What should I expect from a maternity session?
A maternity portrait session is all about the excitement you and your partner feel for your growing baby, and of course, the growing belly bump! Maternity Sessions can be shot outside or at your house. If you would like the session at your house, images will be shot in a very natural and "lifestyle" way using the different areas of your home. Don't be afraid of a session at your house, it can really be a lot of fun to use different areas of your house in a very casual way!
What is the best time during my pregnancy to schedule a maternity session?
The best time during your pregnancy for a maternity portrait session is between 32 and 36 weeks from the start of the pregnancy. This is the time when women have a lovely, full, and round shape. You are usually still pretty physically comfortable at this point, which is helpful for you to move around! Having your photo session in this time frame would also give you adequate time to select your favorite photos from the session and order the prints before the birth of your baby.
What should I wear to my maternity session?
The basic rule for any maternity session is to select and wear comfortable clothing that also shows off your baby bump. Tighter clothes around the belly really show it off! Light, Neutral, feminine clothes look great. But, I'm also down for some ripped jeans and a white t-shirt. Whatever you are COMFORTABLE IN and makes you feel like YOU!
Can I bring any additional clothing?
Portrait sessions are all about you! You are more than welcome to change outfits to create your special photographs. If your partner is going to be included in the session, you can also bring clothing changes for them.
I am feeling self-conscious about my size. Should I still have a maternity session?
If you are feeling a little self-conscious of your growing belly, I first want to say DON'T! But, I too have been pregnant and know the feeling of areas growing and stretching (and not just in my belly). I am all about making you feel comfortable and want you to feel your best. You are growing a human, and you are MAGNIFICENT! I can shoot at different angles or hide areas you might be one hundred percent comfortable with. NO PROBLEM. The important part is that you are capturing images of yourself and your body in the most amazing way!
Do you offer savings if I book a newborn session as well?
YOU BET! I have a Maternity + Newborn Bundle. It's a $75 savings and it's so fun for me to work with you for maternity & newborn! My newborn sessions are shot in a Lifestyle way and done naturally in your home.
