After the shoot is over, she’ll keep in contact, dropping a few sneak peeks of photos your way until the gallery is completed.
Within a week of the session, you’ll get all high-resolution digital files (a minimum of 60); plus, you’ll get an app for your smartphone that gives you direct access to your images. And there are no hidden costs! You have the chance to choose from beautiful, high-quality, Italian-made products, from custom-made albums to wall art that will last for generations.

Shiwen’s top family photoshoot tip
“The truth about working with little people is that, despite our best intentions, they may not be in the mood for having their photo taken. They may be wary of the camera, or of strangers, or just reacting to a change in their routine. If this happens, as a professional family photographer, I’m presented with a unique opportunity to document the unconditional love, tenderness and grace that you give to your child. I only ask that you do the same with an honest, open heart and a willingness to let whatever happens during our time together happen with grace. This is a time for you to be fully present with your loved ones.”
