Question 1

HOW MANY WEEKS PREGNANT DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR A MATERNITY PHOTO SHOOT?

Accepted Answer

It’s never too early to schedule your photoshoot. I suggest planning your maternity photo shoot between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. This timing allows you to showcase a beautiful round belly while still feeling relatively comfortable.

Question 2

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK MY PHOTOSHOOT?

Accepted Answer

As my calendar fills up quickly I advise contacting me as soon as you have completed your first trimester. I’m typically booking up 2 to 3 months in advance, so the sooner you contact me the better availability I may have. I do have last minute availability too due to rescheduling sometimes my newborn sessions.

Question 7

HOW DO I PREPARE FOR THE SESSION?

Accepted Answer

Please avoid wearing tight underwear and clothes on the day of the session to prevent any indentations on your skin. Consider getting a manicure and pedicure a day or two prior to your appointment.

Question 8

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR FOR MY SESSION?

Accepted Answer

Once you schedule your portrait session, I will provide you with helpful tips on what to bring and how to get ready. As a full-service studio, there’s no need to stress about bringing a lot of clothing options. If most of the images you envision are artistic nudes, we suggest bringing fewer garments.

I recommend including:

- A nude (skin-toned) strapless bra
- Nude thong underwear

Your session includes complete professional retouching, so you don't need to concern yourself with any imperfections like blemishes, stretch marks, or specific body shapes. I excel in thorough and detailed editing, transforming your images into stunning works of art.
