Testimonials

"Worth every penny"

I came across Aline (Beautifully Captivated) when she was recommended in a FB group I’m in. As a first time mom, I had no idea what to expect from a newborn shoot, but she was an absolute magician with my little one and I was so impressed with how she handled her throughout the shoot. She was so gentle, patient, and sweet, and of course, the photos came out amazing! Worth every penny. Kristen L.

“Aline is a baby whisperer"

“Aline is a baby whisperer. She was able to get my daughter to sleep through the whole shoot. Such a pleasure to work with. And her pictures came out amazing. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and I have. You won’t be disappointed.“ Katherine R.

"Look no further!"

If you are looking for the perfect newborn photographer, look no further! I knew that I had wanted Beautifully Captivated to take my newborn photos before I even knew I was expecting. Aline was amazing to work with, her creativity and attention to detail is truly unmatched. We are in absolute awe of our baby's and family photos from that day!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!

"Completely worth it"

We went to Aline for my daughters cake smash. We drove an hour to get these pictures done and i'm so glad we did it was completely worth it. She did such an amazing job! The pictures came out so beautiful. She was so sweet when we got there and knew exactly how to get my little girl to smile :) The cake she provided was beautiful as well. I recommend her 100% Thank you again Aline deff will be coming back for future kids ;)

"Simply the best!!!

Aline was simply the best!!! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable during our first maternity shoot and the pictures came out BEAUTIFUL. I have truly never liked as many photos of myself as I did after seeing the album. I cannot wait to use her again post baby!!

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO RESERVE MY NEWBORN SESSION?: It suggest booking at least 3 months in advance! Because my calendar fills up so quickly, its best to reserve your session as early as possible. I take a limited number of sessions each month to allow for flexibility of due dates. If your baby is already here, don't worry! Sometimes there are last minute cancellations and I might be able to fit you in, just contact me!
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO DO THE SESSION?: Maternity sessions are best done starting at 28 weeks.

That is when you will start to show more.

Newborn Sessions are best done within 3 weeks of birth.

This allows for baby to be sleepy and posable for the duration of the session. If your little one is older than that timeframe, no worries! It's still possible to capture beautiful photos with a few tricks.

Cake Smash are best done at 11 months to allow for images to be ready by 1st birthday. However, we can celebrate this BIG milestone up until 18 months.
WHAT IF MY BABY CRIES?: With 6 years of experience, I have developed a workflow that will keep your baby comfortable and sleeping throughout. Some are light sleepers, or more awake than others, and that is ok! We can get beautiful eyes open photos and with some technique, we will bee bale to get beautiful images throughout.

For Cake Smash, some are more shy or have stranger danger. That is ok too. Session is never rushed, and we will warm it up with music or favorite show to get your baby comfortable for beautiful images of a lifetime.
HOW DO I BOOK A SESSION WHEN I DON'T KNOW WHEN MY BABY WILL ARRIVE?: When you book your session, your due date reserves a spot on my calendar. Once baby is here, you let me know within 48 hours so we can set a definite date for our newborn session within those 3 weeks time frame.
HOW LONG DOES THE SESSION LAST?: Newborn Sessions will last around 2 hours. This all depends on the baby. Some will need more frequent feeding brakes, some will sleep throughout. The baby's comfort and safety is my priority. Your baby runs the show!

Maternity session lasts approximately45 - 60 minutes rather in studio or on location.

Cake Smash lasts around 45 minutes. We start with classic poses then move on to the cake, then splash fun in the bath.
DO WE NEED TO BRING ANYTHING TO THE SESSION?: I provide everything for your session! All you have to do is show up! I have lots of bonnets, headbands, outfits and props. I individually style each session and always ask for your input on colors. My style is very neutral, simple and minimal.

However, in the case you have something special that you'd like to include in the session, please let me know ahead of time so that I can prepare for it. Whether it be a handmade blanket, heirloom items, sports memorabilia or military/law enforcement items, I will do my best to try and incorporate them into your session.

As for Maternity, I have a exclusive gowns and drapes to offer included in our session.
WHEN/HOW DO WE PAY?: I kindly ask clients for a retainer to hold their due date on the calendar. I take a limited number of newborn sessions a month so that I can accommodate babies that may come early or later than their anticipated due date.

The remaining balance is due at the end of the session and I accept cash or credit card.
WHAT IS YOUR TURNAROUND TIME ON IMAGES?: My current turnaround time from the day you choose your favorites is about 2 weeks.
HOW DO YOU DELIVER PHOTOS?: Shortly after the session, you will receive a proofing gallery where you will then be able to choose your favorite images.

I then edit and perfect those chosen images and return them to you in a final gallery where you can download them right to your computer or phone.

I allow my clients to print their photos as they wish, but I do recommend staying away from Walmart, Walgreens and Costco. I suggest using the gallery the images are sent with for the highest quality print. They are very reasonably priced and shipping is fairly quick!

I do offer premium albums and printed photo wood blocks at an additional cost as well.

They are Only Little this Once ...
