What to Expect at Your Maternity Photo Session

When can I book my maternity session?

I recommend scheduling your maternity session between 30–36 weeks. If this is your second (or third!) baby, you may start showing sooner, so we can plan for closer to 28–30 weeks. If this is your first baby and your bump is still on the smaller side around 28 weeks, we can absolutely push your session closer to 35 weeks so your belly is beautifully round in your photos.

What should I wear?

What you wear for your maternity session can completely set the tone—and I’m here to help you feel confident, comfortable, and like yourself. I love flowy dresses that highlight your bump, because they photograph beautifully and add that soft, romantic movement in every frame. That said, your outfit really depends on the type of session you choose and your overall vibe. For studio maternity sessions, a more casual look can be so flattering and modern—think jeans and a crop top, a fitted tank, or something simple and effortless. And if you’re not feeling like showing your bump, no problem at all. You can always switch into a blazer or suit top for a more elevated, editorial vibe that still feels powerful and timeless.

Client Closet – How does that work?

We have an assortment of dresses and gowns available for our clients for use during your session. With sizes ranging from 00-24. Most of our gowns are catered to maternity sessions but can be used for a family session. Email us to schedule a dress try on before your maternity session.

What kind of Maternity Sessions do you offer?

We have 3 packages to choose from, see the list below. In-studio Mini Sessions, 1hr Studio Sessions and 1hr Sunset sessions. Each session is perfect for every stage of life. Our in-studio mini sessions are a great 30-minute session that offers you the opportunity to take beautiful images of you and your partner. Our 1hr Studio sessions are perfect for families or if you have multiple outfit ideas in mind. Our 1hr Sunset Session is perfect for getting out and being in nature. We have a list of locations to choose from, you are not limited to our locations. Please let us know if you have any specific locations in mind. Depending on the time of year, we could offer you seasonal options. Such as Almond Blossoms (late Feb/early March), wildflower (March/April) and Sunflowers (late July/early August).

What if I need the photos by my baby shower?

Please reach out as soon as possible. On average, we book about 2-3 months in advance. Once you hit 16 weeks, it’s time to start scheduling your maternity session. We recommend being around 30-35 weeks for your photos. On average gallery delivery is expected around 3-4 weeks following your session. We do offer expedited gallery delivery for an additional $150.
