The Experience
From the moment you inquire to the day your final gallery is delivered, every step of the experience is thoughtfully designed to be simple, personalized, and stress-free. My goal is to create beautiful, timeless photographs while making the entire process enjoyable for your family.
01. Book Your Session
Once you've chosen the photography experience that's right for your family, simply fill out my contact form. I'll be in touch via email with more information, answer any initial questions, and send over your booking proposal.
A signed client agreement and retainer are required to officially reserve your session date. Once those are complete, you're officially on my calendar!
Over the weeks leading up to your session, I'll check in with you and provide everything you need to feel prepared, including a detailed questionnaire and session guide that walks you through the entire experience.
02. Get Prepared
Every session is thoughtfully planned with your family in mind. If you've booked a maternity session, we'll schedule an in-person consultation at the studio where you can explore my client closet, try on gowns, and plan the look and feel of your session together. This is also the perfect time to answer any questions and ensure every detail reflects your vision.
For all sessions, you'll receive a detailed questionnaire and prep guide so you know exactly what to expect. Using your responses, I'll personalize your session so everything is ready before you arrive.
03. Session Day
It's finally here! Simply arrive and enjoy the experience. Your sets, colors, wraps, outfits, and styling will already be prepared based on your preferences.
Newborn sessions are relaxed and baby-led, allowing plenty of time for feeding, soothing, cuddles, and breaks whenever needed. There's never any pressure or rush, just a calm environment where beautiful memories naturally unfold.
04. Choose Your Favorites
About one week after your session, you'll receive a private online proofing gallery with watermarked images from our time together. From there, simply choose your favorite images for professional retouching. Each selected portrait is carefully hand-edited with my signature style before your final gallery is delivered for download. If you'd love to display your photographs beyond the screen, heirloom-quality prints, albums, and artwork are also available.
When Should You Book?
To ensure availability, I recommend booking your maternity, newborn, and family sessions 3–4 months in advance.
For newborn sessions, don't worry if your baby hasn't arrived yet. We'll reserve your due date on my calendar and schedule the exact session date once your little one is here.

This is me.
This is my work.
And honestly, it’s so much more than just taking pictures.
It’s the connection I build with my clients, the little moments I notice, the details I obsess over, and the memories I get to preserve for families to hold onto for years to come.
I’m not always the best at capturing behind-the-scenes or showing the person behind the camera. I’m usually too busy being fully present with my clients, creating, laughing, connecting, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for.
But this is a little piece of me and the heart behind Vanessa Koza Photography.
Simple. Timeless. Meaningful. 🤍
Thank you for trusting me with your memories. It truly means more than you know.

Confession: I am HORRIBLE at capturing behind-the-scenes content.
Most of the time, I’m way too focused on the actual session to remember to pull out my phone and film myself working.
I’m busy connecting with my clients, getting the little details just right, making their babies comfortable, fixing dresses, adjusting poses, laughing, and building a relationship with the people in front of my camera.
And honestly… I wouldn’t have it any other way.
So if you don’t see a ton of behind-the-scenes footage around here, just know I’m probably too busy creating the experience.

More than maternity, newborn & family portraits…
I also create Feminine Empowered portraits designed to celebrate you.
So, what exactly is this type of session?
It can be whatever you want it to be. Maybe you’re looking for a timeless, elevated portrait that simply captures your beauty—or maybe you want something a little more bold, confident, and feminine.
And if you can’t decide? We can create a beautiful mix of both. Because you don’t have to be celebrating a pregnancy, a milestone, or your family to deserve beautiful portraits. Sometimes, YOU are the reason to book the session.
Beauty. Confidence. A little feminine fire. Let’s create something beautiful.
