Pregnancy: It's beautiful and hard.
When considering a timeframe for your maternity session, I want you to take your body in consideration. Let's be honest for just a minute. Eventually, you're going to be uncomfortable; you're going to feel like none of your clothes fit, you're going to prefer staying at home in comfy clothes. Don't wait until this point to book your maternity session! Instead, plan ahead and schedule your maternity session during a time when you are feeling your best. Embrace the beauty and glow of your pregnancy by capturing those special moments before you reach the stage of feeling too uncomfortable. By booking your session earlier, you can choose a date that works best for you, ensuring you feel confident and at ease during the photo shoot. Remember, this is a special time in your life, and you deserve to celebrate and cherish it through beautiful maternity photos that you can look back on with joy and pride.
When to book?
Capturing the beauty of your pregnancy through professional photography can be a wonderful way to preserve these precious moments. It's important to remember that every pregnancy is unique, and what works for one mom may not work for another, especially in cases of high-risk pregnancies or multiples. As you enter your second trimester and start considering a maternity photoshoot, don't hesitate to reach out to a photographer whose work you truly admire. By contacting them early and securing a spot in their schedule, you can ensure that you have the opportunity to create stunning and meaningful images that you will cherish for a lifetime. Many photographers will book you in the 28-34 weeks range, earlier for multiples and high-risk situations.

What to wear?
I always recommend checking out my Client Closet! I have a variety of dresses and gowns perfect for your maternity session. My client closet contains a variety of colors and sizes from XS-3X. If you're interested in a session that is more causal, let me know. I am always down to mix things up.
Don't forget
Don't forget to ask your photographer about 'First Year" Packages. It's a way to get all the milestones in the first year, build a relationship with your photographer, and make sure all your photos are consistent.
Get in Your Self Care
Don’t forget to think about your nails, hair, and makeup. Now is the time to treat yourself. You want to look and feel your best in your photos, and professional makeup and hair are a small way to elevate your look. Consider scheduling a fresh manicure before your maternity photo shoot because your photographer will take close-up photos of your hands, and nothing distracts more from a baby bump than chipped nail polish.
