Congratulations on your pregnancy and thanks for stopping by. You know when I had my kids maternity photography wasn't even a thing, my friends and I just had images taken in the lounge room before heading off to the hospital or the delivery room like my first pregnancy! Boy, what I wouldn't do to have some professional portraits to treasure from this time. The good news is - You can! and I've never had a client regret capturing this time.
I get it, you're a little shy, feel like a baby elephant some days and you probably haven't seen your toes in a while but I can guarantee your session will be fun. I will guide you so you will have natural images to cherish. Plus I edit your images by hand myself to add a little retouching magic to have you looking gorgeous.
I have put together the following frequently asked questions so that you know what to expect during your maternity photography session.
FAQ
When should I schedule my maternity session?
Maternity sessions are best done between 30-36 weeks of your pregnancy. The timing just depends on how round your belly is and how round you would like to be in your photographs, I can guide you based on your sizing. I find most clients see me when they are 34-36 weeks pregnant. If you are having twins/multiples then I recommend around 28-30 weeks. I can photograph you at anytime during your pregnancy upto 38 weeks. Please contact us as soon as possible to book your maternity session.
What do I wear?
I have a selection of maternity dresses and drapes in various colours and sizing to help style your session. I have sizes ranging from small to extra large. Of coarse it is always a good idea to bring your your own clothing too. I invite all of my clients to visit the studio for their pre shoot consultation where we can discuss what to wear further.
What is a pre shoot consultation?
I invite all of my clients to book a pre shoot consultation at my studio. We can discuss locations, what to wear, pricing and answer any questions you may have in person. You will also have the opportunity to try on maternity dresses from my client wardrobe. This way you can feel comfortable in you choice of maternity dress. Pre shoot consultations are by appointment only and are subject to availability.
Do you work on the weekends?
Yes I work every other weekend/two weekends a month. To avoid dissapointment please contact me as soon as you are in your second trimester as weekend sessions are subject to availability and weekend spaces do fill very quickly. Complimentary maternity sessions are strictly held Monday-Thursday. If you are interested in a complimentary maternity session please contact me as I only offer a limited number.
How much does it cost?
There is a session fee of $350 which includes your session + 5 digital images. The session fee secures the date of your maternity session and covers the following
Where will my maternity session be held?
You have the choice of choosing outdoor locations based on the backdrop you love. This can be beach, lake or park.
How long will the session last?
Maternity sessions take approx 1 hour. The time of day depends on the location and availablility. Golden hour is the best time of day for your maternity photography session. This is the hour or two before sunset. If you are not available for Golden hour then I would suggest a morning park session.
Can my partner & children be a part of the session?
Yes, I encourage your partner & children to be involved. Its a great way to get to get everyone involved in this exciting time in you life, and just between you and me it's also a great way for us to get to know each other better before your newborn session.
Can my pet dog be a part of the session?
Yes, some of my clients send “Rex” off to the pet parlour the day of the session so they are nice and fluffy for the photographs.
How do I book?
Simply send me an email saying "I would Love to Book" or "I have a question".
