Maternity
Congratulations on this new little life you are bringing into this world! Only you can bring them here and I want to celebrate that with you! Pregnancy doesn't always feel glamorous--so let's take a moment and make it feel as miraculous as it is!
I loved being pregnant; however, I know some Mommas don’t - and believe me, there were days that I wasn’t thrilled either. However, for nine short months, it’s a special time for just you and baby. Regardless of how you feel, do yourself a favor and take the photo! Maternity is powerful and transformative, and the absolute epitome of femininity. When people say you’re glowing,--it is literal! You were made for this. You are gorgeous and powerful and I cannot wait to show you what the rest of us see!
It’s best to take maternity photos between 30-36 weeks, but can shoot up until delivery.
I have a plethora of maternity gowns and chiffon covers in the maternity wardrobe that you're welcome to wear. However, if you feel like splurging and doing a little shopping, you can also bring a dress or outfit. If you choose to bring a few things, I recommend bringing both flowy dresses and form-fitting dresses that showcase your baby bump! It's best to add variety to your gallery by choosing something neutral and also a dress or gown that offers some color.
Yes! In fact, that is what most expectant moms choose to do! Half of the maternity session is at the studio in downtown Sun Prairie, WI, and the other half is outdoor maternity photos. The best time of day for outdoor is at golden hour at sunset.
Many of my clients choose to add on hair and makeup services to their session. I work with a couple of really wonderful artists who come to my studio frequently to take care of my clients. I have left this as an optional add on in case you have an artist you already love… in which case you would come to your session with hair and makeup ready.
You do not need to know how to pose! It is my job to capture your beautiful figure with the most flattering angles and light. I direct and demonstrate throughout the entire shoot!
Once we have confirmed I am available, I will send you a Client agreement to sign. Additionally, a $50 retainer is required to secure your date on the calendar.
