Session Details
The ideal time for your maternity session is between 32 and 36 weeks of your pregnancy. That way you are showing nicely but not completely uncomfortable moving around while I pose you.
Maternity portrait sessions include a phone consultation, access to our maternity wardrobe, including an in-person wardrobe consult (should you desire), and an in-person Creation and Selection Session when your images are ready.
When returning for your Creation and Selection Session about a week or so after your photos are captured, I offer custom wall artwork such as gallery wraps, metal prints, and heritage wood creations, albums that are customized in coffee table format featuring your images elegantly designed, custom framing and many more portrait options to showcase images from your session. Digital collections are also available for purchase. I will help you choose the best products to complement your home, your style, and of course your budget.
