Gentle flexibility for real birth stories

Scheduling is anchored to your estimated due date, with space for the way your baby’s story unfolds. If birth coverage becomes unavailable because of labor timing, hospital restrictions, or unexpected circumstances, coverage may transition to a First 48 session.

Your story. Your privacy.

Birth and newborn photographs are deeply personal. Your galleries may remain private, and booking does not require permission for Shy Luxe to publish your images. Promotional image use requires a separate opt-in model release.
