Pregnancy is a beautiful and amazing experience, even if you don't feel beautiful or amazing. As a mother and maternity photographer, I know how to best photograph your growing and changing body. You might be nervous or apprehensive about stepping in front of the camera, but I promise you won't regret capturing this fleeting time.
I typically recommend scheduling your maternity session for when you are 32 - 36 weeks pregnant. This way you are big enough to look pregnant, but you hopefully haven't hit the uncomfortable stage yet.
I have photographed many moms 36 - 40 weeks so don't hesitate to reach out if you're farther along.
Maternity sessions are schedule for the last hour of the day to take advantage of the best lighting.
Choosing the perfect location for your family photographs can feel daunting.
After your session is booked I can send
you my guide with popular location options
that include past session examples. However, I am always open to new
locations and even have a few spots
I have been wanting to try if you're up for it!
During the busy season of September thru December it is highly recommended to book your session 6 - 8 weeks in advance. If you have very specific date requests even 3+ months is ideal. Other times of the year 2 - 4 weeks is a typical booking window to plan and prepare for your session. I will make every effort to accommodate late bookings when my schedule permits. Please don't hesitate to reach out.
To reserve your session date a signed portrait agreement and $75 reservation fee are collected. The reservation fee will be applied to your session fee.
Family sessions are scheduled for one
hour. I give kids time to get comfortable with me. This results in the genuine Most kids (and husbands)
get tired and over stimulated
after an hour. If you feel like your
family would like more time just
bring it up in the planning
process.
I believe in giving children ample time to get comfortable with me because that will yield the most genuine expressions and lead to a fun session for all. That’s why our sessions are never rushed. A typical family session lasts between 45 minutes and 1 hour. This allows children to acclimate to the environment and to me. They’ll have time to play, run around and, in between the fun, have their photo taken.
Your only responsibility will be to get yourself and family ready for picture day, a feat in and of itself! I will bring everything we need for the session. However, if there is a special item that you want included in your family photo session please let me know so we can include it. This could be a family quilt, a favorite stuffy, or anything else to
to personalize your session
Yes! Our dogs our part of our families and are more than welcome for full family sessions. Some locations are less than ideal for dogs so please let me know early in the planning process if you will be bringing them along.
