FAQ
When should I book my maternity photography photoshoot?
Maternity portraits are best scheduled within 27 to 35 weeks. Choose a date when you feel your belly will be big and beautiful, but you're still comfortable enough to move around and change your wardrobe.
What is a Creative Session Fee?
Your session fee reserves your date and includes everything needed to create an incredible portrait experience.
- Pre-session planning consultation
- Wardrobe guidance
- Your custom portrait session
- Professional hand editing of your images
- Your personalized design and ordering appointment
Portraits and digital images are purchased separately after your viewing appointment so you only invest in the artwork you truly love.
How much are digital files and portraits?
Portrait collections, digital files, wall art, albums, and gift prints are purchased separately from your Creative Session Fee, with collections beginning at $550.
You'll have the opportunity to view your beautifully finished portraits before making any decisions, so there's no need to choose a collection in advance. During your personal View & Order appointment, I'll help you select the images and artwork you love most, whether you're looking for digital files, framed wall art, an heirloom album, or a combination of products.

Do you have a client wardrobe?
Yes! For studio sessions, you'll have access to my curated client wardrobe, featuring elegant maternity gowns, luxurious draping fabrics, and styling pieces designed to create timeless, artistic portraits. I'll also help you coordinate your family's clothing to ensure every image feels cohesive and beautifully styled.
Is hair and makeup included?
Hair and makeup can be added to your photo shoot. I recommend two talented professional makeup artists who can come to your home or meet you at the studio before your session:

Why are outdoor sessions only available in the evening?
Outdoor sessions are scheduled during the hour before sunset, often referred to as the golden hour. This is when the light is soft, warm, and most flattering, creating the beautiful glow and timeless look you see throughout my portfolio.
Photographing during golden hour also helps us avoid the harsh midday sun, strong shadows, and squinting that can occur earlier in the day. The result is more natural expressions, beautiful skin tones, and elegant, light-filled portraits you'll love for years to come.
Do you offer weekends?
Yes, limited weekend appointments are available upon request for an additional fee. To maintain a healthy work-life balance, I reserve most weekends for my family, so weekend availability is limited and tends to book well in advance.
Whenever possible, I recommend scheduling your session on a weekday. Weekday sessions are typically more relaxed, with fewer crowds at popular locations, less competition with other photographers, and a quieter atmosphere that allows us to create beautiful, uninterrupted portraits.
"Booking with Amy was such an incredible experience from beginning to end! I’m not one who feels particularly comfortable in front of a camera, but Amy made this such an enjoyable experience.
I wasn't Sure whether I was going to take maternity photos, but I’m so glad I went with Amy. She captured so many great pictures I will cherish forever."
