What to Expect from Your Maternity Session

Maternity sessions are truly something special. They’re about celebrating the beauty of motherhood, the excitement of new beginnings, and the love that’s already blooming before baby even arrives. Whether it's your first baby or your fifth, this chapter of your story deserves to be documented in a way that feels natural, soft, and full of emotion.

Here’s everything you can expect when you book a maternity session with me—and a few tips to help you prepare!

⏳ When to Book

The sweet spot for maternity photos is typically between 28–34 weeks. By this point, your bump is beautifully round and prominent, but you’re still (hopefully) comfortable enough to move around and enjoy your session.

If you're expecting multiples or showing early, you may want to plan a bit sooner—just reach out and we’ll choose the best timing together. Booking in advance is always recommended, especially during peak seasons!

👗 What to Wear

Your outfit will help set the tone for your images—and I’m here to help every step of the way. I’ll provide styling guidance, mood boards, and even access to my client closet if you'd like! I recommend flowy dresses in soft, earthy tones—these photograph beautifully and allow for movement that adds magic to your images.

Neutral colors like cream, beige, dusty pinks, muted greens, or soft browns complement my warm editing style and the natural light we love to shoot in. Avoid super bright colors or bold patterns that might distract from your bump or the emotion we’re capturing.

And don’t forget shoes! I always say shoes make the look—a barefoot beach session, boots in a field, or strappy sandals in a garden can all help tie the whole vibe together.

💑 Including Partners and Siblings

While the focus is on you and that beautiful bump, I absolutely love including partners and siblings. These moments are as much about the love your family shares as they are about motherhood. Some of my favorite photos are snuggles between mom and dad or your older child resting their hand on your belly, excited to meet their new best friend.

Don’t worry—we’ll make it easy and fun for the whole family, with gentle guidance and movement-based posing that feels relaxed and authentic.

🤍 Soft Posing & Your Glow

My style is lifestyle-inspired and softly posed—meaning I’ll guide you into natural positions that look beautiful on camera while keeping the focus on emotion and connection. We’ll skip the stiff poses and instead focus on the in-between moments that truly tell your story.

From the way you cradle your belly to the loving glances with your partner, we’ll highlight that radiant maternity glow and all the love that’s already surrounding your baby.

✨ You’re Not Alone in the Process

I’m here to walk you through every step, from styling tips to location ideas to the final delivery of your gallery. I want this to be a stress-free and joyful experience for you. You’re doing something amazing—growing life—and you deserve to be celebrated and cared for.
