What to expect maternity guide
Maternity sessions are a great way for you to document a special time in your life, this might be your first kid, or your fifth kid, either way maternity pictures are great.
How far along should I be to do my maternity session?
Typically I like to do maternity pictures between 6-8 months. The key is finding the perfect time for you where you look big enough that you look obviously pregnant, but not to big that you hate the way you look. Every woman is different and carries their baby different. Most first time moms have to do there maternity sessions when they are farther along to make sure they are showing enough. Keep in mind babies have a time clock of their own. I don’t suggest booking maternity sessions past 36 weeks, or we might miss them.
What do I wear?
If you are planning on showing your belly in some pictures I suggest wearing pre pregnancy jeans. Yes I know they typically no longer fit, and you cant button them up, that is okay I position your hands to cover that area, and your pictures look much better without a big panel rolled up, and typically they leave lines on your belly. I suggest wearing tighter fitting shirts or dresses that really show off your belly. You can wear looser clothes but it doesn’t show off your belly as well. If we are doing a indoor session I suggest bringing at least 1 all black shirt for you and your partner.
What should I bring?
I have maternity props, but I find that typically the ones that mean more to you are the ones you bring yourself. Ultrasound pictures are great, or those little shoes you just couldn’t resist purchasing.
Will my session be indoor or outdoors?
It is totally up to you. If you want to tread through a foot of snow to get that perfect winter wonderland maternity picture, I am up for it. If you want to do them all indoors I am more then happy to do that also.
Should I bring my other kids?
Yes, siblings are great for maternity pictures. Just bring something to distract them while we do the rest of the pictures so you are not stressed and trying to entertain them.
