Hey there, lovely mamas-to-be! Today, let's dive into the wonderful world of maternity photography. Whether you're a first-time mom or adding to your growing family, capturing this special time is something you'll cherish forever but I know you must have a bazillion questions as you navigate the waters to find a photographer to capture this magical time. To give you a little help, I am going to share answers to some of the top questions I receive on the regular from someone just like you.


When is the Best Time for a Maternity Portrait Session?

Alright, so when's the sweet spot for showing off that beautiful bump? We generally recommend scheduling your session between weeks 28 and 32 of your pregnancy. That's when your belly is beautifully rounded, and you're hopefully still feeling pretty comfortable and energized.


Posing Ideas for Stunning Maternity Photos:

Now, onto the fun part—posing! Don't worry if you're not sure what to do with your hands or how to stand. We've got you covered! From gentle cradling poses to capturing those joyful belly laughs, we'll guide you through it all to ensure you look and feel amazing.


What to Wear for Your Maternity Photoshoot:

Let's talk wardrobe! You want to wear something that makes you feel like a million bucks, right? Flowy dresses that hug your bump or snug-fitting gowns that show off your curves tend to photograph beautifully. And don't be afraid to play with colors and textures—just keep it soft and flattering.


Maternity Photography Cost: What to Expect:

Budget is always on our minds, isn't it? Our maternity photography packages typically start at $2480. I price how I like to shop... I just want to know exactly what can expect to pay. I remove the guesswork... no layers of options, no sitting fee, and then you have to buy one of many packages. It's just a keep-it-simple purchase option. It includes all the little details, 20 professionally retouched images, the album... hair and makeup, access to my beautifully curated studio wardrobe, and the experience. No hidden costs unless you want to upgrade to all images or buy wall art. So whether it's a purchase from me or another photographer, maternity portraits are an investment... we call it legacy imagery. You will treasure your maternity portrait for a lifetime... and your child for generations.


And the tippy top Frequently Asked Questions:
  • When should I book it? Sooner rather than later, if you can! Our calendars tend to fill up pretty quickly, especially during peak seasons.
  • Can you pose me? Absolutely! We'll make sure you feel comfortable and confident throughout your session, even if posing isn't your thing.
  • Do you offer hair and makeup? You bet! We've got talented stylists ready to make you look and feel like the glowing goddess you are.
  • Can I bring my partner? Absolutely! Partners, kids, fur babies—everyone's welcome to join in on the fun and make this experience even more memorable.
  • Can't I Just Get the Digitals? Ah, the age-old question: why bother with prints when you can have all the digital files? While digital files are great for sharing and storing, they don't quite compare to the tangible experience of holding a physical print in your hands.
