Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most exciting milestones. As a photographer specializing in maternity and newborn portraits, I know how important it is to capture these fleeting moments beautifully and stress-free. Here’s how to make the most of your session:
1. Timing Is Everything
- Maternity: The best time for maternity portraits is between 28–32 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round but you’re still comfortable.
- Newborn: Schedule your newborn session as soon as possible, to ensure a session within the first 5–14 days after birth, for those sleepy, curled-up poses.
2. Wardrobe & Styling
I offer a curated client wardrobe with elegant gowns for maternity and sweet outfits for newborns. During your style consultation, we’ll plan looks that flatter you and reflect your personal style and plan outfits for the entire family.
3. Hair & Makeup
Professional hair and makeup are included in every session, so you’ll look and feel your best. Arrive with a clean, moisturized face and clean, dry hair, my team will take care of the rest.
4. What to Bring
- For maternity: Special jewelry, heirlooms, or accessories you love. Spanx are wonderful for creating a nice seamless look with selected maternity gowns. Neutral (white, black and/or tan) undergarments to wear under the gowns.
- For newborns: Extra diapers, a pacifier (even if baby doesn’t usually use one), and any sentimental items you’d like included.
5. Relax & Enjoy the Experience
My studio is designed for comfort, with refreshments, music, and a calm atmosphere. My goal is for you to feel pampered and confident from start to finish.
