For your Maternity Session
When's the best time to shoot a maternity session?
The best time to shoot is week 30-34 of your pregnancy; we want to see that cute little bump! If you're expecting 2+, best to shoot a little earlier (month 6 or 7.)
How long do maternity sessions last?
Maternity sessions take about 1-1.5 hours in total. This includes the time to choose wardrobe, and change outfits.
What should I wear? Do you offer a client wardrobe?
Yes! I have about 50+ dresses, that are handpicked and work beautifully for your maternity session! These dresses work with the style and light of my style of photography. You may also wear a dress you purchase or rent yourself, but please note that I will provide suggestions of color and style as the clothing you choose to wear for your session will make a difference in the final product!
Can my husband/family join?
Absolutely!
What should they wear?
An e-mail with wardrobe suggestions for what family members will be sent after booking - and about 1 month before the session to ensure enough time to gather clothing for the session!
Where do maternity sessions take place?
Maternity Sessions will take place at my natural light studio in Uptown Hoboken, New Jersey. Click here to see more about the studio!

What about hair and make-up?
Investing in hair and makeup is suggested but not mandatory! Whether you choose to hire an artist or do yourself, I ask that hair and make-up be ready and done by the time we start the session. At the moment, I do not have a preferred hair and makeup artist. Your hands will more than likely be in a lot of shots, so please come with any chipped nails removed, or manicured hands.
Is there parking available at the studio?
There is only street parking, but usually always available! If you cannot find street parking, there is a parking garage connected to Trader Joe’s which is a 5 minute walk away.
When will we get to see our pictures from a session?
Your 45+ edited, watermarked images from your session will be presented in a private online gallery approximately 3 weeks after your session date. They will be ready for viewing and purchasing of a collection. You can choose which digital collection you want after seeing your gallery.
Can we purchase print products?
Yes! After purchasing digital images, you’ll have the option to purchase prints through my trusted photo lab (You will be able to print the images you have purchased.) I highly recommend this as the colors are consistent, and quality is flawless. You can see and compare examples during your session. If you’d like to print on your own, I can offer suggestions to some of the better consumer labs!
Do you offer any packages or discounts?
Yes! I offer a membership program which will cover 3 shoots, over the course of 18 months. While I allow this to be any three types of images, the most popular are Maternity, Newborn & Sitter/1 Year Milestone Session!
