Maternity Session Information

Scheduling.

Maternity sessions are best captured between 32 and 36 weeks of pregnancy so that you have a nice round belly but are still feeling well.  If you’re expecting multiples, your session should be scheduled anywhere from 24-32 weeks, depending on your unique circumstances.  Of course, if you are finding me closer to your due date, don’t hesitate!  We can photograph maternity sessions up until your baby is born.  Check availability for last minute sessions.

Planning + Styling.

Prior to your maternity session, we will meet in person to get to know each other and discuss lighting, posing, and wardrobe.  You will have access to my maternity gown collection, try on the gowns to decide what you’ll wear for the session, and we will discuss the styling for the other family members included in the session.  If you would prefer to purchase your own gown, I will provide you with a list of my favorite exquisite dress makers and vendors and help you find what you’re looking for. We will also have the opportunity to review the gorgeous heirloom products that I offer in person so that you can start planning the display options and the final desired result from your session.

Family Welcome.

You can be photographed by yourself, with a significant other, with your other children, if this is not your first baby, or with a grandmother or grandfather-to-be.  The more the merrier!  We know this is a precious and exciting time in one’s life and it should be captured with your family and loved ones.

Maternity Session.

The moment we’ve been waiting for!  Professional hair and makeup artistry can be added to your session for an additional fee, so that all you have to do is show up and you will be pampered and feel beautiful, strong, and glowing in the planned wardrobe.  The session will move at a calm and relaxed pace, giving breaks when needed, to provide an unforgettable experience and create stunning portraits of this momentous time in your life.

Reveal and Ordering Session.

Within 10 days of your session, I will come to your home to reveal your gorgeous images, create custom wall displays, and guide and assist you through the image and product decision-making process.  The chosen images will receive master art retouching prior to product orders being placed.

Delivery and Installation.

Your ordered products will be hand delivered and installed at your home.  A custom experience from beginning to end.
