The last step before your consultation call is to complete the maternity session questionnaire by clicking the button below and then we will be ready to have a quick phone consultation to finalize any details and I’ll answer any additional questions you my have.
BEFORE YOUR SESSION
Your session includes images of you and you're also welcome to bring your family ( partner & children ). Feel free to bring extra items for them if your undecided which shirt or pants they will wear. If bringing children we will do all looks with them first. For partners & husbands, I recommend including them in 2 looks, but if you want them in more that is ok also. Many clients choose both a dressy and casual look for them and their partners.
TIPS
Pack up anything you would like to bring to your session ( shoes, jewelry, outfits, etc) and put them in the car the night prior.
Remove any hair ties from your wrists, take off any jewelry you don’t want photographed.
AFTER YOUR SESSION
After your session is over we will finalize your collection choice. This is when you will purchase your package unless choosing a zoom or in person reveal. You can view images and videos of artwork on my IG page, and you will also be able to see everything at the studio. You can view our framed prints below. Our 3 most popular artwork pieces are framed prints, albums, and linen portrait boxes.
MATERNITY SESSION PLANNING GUIDE
WHAT TO BRING To your upcoming maternity photoshoot
essentials
We recommend bringing a pair of nude string thong underwear and a strapless nude bra - these will be perfect for certain set ups with fabrics. This is needed for almost every session I do. And, if you have any other beautiful garments that you feel gorgeous in, please feel free to bring them. However, if your goal is to capture natural portraits or semi-nude images with fabrics, or if you plan to use our studio clothing, don’t worry about bringing anything else. Just remember to pick a supportive strapless bra and nude string thong for best results.
for your partner
For your partner, we recommend choosing clothing that matches the style of your couples portraits. During your pre session consultation, we’ll discuss what this might entail. If your going for a casual look, some fitted jeans and t-shirts or dress shirts in dark or light tones will do the trick. For a more formal look, opt for a button-down shirt, suit, pants and shoes.
boyfriend jeans
For a casual yet chic look, try non-maternity boyfriend jeans. They’re comfortable and stylish, and pair well with any top. Some clients like to bring a Calvin Klein bra to go with the jeans
Avoid maternity jeans, which can be unflattering in images
HOW TO PREPARE
Please follow these tips before your session
01. I will send you a message from my hair & makeup team on how to prepare the face and skin for your session.
02. Treat yourself to a mani/pedi a day or two before your session. Go for natural or pastel shades to keep it classy.
03. Keep it natural and avoid any spray tans, excessive bronzers and shimmery products. Trust us, your natural glow is all your need.
04. Avoid tight underwear to prevent any unwanted body marks on the day of your session. Opt for loose clothing to ensure comfort and ease.
05. Avoid wearing perfume or scented body lotions for your session as the scents are hard to get out of the fabrics
