Timeless Family Portraits by Veleska Martin Photography
At Veleska Martin Photography, we specialize in creating timeless, high-quality portraits that capture life's most precious milestones. With over 12 years of experience in maternity and newborn photography, I bring a unique blend of artistic vision and technical expertise to every session. My training with world-renowned photographer Ana Brandt, including extensive newborn safety certification, ensures the highest standards of care and creativity. As a member of the Professional Photographers of America, I adhere to rigorous professional and ethical guidelines. My studio in Norwalk, Connecticut, serves clients locally and internationally, offering personalized sessions tailored to each family's unique story.I combine global experience with a deep understanding of local needs, having worked with diverse clients across the Tri-State area and beyond. My commitment to community is reflected in my ongoing support of charitable organizations through donated services and funding. Every session prioritizes safety, comfort, and artistic excellence, whether capturing the delicate details of a newborn or the joyful energy of growing families. I approach photography as both an art form and a service, ensuring clients receive heirloom-quality images that preserve their most cherished memories. This dedication to quality, combined with a passion for storytelling, defines my work and sets my studio apart.

Questions
What safety protocols are in place for newborn sessions?
Our fully vaccinated team follows strict hygiene practices including sterilized props, hand sanitization, and mask-wearing. We limit sessions to one every 48 hours and use UV air purification for added safety.
Can we still schedule a newborn session if baby is older?
Yes, while ideal for babies under two weeks, we successfully photograph infants up to six weeks old. We adapt our approach to accommodate each baby's developmental stage and comfort level.
What happens if my baby cries during the session?
We employ multiple soothing techniques developed through 12+ years of experience. Most babies settle with our gentle approach, and we build extra time into sessions to accommodate natural breaks for feeding and comfort.
Do you offer retouching services?
Standard retouching for minor imperfections is included. Advanced edits like color changes or head swaps require additional fees. We ensure all final images meet professional quality standards before delivery.
How long does the editing process take?
Soft proofs are available within one week. Full editing takes 7-14 days depending on package. Digital files can be downloaded immediately after selection, while printed products require approximately two weeks for production.
