For the newborn session props such as buckets, baskets, and bowls along with hats and wraps are provided for the photo shoot. The client just needs to choose two colors for the newborn session and Opie will take care of the rest.

After the photo shoot client's can view and order their photos the same day in studio or another day that is scheduled. Opie will help each client choose the best photos from the session. The photos can be displayed and enjoyed as canvas wall art, prints inside a fine art box, or an heirloom leather album.

Every photo that is purchased as a print or put into an album comes with the retouched digital file.
