Maternity & Newborn Photography FAQs


When should I book my maternity 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. After booking, please message us so we can prebook your newborn session.


When should I book a newborn photoshoot?


Newborn portraits are best pre-scheduled. Choose a date 7-14 days after your due date. This ensures your session is within the best window of time and can be rescheduled if needed.


What do I need to prepare for my maternity photoshoot?


Maternity sessions are up to one hour and include several poses and backdrop changes. You're welcome to bring along anything you'd like to photograph in. However, you don't need to. We provide a variety of maternity dresses and outfits to choose from. Custom hair and makeup artists may be added if desired.


Can my partner and children be in the photos?


Yes! Your immediate family is welcome to be in the photos. This is a special time for the entire family.


How much do maternity portraits cost?


Quality professional photography is considered an investment in your family's art. Prices range depending on your photographic needs.
