Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring my family to my session?

Yes! We encourage you to bring family and friends to share this special moment. Our studio comfortably seats 6 guests, but you’re welcome to bring more if you’d like.

Do I need an appointment?

Yes. All sessions are by appointment only. We currently schedule appointments on Fridays from 9 AM to 3 PM

Do you accept insurance?

No. Our ultrasounds are elective and non-diagnostic, so they are not covered by insurance.

How can I improve the quality of my ultrasound session?

Staying well-hydrated makes a big difference! We recommend drinking extra water for about a week leading up to your appointment. Having a light snack or juice just before your session may also help encourage baby to move.

What if my baby doesn’t cooperate?

Sometimes babies have their own plans! At the discretion of the sonographer, we may offer one complimentary rescan during FRC’s normal business hours. Multiple factors can affect image quality, such as placenta location, baby’s position, or amniotic fluid levels. If needed, we’ll do our best to give you another chance to see your little one.

If I’m expecting twins, is there an extra charge?

No. The session price is the same regardless of how many babies. Please note, capturing images of twins can sometimes be more challenging, and occasionally one baby may “steal the show,” but we always do our best to get images of both.
