Preparing for your session

Capturing the beauty and essence of pregnancy through s a maternity photoshoot can be a memorable experience. Let me capture this new chapter of your life.

I’m sharing my best tips to help you get the most out of your photo session and truly enjoy the experience. I want you to feel prepared, enjoy yourself and love your photos. Here are some tips on how to prepare in the days leading up to your session:

Pink desk surface with a white analog alarm clock, a pink binder clip, a black and white checkered pen, and a March calendar.

Schedule your session.

Schedule your maternity session between 28 and 32 weeks of pregnancy. During this time, your belly will have a nice round shape, and you are likely to feel more comfortable.

Rest well.

Get a good night’s sleep before your session to ensure you feel refreshed and energized.

Hydrate and eat.

Stay hydrated and eat a light meal before your session to keep your energy levels up.

Hair and Makeup

Consider having your hair and makeup professionally done to enhance your natural beauty. Keep your look natural and timeless. We do provide the option of hair and makeup services as an add-on.

No matter what comes up, give yourselves grace and flexibility. A relaxed parent can help set the tone for a great session. Even when days don’t go as planned, I am likely capturing glances and smiles you aren’t even seeing.
