FAQs
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME FOR A MATERNITY SESSION?
I accept Maternity clients from 28 weeks until the birth, however, the ideal time for Maternity portraits is between 28-35 weeks of your pregnancy. In this time frame, you can expect your baby bump to be big enough for a beautiful belly, that you will still feel comfortable. If you are expecting multiples, I suggest scheduling your Maternity session between 24-30 weeks of pregnancy.
DO YOU OFFER A MATERNITY AND NEWBORN BUNDLE?
Yes, I do! When you book both sessions, you save 10% off your Newborn session. To book your bundle you will pay your $300 retainer fee to secure both sessions.
HOW LONG IS THE MATERNITY SESSION?
A typical full family Maternity photo session will take up to 1.5 hours to complete. This will include outfit changes during your session. Maternity sessions can be done with the mother only, or with the partner & family. We will take as many breaks as you or your family might need for a relaxed Maternity session experience, no worries!
WHAT TIME OF DAY IS BEST FOR MY SESSION?
It depends on if you are booking a studio or an outdoor Maternity session. I shoot studio sessions later mornings during the week so you have time to come to the studio refreshed and have time to get dolled up if you decide to do so. The perfect time for an outdoor session is the golden hour, about 1 hr 15 min before sunset.
IS MY SPOUSE OR FAMILY INCLUDED?
Unless it is the petite session package which is for the pregnant client only, the family is welcome to join in the fun at no extra charge. Photographing your growing bump is a celebration of your whole family’s upcoming addition.
DO YOU PROVIDE THE RAW FILES?
You will be provided with edited images only. Each picture is hand-edited and will be a representation of my work. Be sure to look at my portfolio to ensure my work and style are a good match for you.
DO I GET THE DIGITALS?
You get to keep your chosen images. Clients will receive a full gallery of professionally edited images at print resolution. Prints wall art and albums are available through your online gallery shop.
DO YOU OFFER MATERNITY DRESSES?
Yes, I do! I have a client closet full of dresses for my mothers to wear. I have a variety of options that go from a fully covered body to flowy. These fabrics is stretchable and will fit all-sized mamas.
DO I NEED TO BRING ANYTHING?
Only a strapless bra and seamless thong/underwear is recommended to be brought from home.
CAN I ADD-ON AN OUTDOOR SESSION TO MY STUDIO SESSION?
Absolutely! In fact, this is very popular amongst our clients as they love the diversity of in studio and outdoor portraits at sunset. This creates both stylish and lifestyle images of your growing family. These will be ad-on session and feel free to ask me when booking.
I FEEL AWKWARD IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO POSE!
I used to feel the same! I will 100% guide you with all the posing ideas & help position you in flattering ways. Photography often feels awkward in the moment, but looks so natural in images.
