YOUR MATERNITY INFO
One of Hudson Valley's premiere maternity photographers: Each session is a highly personal and an extraordinary reflection of your pregnancy! Celebrate your baby (and your body) with beautiful, creative maternity portraits that you can cherish for years to come!

Schedule your appointment for when you are at your best belly shape, usually between the 6-8 months (or after 28 weeks). I advice against portraiture during the last months of pregnancy because, more than likely, you'll start feeling the drain of pregnancy and portraits should be a relaxing and calming experience! Every session is personalized for you...every person's comfort level with their body is different so don't feel pressured to emulate a certain photo or style, we will do what you feel is reflective of you!

Wear what you are most comfortable in but make sure your outfit highlights and enhances your baby shape. Loose clothing tends to hide the belly. Stretchy spandex type of material not only accentuates your beautiful body but it also allows you to move freely and comfortably. (please scroll down for more)

I do have tulle fabric in powder blue, soft pink and a buttery yellow. Flowing fabrics like a silk scarf or organza sheer are not normally provided but I will bring all the materials I have on hand to the session.

Tube tops and plain bottoms are not provided by the studio.

If you will be showing your bare belly or going nude/semi-nude, make sure what you are wearing is not constricting in anyway to cause indentations in your skin. My best advice is to wear a robe or keep belly bare before I arrive.

I encourage you to enjoy your body and shape, however nudity is not a requirement! Do what you feel most comfortable doing, I will never force you into something that uneases you!

Husbands, other children, significant others are all encouraged to join in the session.

We can mix the session with indoor studio and outdoor location shots if you'd like.

Have any keepsakes or special memories on hand if you'd like these included in your session.

And lastly, relax! Maternity portraits are such a special keepsake of the life growing inside of you. I work to get to know you so that I can personalize your session.
