Maternity Session | What to Expect

PREPARING FOR YOUR MATERNITY SESSION

♥♥♥

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!  I am honored that you have chosen me to be a part of this momentous time in your life.  Here are few tips on how to prepare and what to expect during your Maternity Session.

Clothing
  • The maternity closet is available to all of my moms.  From a classy black gown to an intimate lace cover-up, I am positive you will look and feel beautiful.
  • If you’d prefer to bring your own attire…you are welcome to do so. Please let me know so I may plan accordingly.
  • Maternity Gown Vendors, in no particular order
  • Here is link to my vendor if you’d prefer to purchase your own gown.  Includes 15% off your purchase Sew Trendy Maternity Gowns
  • Please press/iron ALL items of clothing prior to you session.
  • Nudity (Studio Only):  Per clients preference.  All parts will be covered and client will be tastefully positioned so as to enhance the body’s natural beauty and curves in its pregnant state.
  • DADS:  Neutral colors.  A nice button down or a crew neck t-shirt is all you need.  Want to get dressy?  Bring a suit.  Feeling good in your own skin?  Take that shirt off!  Skin to skin portraits are beautiful and there is something very romantic about a man’s arms wrapped around his beautiful pregnant wife.

Make it a day of beauty… Get your hair done!  Get your makeup done too if you’d like! Here are a few makeup artists I highly recommend. Once your session is confirmed please contact them directly to arrange an appointment.
