Maternity Photography FAQs
When is the best time to schedule maternity photos?
28-34 weeks is ideal. Your bump is beautifully visible and you're still comfortable. Book 4-6 weeks in advance to secure your date.
What should I wear? Do you provide outfits?
You're welcome to bring your own clothing - we encourage it! But if you don't have access to something special, we've got you covered. We provide tulle maternity robes with dramatic ruffle trains, and we customize the color in post-production to any shade you want - emerald, burgundy, blush, gold, you name it!
Can my partner and kids join the session?
Absolutely! Partners, children, and pets are welcome. We'll capture both solo portraits and intimate family moments.
What's the difference between studio and on-location sessions?
Studio sessions ($750) offer controlled lighting, climate comfort, and wardrobe access. On-location sessions ($900) feature natural light and scenic Hampton Roads backdrops like beaches or gardens.
Do you offer videography?
Yes! We create cinematic maternity films to complement your photography session. Ask about adding video to your package.
How long until I receive my photos?
10 days after making your selections, your private online gallery will be ready with 15 edited images (11 advanced + 4 composites) available for download.
