Kind words

“Karla was amazing to work with…

From booking the session to receiving the final product, she made everything easy. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and took time to console our tired newborn when she needed some extra love. We absolutely love our photos and will treasure these special moments forever.”

–The Pham family

Hi there!

I’m Karla, the photographer behind the camera at Brittany Avenue Photography (named after the street I grew up on). I’m a mom to two boys and a sweet (but crazy!) labradoodle.

If you’re expecting or just had a baby… congratulations! I know this is such an exciting time for your family. I love being able to capture this special time for families. My favorite part of my job is getting to know each and every family I photograph and it’s so fun for me to watch little ones grow over the years.

I have a photography studio in west Houston and I also do in home newborn sessions. You can read more about the studio newborn session below. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

The Details

I. PLANNING YOUR SESSION

From wardrobe styling to hair and make up, I help my clients plan every detail of their session. As soon as you book your session, we’ll start to plan all the details, starting with what to wear. I have some dresses available for moms to wear in my client wardrobe, which is a great option for last minute sessions when there’s no time to shop! Or if you want to wear something of your own, I have a style guide I send to all of my clients that gives so many helpful tips… what styles photograph best for new mom, wear to shop and even some links to pieces that are available to purchase at some of my favorite online stores.

II. THE SESSION

Newborn sessions typically last 2-3 hours. The session is very relaxed. We won’t be taking pictures the entire time, but will have plenty of time to feed or soothe baby if needed. The session includes individual pictures of the baby and pictures of the baby with family.

III. AFTER THE SESSION

Within 3 weeks of your session you’ll receive a link to an online gallery where you can place an order for the collection you want as well as any products from my professional lab.

Investment

The investment is simple. A $250 session fee is due at booking to reserve your session. Then choose from our collections, which start at $500. All of our collection includes the digital images with the option to purchase fine art prints, framed fine art or an album.

Contact me for a full pricing list that includes the collections and all of the products we offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

I. When should I book my session?

I recommend booking your session at least 3-4 months in advance to ensure availability and give us plenty of time to plan all the details. If you want to book a session, I’ll send over the contract and invoice for the session fee. Once I receive that from you, I’ll put your due date on my calendar to reserve your spot, but we won’t schedule the exact date of the session until after the baby is born since you never know if they’ll be born early or late.

I schedule newborn sessions on weekdays at 10:30 AM. Occasionally weekends may be available for an additional fee.

II. When is the best time to do the newborn session?

I typically recommend doing the newborn session when the baby is around 7-10 days old since that’s when they sleep best. However, I’ve done plenty of “older” newborn sessions up to 6 weeks old and I love this age too! Typically for “older” newborns we may be able to capture a few sleeping pictures as well as some pictures where baby is awake.

III. Do you sell the digital images?

Yes! All of my collections include high resolution digital images from the session. My clients also have the option of purchasing products from my professional lab. My clients love heirloom albums for the newborn session, and many will also choose framed pictures as well.

IV. Do you offer a discount for multiple sessions?

Yes, I do! Clients have the option of either booking a single session or a membership. If you plan to do two or more sessions during baby’s first year (including maternity) then it would make the most sense to book the membership.

Contact me and I’ll be happy to send you all the details.

V. Is hair and make up included with the session?

Hair and make up is not included, but I have a few hair and make up artists that I’ve worked with that I refer my clients to.

VI. What are some of your favorite places to shop for maternity or newborn sessions?

My Wardrobe Style Guide that I send to all of my clients has lots of suggestions about where to shop. If I had to narrow it down to one store for moms, I would probably say Baltic Born because they have so many options that are in stock.
