Preparing for your session
Mom, I just want to encourage you and remind you that you have absolutely nothing to stress over.
These details were specifically created to help walk you through your custom photography experience leading up to your session with little to stress or think about - allowing you to enjoy this time together! I photograph maternity portraits with an eye for classic and timeless style. Pregnancy is such a unique and life changing season in so many ways. My goal is to create the iconic images that tell a part of that very story. 
For mama
If you had a wardrobe and styling try-on with me I will have the wardrobe selection ready to go.
I know how difficult it can be to find clothes you are comfortable in postpartum which is why during the session you have access to my client wardrobe full of beautiful, flattering neutral dresses from XS-3XL
If you would like to use your own dress here are a few of my favorite shops:
Pink Blush Maternity
Fillyboo
Free People
Asos
Morning Lavender
Vici Dolls
*The camera loves shades creamy neutrals, soft pinks & muted blues.
For Dad
If you had a styling appointment with me, then you already have an idea of what you will wear for your newborn session, too.
Most guys will wear shades of cream, grey or light blue in a button up, sweater or henley paired with khakis, chinos or light grey pants. Avoid prints or stripes because it doesn’t always photograph well.
Quick tip: Avoid distractions - Leave your wallet, phone and keys in her purse. We don’t want to photoshop your pockets later!
Hair and Makeup
Professional hair and makeup looks amazing and removes the stress of getting ready on your own. Hair and makeup will give you an extra boost of confidence in front of the camera and it always photographs beautifully. PLUS it’s included in each signature session. Just show up and be pampered and taken care of!
Whether you are desiring a look that is completely natural, or a bit fancier than your usual, our artists know what they are doing. Many of my clients wear minimal makeup in their day to day, and are always incredibly pleased with their decision to trust a professional for their session day. Feel free to bring any photos for inspiration you want to show her!
What to expect
Often on location we need to walk a short distance to where we will actually be photographing so bring comfortable walking shoes. You can always slip on your heels/wedges or other shoes of choice when we start taking pictures. Otherwise shoes aren’t necessary in the studio.
A tote bag that is easy to carry. We are often far away from the car, and a tote bag with all that you will need for the session will save you a trip!
A bottle of water, and a “Just in Case” snack.
When to expect your images?
During your design appointment (2-3 weeks after the session) we will review artwork, album & digitals.
Once your artwork is ready we will schedule a day to come out and install it for you! That’s it!
