Why You Should Book A Maternity Session and Maternity FAQ

Why You Should Book A Maternity Session:

Nine months goes by so quickly, trust me. I know from my own mommy experience. Back when I was pregnant, there was really no such thing as real maternity photos. I can dig out a couple, but that is it. Oh, how I wish I had more taken and had an actual maternity session.

Let me convince you why you need this session done.

• You will want to look back on yourself carrying your blessing. Your body is so strong and accomplished a lot in a small time frame.
• Your child will ask to see these photographs of you pregnant with them. When you show them, you will love watching their sweet expressions come across their faces.
• Spoil yourself. You look wonderful. Have your hair and makeup done and feel how beautiful being pregnant really is. Your body is telling a story right now, and you should capture it.
• Sometimes, it is hard to remember pregnancy. Some pregnant women are sick most of the time, some are exhausted, all while the months are counting down. You will want to look back and see just how incredible you truly are.

I know you might be on the fence about booking a session. It might be the last thing on your mind right now with preparing for a big arrival. I get it, I really do. This is a beautiful time in your life that you will want to remember!

Maternity FAQ

When should I schedule maternity photos?
As a general rule of thumb, I like to schedule your maternity session shortly after you’ve told friends and family the exciting news! This will give us plenty of time to find a great day that works well for both of us, plan your session, etc. Maternity photos are typically taken when you’re showing — generally around 30 to 36 weeks into your pregnancy.
How many outfits should I bring to my maternity session?
We will discuss outfits and I will wardrobe style you before your session! Two to four outfits for your maternity session is a good number. I like to always have at least two for variety’s sake, but whether you want to wear more than that is up to you. I always recommend bringing a backup outfit or two just in case you’re not “feeling” the outfit you’d planned to wear.
What should I consider when planning maternity outfits?
My biggest piece of advice is to wear something you feel both comfortable and beautiful in. My second piece of advice is for you to choose something that showcases your baby bump.
Where do we take the photographs?
This is something else we will discuss and plan during your consultation! Where we take photographs depends on the feel you want for your session. Ideally, I like to do on-location, outdoor photographs that let us maximize our access to natural light. This can be in a beautiful pasture, quaint park, in the woods or even in urban settings. You can also opt to have your maternity session done in your home or in a studio.
Can my partner or child be in the photographs, too?
Of course! I love incorporating mom, dad and your other children into our session photos. While in most cases you and dad will be the stars of the day, I believe it’s so important to have several photographs with the entire family.
