Maternity Session FAQ

How many weeks is ideal for a maternity session?

The ideal time for maternity portraits is between 29 and 35 weeks — when your bump is beautifully round, but you still feel comfortable posing.
Since timing can vary with every pregnancy, it’s never too early to book your session — many clients reserve their date around 15 weeks or earlier.

Where does the maternity session take place?

I offer several beautiful options for your maternity session, customized to your style:

• In-Studio: Fine art nude or luxury maternity portraits in my Brooklyn studio, using soft lighting, fabrics, and elegant styling.

• Outdoors: In a park, garden, or beach setting, if weather permits — timed for the golden hour, about two hours before sunset, for the most flattering natural light.

• In-Home: Lifestyle sessions in your bedroom or nursery, for a relaxed and personal feel.

During your consultation, we’ll discuss the best option to match your vision.

What does the maternity session experience include?

Every luxury maternity session includes:

• A pre-session consultation (by phone or email) to design your dream session

• Access to my curated wardrobe of gowns, fabrics, and accessories

• Professional hair and makeup artistry

• Expert posing and styling during your session

• Hand-edited, artistic retouching of your final images

• A private portrait viewing and ordering session to select your favorite images and products

How should I prepare for my maternity session?

Here are a few simple tips to help you prepare:

• Enjoy a manicure and pedicure a day or two beforehand for polished, photo-ready hands and feet.

• Wear comfortable shoes for outdoor locations — we’ll swap into beautiful barefoot or styled looks once we arrive.

• Bring water and snacks to stay comfortable during the session. You’ll feel pampered and relaxed — just come ready to enjoy this special moment!

What should I wear for my maternity session?

You’ll have full access to my wardrobe collection, featuring flowing gowns, draped fabrics, and stylish maternity pieces.
Pastel, neutral, and soft tones like cream, blush, beige, and soft pink photograph beautifully.
If you’d like to bring personal outfits or heirloom items, you’re very welcome!

Can my partner or child be in the pictures?

Of course!
Your partner and children are always welcome.
If you are bringing young children, I recommend bringing someone to help supervise them during individual portraits so the experience stays relaxed for everyone.
