Common Questions

Everything you need to know before booking.

When should I book my maternity session?

+

The best time for a maternity session is around 32–36 weeks of pregnancy. At this point, you have a beautiful bump and still feel comfortable during the session. We recommend booking early though — ideally by 20 weeks — to ensure we have your preferred date.

What should I wear for the maternity session?

+

Soft, flowing fabrics work beautifully — think silky dresses, draped fabrics, or loose, elegant clothing. Neutral tones like cream, gray, blush, and sage photograph wonderfully. After booking, I'll send a detailed styling guide with outfit inspiration to help you feel confident and beautiful.

How do newborn sessions work?

+

Newborn sessions are gentle and patient. I work slowly to capture your baby at rest and awake, as well as candid moments with you and your family. Sessions typically last 2–3 hours to allow time for feeding, soothing, and those precious first moments. Your home is the perfect location for comfort and intimacy.

When is the newborn session scheduled?

+

The ideal window for newborn photography is within the first 5–14 days after birth, when babies are sleepiest and most curled up. However, sessions can work beautifully up to 4 weeks old. We'll schedule this together after your baby arrives — just reach out when you're ready.

Can my older children be in the newborn photos?

+

Absolutely. I love capturing big siblings meeting their new brother or sister for the first time. These moments are priceless. Just let me know ahead of time so we can plan the session to include special moments with your whole family.
