What if I have nothing to wear for my Maternity Session?
I have everything covered with a Mother's gown collection which includes 18 different dresses you can choose to wear during your session. This also allows you to have a couple of wardrobe changes during your session for more variety. You can also wear these dressing during your mother and baby and family photos in your newborn session. Many Mums choose to wear the same dress in maternity and then with their baby in your newborn session.
When should I book my Maternity and newborn sessions?
As a photographer of 12 years' experience I encourage you to book in advance & contact me between 18–24 weeks.
Maternity sessions are best scheduled between 32–36 weeks as this is the most comfortable period.
Newborn sessions are best to be booked within the first few weeks from birth (this is achieved with priority window booking) though we can photograph newborns up to 4 months. (Premature babies are an exception as they are smaller and may have had an extended stay in the NICU)
