Pregnancy is such a special time as a new life is nurtured within your body. Celebrate this miracle of new life with an intimate portrait honoring you and your baby. Maternity portraits are wonderful keepsakes that you and your family can cherish forever and this is the ideal time to document your relationship with your partner or growing family.

Some suggested items to bring with you

• Solid colored button down shirts or sweaters to expose the belly. Avoid patterns, stripes and plaids unless they are truly a big part of your identity.
• Skirts that go below the belly are great.
• Pants can be black stretch pants or pre-maternity blue jeans that can be unbuttoned or we can tuck in the band of your maternity pants.
• Tank Tops with built in bras.
• Soft flowing fabrics can enhance your belly.
• Jewelry is a great accessory.
• If other family members are to be included in the portraits, please consider similar outfits in the same tonal ranges.
• Don't forget any meaningful props, such as your ultrasound photo or items from the nursery, such as booties, stuffed bears, etc.

Tips for a successful session

• Portraits are usually created anywhere from 32-38 weeks or whenever you have a nice round belly and are still comfortable in the last few weeks.
• Allow one to two hours for you portrait session so you can feel relaxed and unhurried.
• Get plenty of rest the night before.
• Don't worry about stretch marks or blemishes as the finished portraits always include retouching.
• Above all, relax and enjoy the photo session. This is a wonderful time in your life!
