FAQ
When is the best time to schedule a maternity session?
Plan to have your maternity portrait session scheduled when you are 28 - 34 weeks along. The beginning of your third trimester is the ideal time. Your belly will be showing beautifully, and you haven't quite hit the uncomfortable stage yet, or hopefully haven't! This way we also have time to reschedule due to various factors. Booking ahead will help ensure availability during the best time frame for showing off your pregnancy. If you are nearing your pregnancy's end and have yet to book your shoot, I may have last-minute availability. Please don't feel you are too late if this is the case.
Can I bring my partner/kids to session?
Absolutely! Our maternity photography session can include your other children, partner, and furry friends.
Do you offer studio space, or just shoot outdoor?
I am excited to share my cozy studio located in the center of Schaumburg, with plenty of free parking, as well as outdoor or lifestyle sessions in the comfort of your own home.
Do you provide some maternity clothes?
I offer a complimentary client wardrobe with some maternity dresses and outfits, especially for studio sessions, but you are always welcome to bring your favorite pair of jeans, etc!
I will also send you my maternity guide to help you prepare for our session together. This will include recommendations and suggestions for outfit options.
Should I have my makeup/hair professionally done?
I highly recommend that! Plus…camera loves it! You will also feel more confident and beautiful during our shoot. I am happy to recommend great MUA/hair stylists for you.
