FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO HAVE A PREGNANCY PHOTO SHOOT?
The best time for a maternity session is between 27-35 weeks of pregnancy. The right time is different for every woman and I recommend not to wait for too long because you can never know when the baby will actually come.
MAY I BRING MY SPOUSE / MY OTHER KIDS WITH ME?
Of course! Your significant other is welcome to join you during the session. If you have older kids, I am happy to take family pictures to celebrate this special moment in your family’s life.
EXTRA WEIGHT AND SKIN IMPERFECTIONS
My goal is for you to feel the most beautiful you've ever felt in your life. That is why you don’t have to worry about any of those things. Professional photo retouching is included in your session. I specialize in the most comprehensive and detailed editing, and while I focus on creating a natural look I will edit your photos to your liking.
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME POSING FOR A PROFESSIONAL PHOTO SHOOT
I will guide you through every step of the process, showing you how to pose in a way to flatter your new curves so that you look at your best. Even if this is your first time on set, I will make sure you feel comfortable and at ease.
DO I HAVE TO BE NUDE?
Not at all. All of my maternity sessions are customized and tailored to the needs of each client. Some clients prefer clean and simple artistic nude photographs and wraps, while others prefer to be fully clothed.
WHEN WILL MY IMAGES BE READY? Your final online gallery will be ready between 2 and 3 weeks after your session.
