What should I wear?
I have a client closet filled with numerous amazing dresses, to help you look your best. You can see them all here. I am adding new pieces to the closet each year, so check in to see if there are any missing from the online gallery. I also recommend getting your nails, hair AND makeup done if you have the budget for it. You won’t regret getting pampered for this special event.
When should I book?
You can book as soon as you know you are expecting! You pay a deposit to hold your place, with the remainder due a few weeks prior to your photo session. Plan ahead to schedule your shoot when you are between 28-34 weeks pregnant. You want to have a belly that ‘pops’ but not be in the last 6 weeks when the body tends to get puffy. This also helps beat any babies that decide to come earlier than expected.
What undergarments should I wear for my shoot?
This question is HUGE, because some of my outfits are a tad see-through. Make sure you wear a NUDE COLOURED bra and underwear. Seamless pieces are nice, if you don’t like a thong, as they won’t show lines. If possible wear a strapless bra for the dresses that position off the shoulder. It will give you a better bust-line in your images. You can also wear a pretty lacy bra, if you want it to be exposed with some of the dress options.
Do you take nudes?
NO, I do not photograph nudes. I will however, capture a bare belly. There are a few dresses that will work for this, without showing everything.
Do you take posed images on a solid coloured backdrop?
Yes, this is an option, though most of my clients choose boho-lifestyle shoots. I have strobe lighting, with white, grey and mocha backdrops.
My most frequently asked question is:
Is there a Baby’s First Year package?
Yes! This is the Belly to Birthday Package. It includes 1 maternity session, 1 newborn session, 2 milestone sessions (4mths + 8 mths) and a cake smash and bath session. All for $1776! This is a savings of 20% off.
