Everything you need to know before booking your maternity session.


📅 1. Booking & Timing

When is the best time to schedule a maternity session?

We recommend planning your maternity session between 29 and 36 weeks. Every pregnancy is different, so it’s best to book before your due date approaches—just in case baby arrives early!


How early should I schedule my session?

It’s never too early to reach out! While we can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests, we suggest booking your session at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance, especially if you’re hoping for a weekend appointment, which tends to fill up quickly.


👗 2. What to Wear

Do you provide maternity dresses or fabrics?

Yes! We have a small wardrobe of three elegant maternity gowns available in white, purple, and teal. You’re also welcome to bring your own outfits if you have a specific look in mind.


What should I wear for my maternity session?

Wear something that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful—whether that’s your own maternity dress or one of our studio gowns. We’re happy to help guide your outfit choices during your consultation.


Do I have to be nude?

Not at all. Your comfort is our top priority. Some clients love artistic nude or wrapped styles, while others prefer to remain fully clothed. Every session is customized to your preferences—you decide what feels right for you.


🤍 3. Family & Personalization

Can my partner or child be in the photos?

Absolutely! Your partner and child are always welcome and encouraged to join. These sessions are a celebration of your growing family.


Can I request specific poses or recreate images from your portfolio?

Of course. You’re welcome to choose your favorite poses, lighting setups, or backdrops from our portfolio. You can also bring inspiration images or share your ideas with us in advance.


📸 4. During Your Session

This is my first professional photoshoot—will you guide me?

You’re in great hands! We’ll walk you through every step and gently guide you into flattering, natural poses. Our goal is to make sure you feel relaxed, empowered, and beautiful throughout the session.


✨ 5. Editing & Retouching

Should I worry about stretch marks, weight, or other imperfections?

Not at all. Every image is carefully and professionally retouched to enhance your natural beauty. We’ll take care of any blemishes, stretch marks, or areas you’re self-conscious about—so you can focus on feeling confident and radiant.


💬 Still have questions?

We’re here to make your maternity session a beautiful, empowering experience from start to finish. Feel free to reach out with any questions, outfit ideas, or requests—we’d love to hear from you!
