Experience

WORKING WITH DOUNIA

From the very first message to the moment you hold your gallery, my goal is for you to feel calm, cared for, and completely at ease. Newborns set their own pace, toddlers have big feelings, and I leave plenty of room for both. Every session is gentle, unhurried, and led by your little one.


I work in a soft, light-filled style — clean, timeless, and free of clutter — so the focus stays exactly where it belongs: on your baby's tiny features, your family's quiet connection, and the love that fills the room.

FAQ

  1. WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY NEWBORN SESSION?

For newborns, I recommend reaching out during pregnancy so we can hold a spot in your due-date window. Sessions usually happen within the first two to three weeks, when babies are at their sleepiest and snuggliest. That said, I love photographing older babies too, so it's never too late to get in touch.

 

  1. DO YOU OFFER IN-HOME SESSIONS?

 

Yes! I'm based at Grow Clinics in Dbayeh, but I also offer in-home newborn and family sessions so you don't have to leave the comfort of your own space. Lifestyle sessions at home are wonderful for capturing your family exactly as life looks right now.

 

  1. WHAT IS A CAKE SMASH SESSION LIKE?

 

Cake smash sessions are pure joy! We start with a few sweet portraits, then bring out a custom cake for your little one to dig into. It's messy, giggly, and so much fun. We can add a bubble bath afterward for the cutest clean-up. Perfect for celebrating that big first birthday milestone.

 

  1. HOW DO I BOOK & WHAT'S YOUR POLICY?

 

Booking is easy! Just head to my booking page or send me a message to choose your session and date. A $100 non-refundable deposit secures your spot, with the balance due on the day of your session. I can't wait to create something beautiful with you and your family.
