We believe in quality over quantity, ensuring that each client receives an exceptional level of service and walks away with photographs that capture their unique story with authenticity and beauty.
When and Where?
When to book your maternity photo session? The best time for your maternity session is around 28-34 weeks: your belly is full and round, but you are still comfortable to pose. For expecting mamas with twins (or more), come in earlier around 26 – 32 weeks since twins tend to arrive earlier. I have had a maternity photo shoots close to delivery day with beautiful results, but I would rather have clients towards the earlier side, where mamas-to-be are feeling their best. However, it is completely up to you at what stage you would like your maternity photos taken.
Studio
Advantage: convenience and control, no dependence on a weather and time of the day. Couture maternity dresses are available on a spot
Professional make up and hair stylist on set
So you feel confident and beautiful during your session!
Outdoor
Advantage: the pure beauty of a pregnant woman in an outdoor background is simply amazing! It is something about a mother bringing a new life into the world; and Mother Nature is a super powerful one.
Disadvantages: weather-dependent and shooting hours are limited to the golden hour of sunrise or sunset (to avoid harsh shadows). Reschedules can happen and may trigger the rescheduling of other related appointments (professional makeup and hair artist and etc). Be prepared to walk/hike to the location and change outfits outdoors.
