your 50% deposit, which officially reserves your time on my calendar.
it's time for your
photo session!
Next, it's time for your sessions! For outdoor sessions, we meet at our decided location within 1-2 hours before sunset to have fun, play and enjoy the beauty of nature. For in-home newborn sessions, I come to your home mid-morning for the best light and least crankiest time of day for babies and big kids. I guide you through every portion of the session, including direction and making sure you look your best, while also feeling natural and relaxing together. Imagine NOT feeling awkward or stressed the whole time!
finally, receive your digital gallery & More!
Depending on which photo session package you choose, you'll receive your photos within 2-3 weeks from your session in a private online gallery. You'll be able to download and share your images, purchase professional prints, wall art and heirloom photo albums straight from the online store connected to your gallery.

Rivkah Leah made our family photo session dreams come true. She’s so professional and easy to work with from the beginning to the end. She worked so well with each of our children … especially our busy toddler :)
She gave us wonderful advice for color schemes and clothing and chose a gorgeous location for us. We are so grateful for the experience and look forward to doing photos with her for many years to come.

I treasure all of the precious closeups of my little newborn. The details of the moments I will never get back in real life, but now have the photos to relish in that fleeting time forever. So grateful to RL and her sweetness. 100% recommend to anyone looking for a newborn photographer!

We had a wonderful time working with Rivkah! She has a warm demeanor that quickly put us at ease, and her direction was clear but never forced or awkward.
Planning the logistics of the shoot was also very easy - she helped me find outfits for both myself and my husband, and it was easy to find one another at our shoot location.

Rivkah Leah was great for our family photo shoot. She handles the chaos of young kids during photos very well and is very patient.
She helps take the stress off of the mom (let’s face it, moms do most of the work putting these things together) by helping coordinate outfits and offering a great Client Guide. She also makes a point to help mom remain relaxed during the shoot. Will definitely book her again!

Rivkah captured some of the most precious moments of our family’s life with such beauty and I feel gratitude every day as I look back on those precious fleeting moments in time now reflected around the walls of our home.
Our maternity photos were so stunning and moved me so deeply that when I saw my newborn baby I just knew I had to find a way to budget in a newborn family photoshoot with Rivkah so that we could have some clear memories of a time that is so fleeting.

We had an amazing newborn session with Rivkah! We have three older girls and our newborn so I was expecting for the worst, but Rivkah did such an amazing job keeping the atmosphere very fun and relaxed! When she left I kept telling my husband what a great experience that was! AND our photos were everything! So grateful for Rivkah and these photos!

Common FAQs
Q: are your digital files RAW or edited?
A: I don't provide my RAW files because by the very nature of their name and file type, they are not complete. I choose the very best images from your session and edit them to my signature style - true to life, color corrected, slightly muted and warm - and make sure they are fully print and share-worthy and then save them in a file size and format that will be best for you to download, share and print.
Q: What kind of equipment do you use?
A: This might start getting a bit technical, but I personally use a Nikon Z6ii with prime lenses. I bring some creative tools with me as well as a couple different lenses, extra memory cards and batteries so no moment gets missed.
Q: Do you offer any albums, prints, canvases, etc?
A: Totally! But I want you feeling 1,000% comfortable and excited about the quality of your photographs before placing orders on those. That way, you only order exactly what you want, when you want, and when you know with confidence that they are going to look amazing on your walls and in your fine art heirloom albums. And all of this is done & ordered right through your online gallery!
Q: Do you offer payment plans?
A: Yes, I do! Traditional payments are 50% due at the time of booking (within a week) and the final 50% is due within a week prior to your session day. But, if you wanted to do the payment plan, I can stretch it into equal 1/3's if that works best for you. Just let me know what you prefer, and I will make it happen. It's that easy.
Q: what happens if the weather forecast isn't great?
We will discuss it and make a plan together. The weather here in Arizona is usually pretty stable but during certain seasons it can be unpredictable so I don't like to make a final decision until the night before or even the day of. I am happy to reschedule if it looks like rain but if your family is up for stomping in puddles and clear umbrellas, then so am I!
Q: How do I book you for the portrait session?
A: Love that question the most! To book me to document your family's story and love, simply reach out via my Contact Form and let me know your contact information, a little bit about your family and when you're thinking of doing your session and we'll get the party started!
