A Simple,
Done-for-You
Experience
Every session at Arcadian Photography is crafted to be calm, guided, and completely baby-led. From wardrobe styling to the warm, peaceful atmosphere of my Salem studio, my goal is to make this experience effortless and meaningful for your family.
Below is a quick look at how my pricing works so you can get a feel for the investment.
Designed for Busy Parents
If you’ve ever shopped for art of any kind before, you know that prices can vary widely—and photography is no different. Like other forms of art, it’s rarely an apples-to-apples comparison.
Families choose Arcadian Photography because they value a calm, guided experience and timeless images they’ll treasure for decades.
Investment varies depending on the type of session and the collection selected. Most families invest around $1,000 or more for their portrait experience.
Most families find it helpful to see their images first before deciding how many they’d like to keep.

Reserving Your Session
Choosing Your Images
You’ll view your images during a one-day online ordering appointment, where you can take your time selecting the photographs you love and choose the collection that feels right for your family.
Many families tell me they appreciate seeing their photographs before choosing a collection. This allows you to select the images you truly love, rather than guessing ahead of time how many you’ll want.
Once your order is complete, your fully edited digital images will be delivered in a private online gallery where you can download, share, and archive them.
Bump to Baby Bundle
Many families choose to pair their maternity session with a newborn session so they can document the full story from bump to baby. When you book both, you’ll receive a discount on your maternity order and a discount on your newborn order.
The One Baby Investment
Babies come with lots of “must-haves,” and some of them are definitely splurge-worthy: the Snoo, the Nuna Pipa, the Veer wagon… You name it. But here’s the thing: every one of those amazing gadgets eventually gets outgrown.
What doesn’t get outgrown?
Your photos.
Newborn and baby portraits are the one investment that will never be donated, outdated, or passed on to a friend. They become heirlooms, the kind your kids will treasure long after the Owlet sock and BabyBjorn bouncer are packed away.
And when you stack the numbers? Those five popular baby splurges total over $3,500… while most Arcadian families invest only about half of that on newborn photography. The memories last forever, the gear doesn’t. 🤍
That Never Gets Outgrown
My family and I had a wonderful experience with Katie at Arcadian Photography. She made the whole experience personalized to our wishes and was very supportive and encouraging throughout the photography process. Our photos came back beautiful and more perfect than I could have asked for.
