How to Prepare for Your Maternity Photos

One of the best ways to celebrate a pregnancy is to get gorgeous maternity photos taken! If you’ve never had a maternity session before, you may not know what to expect or how to prepare. We have put together a guide to help answer all of your questions to make the most of your session and ensure a fun and beautiful session.

Poses and Styling

Every mom is different, and we aim to make sure you feel beautiful and comfortable throughout the session. You can let us know which poses and outfits you like, and how much skin you’d like to show. We have a client closet of many styles, and you are also welcome to share some outfits from home you may also want to incorporate.

What Should I Bring to the Session?

We love to mix simple and minimalistic styles with high fashion styles. A pair of jeans and a simple cropped top/bandeau look amazing together. You can also throw on an open button-down shirt to change the look. We have a collection of dresses, draping fabrics, and bodysuits that we can add for a fancier touch.

Please bring the following items to your maternity session: (Please do not worry if you don’t have all of these items!)

Hair and Makeup

If you really want to complete your experience, professional hair and makeup is the way to go. If you’d like to do your own makeup, consider making it a bit heavier than you normally do, so it shows up well in photos.

The Day Of

Make sure you eat breakfast and/or lunch before your session, and drink plenty of water so you feel your best. We also have some snacks and drinks at the studio! We will take care of the rest and ensure you have beautiful maternity photos!
