FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

MATERNITY

When is the best time to schedule a maternity session?

Maternity sessions are typically best scheduled between 28–34 weeks of pregnancy. During this time, the baby bump is beautifully rounded while comfort and mobility are still manageable.

Where do sessions take place?

We can shoot in the comfort of your own home or venture into the beautiful outdoors around Surrey—fields, woods, parks—wherever feels like “you.”

What’s the best time of day for a session?

I recommend aiming for early morning or late afternoon, when the light is soft and golden.

Can my partner or children join in?

Of course! Partners and siblings are always welcome to be part of the session. Including loved ones helps tell a fuller story of this special time.

What should I wear for the session?

Neutral and soft tones photograph beautifully and keep the focus on faces and emotions. Avoid bold patterns, neon colors, or large logos. Flowing dresses or fitted gowns that accentuate the bump work well.

I’ll chat with you before the session to help pick outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable.

I’m a little shy in front of the camera — is that okay?

Totally normal! I’ll make sure you feel at ease with a calm, friendly approach so your natural beauty and emotions come through effortlessly.

What to expect on a session?

We’ll start with a chat, ease into the session, and base everything around what feels natural for you. I’ll offer gentle direction—angles, prompts, little activities—while letting true interactions shine.

Can I bring special items or props?

Absolutely! If there’s something meaningful to you, like a tiny pair of shoes or a special blanket, bring it along and we’ll include it naturally in your photos.

How long does a typical session last?

Maternity sessions last as they set out in the package you purchased. Children’s sessions typically around 60 minutes, depending on age and engagement.

When will the photos be ready?

Final, edited images are typically delivered within 2–3 weeks via a private online gallery for downloading.

Are prints or albums available?

Yes. A selection of professional-quality prints, framed artwork, can be ordered upon request.

Do you share your images on your website or other social media platforms?

I love sharing beautiful sessions to inspire other families—but it's completely optional. If you'd prefer your photos stay private, just let me know and I’ll respect that completely.

How far in advance should a session be booked?

Booking 4–6 weeks in advance is recommended, especially during peak seasons such as spring and fall. Short-notice availability may be possible depending on the schedule.

How do I book?
