Maternity Session

Packages starting at $400

Our Maternity session includes dresses, we have over 200+ dresses to choose from. A Full 60 minute Maternity Session the average person can get through 3 looks (each dress will have its own look/colored background for in studio sessions). Along with dresses, we have the concept fabric swing, wings, and fabric draping. We recommend wearing neutral color (browns, creams, etc..) undergarments and strapless bras. Some of our dresses have bras built in. If you need help with this we can always send you links to the most popular undergarments we see. We do not provide makeup or hair styling. We do not provide undergarments.

Spouses and children are welcome to join at no extra charge. We do have some sets that children are not allowed, this is due to the amount of equipment that is out and cords running. During booking you will actually be able to choose whether you want to be the star of the show (more photos of you alone) or if you want family style (more photos with spouse and children and no or little alone).

Best time to come in is between 28 to 32 weeks. At this time, the belly is typically at its roundness before it begins to drop.

For in studio sessions, you will also decide what type of lighting you like. We have classic (bright, evenly lite) or editorial (darker, has more depth and shadows).

All Completed 60min and 2 hour Maternity Sessions receive $50 off a Full Newborn Session.

All packages include the following edits:

• Background extended and cleaned.

• Removal of temporary skin blemishes (acne, stretch marks).

• Removal of double chin where possible.

• Color corrected.

What happens during my session? I will help dress you, pose you and partner. I will take care of you from start to finish. 99% of the moms that come to me have no idea how to pose, so no worries that's why I am here. I have extensive training on posing for every body type along with couple and family poses. If I see something out of place, I will run up to you and fix it. I am a little OCD about this part of the session. EVERYONE gets lumps and bumps from bras and underwear under our tight fitted dresses. No worries, during editing I pull and tuck where I need to, to get rid of those bumps or lines left from the underwear.

The best time to come in is during 28 to 32 weeks. The belly is typically the roundest at this time. We do not recommend coming in, past 37 weeks. After 37 weeks, we can not safely place you in the swing or on the floor.

Free skin editing is included in package pricing. I will remove stretch marks, bruises, scars, lumps, bumps, acne, etc.. The way we do skin edits, is we clean up the skin but still leave it looking like you (it will look like your best skin day). During booking you will choose if you would like skin editing or not.

An extra editing fee of $25 per image only applies if Mom decides to wear neon colored undergarments and wants the color changed to match or wears solid bra straps (not clear) and wants the straps removed. This fee also applies to any images where you would like the clothing changed. For example, Dad comes in with Purple Pants and you want the pants to be black or to have a logo removed.

After booking you will receive several emails. One email will tell you where and how to pick the dresses you would like to use. The second email will be all the tips to prepare you for the session. Please read these.

All Sessions require a retainer while booking. All retainers are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Newborn Session - (7 days to 21 days) 

up to 2 hours — $450

If your baby has not been born, click here to reserve your due date -->>> Newborn Session

Newborn sessions are designed for babies from 7 to 21 days old.

Most Newborn Sessions are done on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 11am, because most newborns tend to party all night and are usually sleepy at this time. In our experience if you want sleepy pictures we have a better chance to get those in the morning.

I offer Newborn sessions in the studio only. Newborn sessions are typically done during the week. This is to ensure; our studio is sanitized before and after every newborn session. All outfits and wraps are washed. All props and other equipment are wiped down with Lysol/Clorox wipes. Headbands are sprayed with Lysol disinfectant.

During your shoot, I will have the pre chosen sets made. I have a wide range of clothing, wraps and costumes for the baby and you can choose those upon arrival of your session. A typical session includes 7 different set ups, 3 with clothing outfits and 4 wraps.

Then we will finish the session with a mini family session at the end. Please note that if the baby is extra fussy, we may not be able to complete all set ups to ensure we are able to complete family pictures.

Newborn Session Includes:

• up to 2 hours depending on the baby

• 15 Downloadable Digital Images of your choice with the option to purchase more. (typical gallery has about 50-100 images to choose from)

• Usage of large selection of clothing, wraps and props for baby.

• Usage of diapers, wipes and other personal care items.

• Private Studio

• Retouching of baby's skin (Baby's skin is only edited about 80% to ensure baby doesn't look plastic)

• Photos with Family and Sibling with baby

• Guided Family and sibling poses with baby

• Prints sold separately.

• Private client gallery of final selected images, valid for 3 months.

We do recommend coming in within the first 14 days. During this time, the babies tend to tolerate more positions, can be easily settled and put back to sleep. If the baby is awake we will continue the session as safely as possible.

Please be advised that not all babies will tolerate all the poses. Most babies over 14 days old tend to be awake throughout their session and do not tolerate many of the poses. After 14days we will not complete any poses with chin on hands or the froggy pose where they are bent in half. We will NEVER force a baby into a position they do not like or tolerate.

Please note not all themes are available as the baby gets older due to safety.

What happens after your session?
