Maternity sessions are an opportunity to capture your family as they anticipates the arrival of your precious baby. These photographs will serve as some of the first memories of your child to be cherished and shared with family and friends. If this is your second baby, this session is a great opportunity to not only include the parents, but the other children as well.

​

I seek to capture authentic and beautiful moments by taking the time to get to know each family in order to allow the them to relax and have fun during the photo session! We will choose a location that best fits your personalities and discuss your vision for the photographs. This insight will allow me to capture the excitement and love you have for your child and each other. 

​

I recommend no more than one outfit per half hour of shooting time. This prevents too much of your time being taken up by wardrobe changes. Here are some tips for picking out your wardrobe:

1. Plan your outfits ahead of time.

2. Pick clothes you are comfortable in and match your personality.

3. Pick outfits you feel great in. Many couples opt for one fancy outfit and one casual.

4. Coordinate your outfits with the level of formality and color palette, but don't be matchy-matchy. 

   1. ​Ladies, wear a color that compliments your skin tone nicely, paired with neutral colors. 

   2. Consider adding a color pop with a statement piece to layer and accessorize, such as a necklace, scarf, or shoes.

   3. Men, compliment that color. Tuck in your shirt and wear a belt.

5. ​Dresses and skirts flatter the female body

   1. Dresses should have a built-in waist or belt. 

   2. Dresses/skirts with flow and movement the dress looks good on-camera, especially maxi dresses. 

   3. Or, show off your belly and curves with a body con dress if you are comfortable.

6. ​Match the location and season.

7. Solids colors are great, or prints are okay if they are not busy or too small. Avoid graphics and logos.

8. Avoid too much contrast on top and bottom.

9. Avoid wrinkles and bring clothes on a hanger. 

10. Don't wear your hair in a slick ponytail.

I look forward to helping you capture these special moments!
