You are having a baby and have decided to look for a maternity photographer. I am so happy you have landed on my page to view my maternity and newborn portfolio and hope they give you some inspirations for your photo shoot ideas! I have included a few notes below that can guide you in the maternity and newborn session planning.  

But, first, I wanted to share a little preview of  a beautiful mom to be that came into the studio the other day. She was glowing and very beautiful for her photo shoot day. I cannot wait to meet her baby when she arrives!

What to expect and when to book  your maternity and newborn sessions. 

MATERNITY SESSIONS

When is the best time to book your maternity session?

The best time is in your third trimester. This is around the time when your belly “pops” and you have that round belly shape that is most ideal for photo shoots. All pregnancies are different, and you may show little earlier or little later.

It is ideal to book your photo shoot between 26 and 34 weeks. This would be around your 7th and 8th month of pregnancy. 

NEWBORN SESSIONS

Did you know it is best to book your newborn sessions early. Many moms book their session in their second trimester of pregnancy. It is best to do the session between 4 days old to 2 weeks of age. This is so your baby can be very sleepy and be able to do so many of those amazing and adorable newborn poses. To receive an online book on how to prepare for your newborn session and to view all the package options give me a call or message me. 

Moms and dads have many options to choose from for their baby boy or girl to use in the studio. There are many headbands, tiaras, ties, hats, outfits, to props for her little baby girl or boy to use for her photo shoot.
