THE BIG DAY
BEFORE YOUR SESSION
The day of your Maternity shoot has arrived and we hope you’ve had a great night’s sleep and
are feeling well rested! We recommend you have a relaxing day before your session and not
rush around too much. Why not go out and get a manicure and have your hair blow-‐dried at
your favourite salon! If you’re feeling a little tired and achey at this point in your pregnancy why
not book in advance to get a fabulous pre-‐natal massage on your session day to ease away
those aches and pains!
If we are photographing at a beach or park please arrive at the location on time as shoots are
scheduled around the best time of day for flattering lighting and we don’t want to miss any of it!
Also don’t forget to bring along your extra change of clothes for some variety in your images!
We’ll take a little break and find a bathroom for you to get changed in when it’s time for a
wardrobe change.
If we are photographing the session in your home it’s great if the spaces we are likely to shoot in
are decluttered. The rooms I shoot in will depend on where the best light is but these are usually
the living areas, master bedroom and even baby’s nursery if it’s ready. I will often move a few
things around in these rooms to create the right look for your photos, but I will put everything
back before I leave and won’t move anything without asking first.
DURING YOUR SESSION
My goal for the session is to get to know you and your partner and capture your relationship and
excitement for your new baby! Direction will be given in order to showcase your gorgeous bump
but I will also be capturing the sweet ‘in-‐between’ moments when you and your partner are just
enjoying each other‘s company or giggling about the things I am asking you to do!
Maternity sessions are so much fun and all I ask is that you trust in me and we are sure to
capture some amazing images for you to treasure forever.
IT’S A WRAP!
At the completion of our session you will probably be feeling a little tired! Posing can be hard work
when you’re eight months pregnant! Now you can relax, put those feet up and look forward to
receiving your images in three weeks time!
