When do you do the maternity session?

I highly suggest doing maternity sessions when you're 31-33 weeks. Because it's the best time to show that nice and big baby bump while still being able to move, pose and change into multiple outfits.


When is the best time to book maternity?

The best time to book your maternity session is in the First or Second trimester. It is never too early, in my opinion. Due to high demand, I usually book 2-3 months in advance. Even if you think it's too late to book, it never hurts to reach out. Sometimes I have unexpected openings. I also only accept a limited number of clients per month to ensure everyone gets the experience they deserve.


Do you do in-studio or outdoor maternity sessions /

I do both in-studio and outdoor sessions. I know a few amazing and secret locations, if that's what you like. We can go discuss those during your phone-consultation after the booking is made.

I do up to 5 different outfits in one maternity session and multiple backdrops. This doesn't include the outdoors.

On the day of your Maternity Sessions

This day is all about celebrating you and your family. Spouse and children are welcome to be part of the session. We will start with choosing dresses while you get your hair and makeup done. The session may take up to 2 hours or longer if you opt for both indoor and outdoor sessions.

What is the reveal and ordering Session?

I will present you with a slideshow with all the final images. This is my most favorite part; I love watching the biggest smiles and blushing faces of my clients while watching the reveal videos. We specialize in wall art, digital images, and keepsake packages; you can choose your favorite product to showcase your photos. I will professionally help you to determine the perfect art for your beautiful homes.
