Welcome — You're Booked
Congratulations. This is one of the best parts of pregnancy to remember.
Everything you need to feel ready for your maternity session is right here. You don't have to read it all at once. Bookmark this page and come back as you have questions or as your session gets closer.
A few things to know upfront: this guide is built to take things off your plate, not add to them. You don't have to memorize anything. You don't have to do anything to prepare emotionally. The most important thing you can do is exactly what you're already doing. Take care of yourself.
If a question comes up that isn't answered here, just reply to your booking email anytime. No question is too small.
The Prep Guide
Here is everything you might want to know, broken into quick reads. Come back as often as you need to.
These guides cover the practical stuff. What to expect during your session, what to wear when you're at this stage of pregnancy, and how to prepare so the day feels easy. Read what feels useful and skip what doesn't. Nothing here is required reading.
Still Need Some Help?
Reply to your booking email anytime. Whether it's a specific outfit question, a worry about timing as you get closer to your due date, or something you can't quite put into words, I'd rather you ask than wonder. There's no such thing as a question that's too small, and I usually respond within a business day. You're not on your own here.

I won't take that away.

Almost every client comes in feeling some version of this, and the session is built around it. Posing handles a lot of what people worry about. You'll be guided in ways that flatter where your body is right now, not where you wish it was, and the photos almost always surprise people.

Not really. Their job is to be there and respond to what's happening. I'll prompt both of you with things to do, look at, or say to each other, and most of the strongest images come from those small moments. Partners often arrive nervous and leave saying it was easier than expected.

Let me know in advance and we'll plan around it. We can shorten the walking distance, choose a location that minimizes terrain, schedule for a time of day when you're feeling your best, or move the session to the studio. None of this is a problem. Telling me is the only thing that matters.
