FAQ
How soon should I book a maternity session?
Ideally, maternity shoots are best captured when you can see a bit of the baby bump enough to photograph. Usually 28-32 weeks/7-8 months most mothers are showing, still glowing, past the tough first trimester and within a safe delivery time zone. If you are expecting twins, come a bit earlier around 26-30 weeks as twins tend to arrive earlier.
Self-Care
In general, you photograph better when you are well rested and hydrated. Thats one under-rated rule of thumb that I cannot emphasize on. Sleep well! Secondly, because we are literally creating images it goes without saying that you must look your best! Hairstyling, Make-Up, and don't forget to manicure and pedicure. Hands and feet are also a huge element in maternity shoots. Moisturize your skin, knees, elbows, feet.
