when is the best time to book my maternity session?
Sessions normally take place between weeks 28-34 of your pregnancy.
what should i wear?
Above all, I want you to prioritize clothing you feel comfortable, beautiful, and confident in. What you choose to wear depends on the look you are going for. Some popular options are:
• bandeau, bra, or bralette top with a flowy maxi skirt or jeans
• lingerie
• form fitting dresses
• flowy maxi dresses
• button up shirt (unbuttoned) with jeans
how do i prepare for my session?
• Try not to wear tight underwear and clothing on the day of the session to prevent marks on your skin.
• Clean nails, free of chipped nail polish, or get a manicure and pedicure a day or two in advance.
• Clean and simple hair and makeup. Practice your hair and makeup look in advance if you plan to try something new instead of winging it before you head to your session to avoid any hiccups. You can also book a hair and make up artist for your session. You may book your own stylist or select it as an add-on to your session and I will book you with the stylist I use for my clients!
where do maternity sessions take place?
I offer sessions outdoors, in various rental studios, and in-home for a more intimate, cozy feel. If you love the idea of bright sun-lit photos or golden sunlight filtering through the trees, we can plan for an outdoor session at sunrise or sunset. If you prefer a relaxed, lifestyle approach, we can document your journey in the comfort of your home. Studio sessions offer a clean, sleek, and modern look as well as themed, decorated sets depending on the time of year!
do you offer both color and black-and-white images?
Yes! I include a mix of both in your final gallery. Some moments just feel more timeless in black and white, and I love using both to tell your story beautifully.
