Session Guide

We’re excited to welcome you for your maternity session! To ensure everything goes smoothly and you look your best, please follow this preparation guide:

When to Schedule?

Maternity sessions are most effective when scheduled between 28-32 weeks of pregnancy. This timing allows for a beautifully rounded baby bump while avoiding the fluid retention that can occur later, especially in the face and hands.

Interestingly, by week 32, blood circulation in your body increases by 50%, which can lead to more fluid retention as your body adjusts to support this additional volume. Choosing to photograph your pregnancy within that 28-32 week window will help us capture you at your most radiant!

Client Wardrobe Access

Included in your session fee is access to our extensive client wardrobe. We offer a variety of beautiful bodysuits, gowns, robes, and silks for draping and tossing, allowing you to choose the perfect outfits for your shoot.

Pre-Session Pampering

In the days leading up to your session, consider treating yourself to a fresh manicure and pedicure. While natural nails are perfectly acceptable, please ensure that you do not have any chipped polish, as your hands and nails will be prominently featured in the photographs.

Day of the Session

On the day of your session, please arrive at the studio with a clean, moisturized face and dry hair prepped for styling. You will start with a consultation with our professional hair and makeup artist, who will help you create a custom look tailored to your style. Please allow about an hour for hair and makeup, with slightly more time for longer or thicker hair.

After you approve your hair and makeup, we will begin the photo session, which will last approximately 90 minutes. To ensure we have ample time for everything, please block off about 3.5 hours from your schedule. This allows us the flexibility to take breaks for snacks or restroom visits. Staying hydrated is essential, so please remember to drink plenty of water, and don't skip breakfast! We will have a stocked fridge with bottled water and light snacks available, but feel free to bring your own as well.
