Do I get all the jpegs with the creative fee?
The Creative Fee includes everything above in the First Birthday Experience. Prints and Jpegs are purchased after the session experience.
We will contact you after our session to set up a time to show and review the images. During the call we will discuss your favorites, and discuss any photo editing you would like our team to make. This review and reveal session will take place from the comfort of your home, virtually.
You are able to purchase our print/digital collections which start at $650 or individual printed and digital files and matted images that start at $300.
Once payment is received in full you will receive immediate access to the digital collection of images you chose during our reveal and ordering session to download and print as you please. They will not be watermarked. You will receive any digital files in a gallery within 24 hours. We will then work on placing your print order. Please allow 3-4 weeks for albums and framed prints. Individual printed/matted images will take about 1-2 weeks.

Is there a minimum amount I need to purchase during my ordering session?
Nope! You simply buy what you love and we offer payment plans with no added fees to ensure that are able to get exactly what you want! We do find that most of our clients prefer the collections because they get more value per image versus purchasing a la carte print and digital images.

Do you have any props?
We like to keep things simple here at Ten Little Bluebirds. Our focus will be getting beautiful portraits of your little one in our studio space which is super simple white exposed brick walls with white or wood flooring for your shoot. If there are special items you would like to include (like your child’s favorite lovie) feel free to include. We love to tell the story of your little one through pictures at this point in time. We will include the cake, cupcake, and balloons.
Can other people join in the fun?
Due to the nature of this type of session we only include the birthday baby for these shoots. If you would like to have siblings or parents join - definitely reach out to us about a family session and we would be happy to accommodate.
Can we take pictures outside too?
We know and love the light in our studio space and want to make this easy and enjoyable for your little. This experience will take place in our light-filled downtown Naperville studio!
