When should I schedule my maternity session?
I recommend scheduling around 29 ish weeks and up! You want to have a nice round belly that is pronounced! Just don't wait until you are too close to your due date, because you may have trouble standing long periods/poses may become uncomfortable & I don't want you to be miserable!

Can I bring my spouse and/or my kids?
Of course! I encourage bringing the whole family along! We can get some really sweet shots of siblings hugging mom's belly, or dad kissing mom's belly that make awesome memories. I will still do solo shots of just you as well, so there will be a variety of poses/groupings within your gallery.

What should I wear?
As far as coordination and colors go, you can check out the What to Wear page & my Pinterest board! But I do recommend at least one form fitting (around the belly) dress! I just love the way it hugs the belly and shows it off elegantly with a dress. An optional flowy dress, or more casual outfit is recommended if you want a second outfit!

Do you recommend Studio or outdoor?
I really do love both. Studio offers a clean, consistent, and simple look. Outdoor offers different scenery, lighting, & more pose variation. If I HAD to choose, I love a good sunset session outdoor with golden glow light as the sun sets. If you have children, this could be better for them as well. Sometimes younger kids don't do well cooped up in the studio! The pros to indoor, is that the temperature is controlled, less walking, and the session usually goes faster/more seamless. I can help weigh options with you, just let me know!

I don't feel my "best" or really want to be in front of the camera, but I do want to document this moment, how can I navigate that while working with you?

I will help you feel comfortable and confident. I promise I won't leave you to figure out what to do on your own, I guide you through poses and prompts that bring out authentic emotions. My job is to make you feel beautiful and help you relax so your glow shines through!!​

Should I bring any props?
I do LOVE when clients bring special items to include in their sessions. My favorites are ultrasound photos, a favorite onesie, baby shoes, or anything of that nature. Ask me advice if you'd like and I will help you choose!
