Join the Glean & Co Baby Registry

It's a way for friends and family to contribute towards your baby's professional newborn photoshoot, typically done within the first two weeks after birth.

What is a newborn photography registry?

Why should I consider a photography registry instead of traditional gifts?

You can set various contribution levels to accommodate different budgets. Many registries offer options ranging from $25 to $500+. We'll help you decide what makes the most sense for your custom registry.

How do I set contribution amounts?

That's entirely up to you. You can choose which photos to share and with whom after the session.

Contributions typically go towards a keepsake album, wall art, or additional digital images of your choosing. This allows you to preserve and display these precious newborn memories in the way that best suits your preferences and home.

Will contributors get to see the photos?

What will the contributions be used for?

While traditional gifts are useful, a photography registry allows you to capture precious memories of your newborn that you'll cherish forever. It's a unique gift that grows in value over time.

What if we receive more funds than needed for the newborn shoot?

Any excess funds can often be applied to future milestone photography sessions or your baby's first birthday photoshoot, allowing you to capture more precious moments as your child grows. 

Your Questions, Answered

How will we know who has contributed?

You'll receive notifications of contributions, allowing you to thank your guests personally (unless they've chosen to remain anonymous). On the day of your photoshoot, you'll receive a final tally of all the gifts you've received. This total will be available for you to use towards your final order, helping you choose the perfect mix of products to preserve your newborn memories.

Can contributors attend the newborn photoshoot?

The decision about who attends the newborn photoshoot is entirely up to the parents. While some families choose to include grandparents or other special family members, others prefer a more intimate session with just the parents and baby present. Our registries make it clear that attendance is at the parents' discretion. 

Are the gift card contributions refundable or redeemable for cash?

Gift card contributions are not refundable or redeemable for cash. However, we understand that plans can change. If for any reason you choose not to have newborn photos taken, the funds contributed can be used toward any photoshoot within one year of your baby's due date. This flexibility ensures that you can still capture special memories of your growing family, whether it's a 6-month milestone session, a family portrait, or even your baby's first birthday photos.

Do I have to do the maternity mini session to set up a registry?

No, it's not mandatory. While we highly recommend the complimentary session to capture your beautiful baby bump, we understand it might not work for everyone. You can send an ultrasound photo or personal snapshot for your registry page instead. However, we encourage you to consider the mini session - it's a fleeting moment worth professionally capturing!
