Who to include in your maternity session?
Partner
Absolutely! 100% yes! Dads-to-be are just as excited about the new arrival and often get a little overlooked so yes bring him along.
We can include him in as many photos as you like.
A simple pale coloured shirt with shorts or trousers will compliment you perfectly and look great in the photos. Dads love the special time with you and the bump, sometimes they can get a bit forgotten.
Can I bring my other children?
Oh yes, of course, you can! I just love to capture the older children at maternity sessions.
They are super excited too about the arrival of their new brother or sister.
If we are going for an evening shoot then remember to get the little ones to have a nap in the afternoon so they make it into the evening.
What about pets?
Of course, pets are more than welcome and part of your family, we are delighted to include them in the session.
Family, Friends, In-laws
The more the merry, these are exciting times and we know everyone wants to be part of it and celebrate the new baby with you! We are very happy to include them all in the session
Before the Session
What should I wear for my maternity photos?
I advise mamas-to-be to consider floor-length gowns, dresses and skirts for maternity sessions. Longer lengths are elegant, feminine and romantic; they’re also ultra flattering when you’re expecting.
Whether you’re standing, sitting or lying down, a long dress or skirt ensures you’re fully covered, without worrying about your outfit riding up too high.
For lingerie images you don't have to worry about footwear as those images are taken usualy up to knee length.
I also favor longer lengths for expectant mamas because it’s easier to hide footwear you may not want visible in your images. If you’re at the point where only flip flops are bearable, don’t sweat it as long as your dress covers your feet!
When it comes to color choice, earth tones and light pastels photograph wonderfully no matter what location you select.
Remember to keep your clothing on the more fitted side, instead of extra flowy, so that you can easily show off your bump!
We also have a client closet you can browse through and borrow as many of our desses as you like.
Our dresses and acessories photograph beautifully and are provided to you at no extra cost to ensure you love your photos!

Hair, make up and nails
On the day or morning before, take some time to do your makeup, hair and nails.
Your hands will appear in the pictures and if your nails are not looked after they will be very noticeable and will ruin your pictures
What to bring
What accessories should I bring?
Bring whatever you feel important to you!
Popular picks are ultrasounds, baby shoes, baby clothes, flowers, post it and markers (so you can write on yourself or glue the posts it to you)

Final tips
Don’t worry about what you do or don’t have to do
Though some people are simply camera shy and feel uncomfortable with the idea of being in front of a camera, oftentimes they have expectations aren’t correct.
As a maternity photographer, I’m here to lend my experience, technical expertise, and knowledge of composition to help you get the best out of your maternity shoot.
However, you’re the one in charge of what you want and don’t want from your photos. From outfits to settings to poses to themes, you don’t have to be photographed in any way that you don’t want to.
Don’t be afraid to share any ideas you have and incorporate mementos.
Though the final say on what goes into a photo is always yours, that doesn’t mean that your maternity photographer we wont lend some insight and informed opinions.
If you have any ideas for settings, outfits, or photography styles that you want to try out, do feel free to let us know in advance.
If you already have some cute baby items such as shoes, toys, blankets, or ultrasound photos, bring them along as they make for adorable props. The same applies to your treasured family heirlooms. If you have a special locket or photo that you would like to use, bring it with you to the photo shoot.
Come to the maternity shoot feeling your best
I like to recommend that my clients think about arranging their shoot for the same day as a regular hair appointment. Few things make us feel as confident and as beautiful as getting freshly styled, and that confidence can shine through in the photography, helping you feel a lot more comfortable with the session and allowing you to really get into it.
An indulgent pamper session before the shoot can have much the same effect, as well. Whether it’s a manicure, a pedicure, or a session with your local makeup artist, do what you can to get you in the mood for feeling gorgeous.
Arrange a dinner date after the session
Your maternity photo shoot is an occasion worth celebrating. It’s a day dedicated to capturing a huge moment in any woman’s life and most of my clients will agree that it’s super fun, as well.
So, why not enjoy the rest of the day even more? Arranging a dinner date with a significant other, a sister, or your best friend can give you something extra to look forward to and to make the day feel extra special.
What’s more, if you’ve had your hair, nails, and makeup done specially for the day, you don’t want to let it go to waste, right? While you’re looking and feeling at your most beautiful, live it up in-town. You never know when you’re going to have the time for a nice, relaxing dinner out once the baby arrives, after all.
Just make sure you arrange the date for after the shoot and not before. You don’t want to arrive to the shoot feeling extra stuffed and sleepy after a good meal, right?
