SESSIONS
When is the best time for me to be photographed?
I recommend scheduling your maternity session for when you are between 29-35 weeks. You'll want your precious baby bump very visible. Again we want to ‘see the bump’. I typically recommend the beginning of the last trimester and hopefully before 35 weeks. Once you reach that point, things start to get uncomfortable – getting up and down is tough work. The best thing to do is communicate with me and we'll decide when the time is right. Also make sure there are no complications like risk of preterm delivery, physical limitations, possibility of bed rest or expecting multiples (and if that were the case you would probably need to schedule your session in the 2nd trimester).
What time of day will my photo shoot be scheduled?
Outdoor sessions (weather permitting) I like to schedule 1-2 hours before sunset for the perfect warm glow. As you can see, it's my trademark. Natural light is beautiful & super fun to work with, especially when working with moms to be and their precious bumps. Indoor/lifestyle sessions available upon request - (nursery & home)
Studio in the future, keep your eyes peeled!
How long should the session last?
Depending on the type of shoot and package you've chosen, sessions should last 60 to 90 minutes. You can't rush art. It’s my objective to get to know each of my clients and for them to feel comfortable with me. For that reason, I have a pre-session consultation with every client – face to face at a nice cafe (I love coffee), via email or phone. Whatever works for you! I want to know what's important to you and what your vision is throughout this exciting chapter in your life.
What should I wear?
I have a small selection of boutique maternity gowns and dresses for you to use. (Depending on the package) I will send you some inspirations and price guides to help you make your decision. Anything from a bump hugging dress to a sheer flowing in the wind gown is appropriate. {Professional airbrush makeup with lashes + hair styling can be added on to any package for an additional fee} Let's get creative and have a blast! You deserve to be pampered and treated liked a Goddess!
Can my family join the session?
Absolutely! While my main focus will be on the mama to be; significant others, children, and family pets (they're family too!) are welcome to be apart of your session. You can check out our family and children portfolio here.
