2024 Maternity Photography Session Guide
Why Maternity Pictures
This is such a special time in your life. For some it may be a long awaited celebration in welcoming a little one in your home. For some, I know like it feels like you’ve been pregnant FOREVER. But trust me, those months slip by and before you know it, you’re missing them in this weird way only a mother can know.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any professional pictures of myself while I was pregnant. It’s something I regret not having done. So that is why it something I provide for my clients; classic, timeless, dramatic pictures of you to have forever during this special time.
When to book your Maternity Session
This is one of the most common questions I get and the truth is that it kind of depends.
I typically suggest sometime between weeks 27-36. The longer you wait, the greater the chances are of you starting to feel uncomfortable. Babies also have this way of coming on their own time. So don’t wait too close to your due date, you may end up missing your chance by a baby coming early!
What to Wear
I suggest wearing a dark neutral colored form fitting dress. I know that oversized clothing is comfortable and maybe more your style, however with a form fitting outfit, we will be able to capture all your cute curves that we want to accentuate and showcase.
***I have been wanting to experiment with draping a sheer cloth which would require no clothing. If this is something you would be interested in doing, please reach out to me to discuss how to prepare!***
Who can Come to Your Maternity Session
You of course! But also, I encourage you to bring your significant other. This such a great way for you to document your family before things change forever! It can also be a special bonding experience for the two of you. You are also welcome to bring older siblings and incorporate them in a few pictures.
