Maternity Session: When To Book

Are you expecting a baby? Trying to figure out if a maternity session is something you want to do? As a mom and a photographer, I highly recommend it. And you may be thinking, I don’t feel like I’m glowing or I just don’t have that cute bump all the other pregnant mamas have. Look, no one carries their baby the same, and no one “feels” good pregnant, but when you put on a maternity gown, do your hair and make up and show up to capture this session, I promise you, you will be so happy you made the choice to book this session.

FAQs

  1. When should I book my session?

    1. You want to book your session during your second trimester for around 30-36 weeks. We want you to be showing enough to see your bump but not wait so long that you are overly uncomfortable closer to your due date.

  2. Can my significant other and/or older children attend?

    1. Absolutely. Your significant other and your kids are gaining another member of their family too. We want to capture their excitement as well as yours.

  3. Can I do the session by myself?

    1. If you just want to have a couple images of yourself to capture your pregnancy, that is also totally fine. I have mamas all the time book sessions just for them, because they want to capture this time.

  4. Do you offer wardrobe?

    1. I do actually. I have a very small client closet but I am always looking to expand. If I have a dress currently that you want to wear you are more than welcome to use it for your session. If I don’t have one you like or in your size or your style, I have a photographer account with a great gown company and can always order you something to add to my client closet after your session.

  5. Do I have to wear a maternity gown?

    1. Of course not. If you want to wear maternity jeans and a tshirt, you totally can do that. I want you to feel comfortable during your session.

Whether this is your first or 10th child, I highly recommend having a maternity session. It might not be something you think you want right now, but I promise you won’t regret having this time of your pregnancy captured in print, to have and look back on forever.

If you have any questions at all, feel free to contact me and ask all the questions. I can also add on a maternity session to a newborn session or a Bean Sprout Package for a smaller session fee. ;)
