The Bump: Maternity Photo Shoot

It’s time to capture and document this special time when this teeny little new life is forming inside you.

The best time to schedule a maternity photo shoot is when the belly is large, but not in the “Oh my, I think the baby is coming!” stage! This is typically done between months 7 and 8, when you are comfortable enough to get out pose for the photographs.

The clothes that you wear during your session will play a vital role in how you feel during the shoot and about your photographs. We really want to show off your beautiful form, so choose a few outfits that accentuate your beautiful body! I love form fitting crop tops, and long flowing maxi dresses. You can choose your favorite maternity outfit, but solid colors work best. As far as specific colors, it is completely up to you.

Depending on the style you are going for, some of the gowns shown on my site are from Sew Trendy Accessories and Etsy.com. May I suggest this? Absolutely!

The most important thing is that you feel comfortable, confident and beautiful. Pamper Yourself, Because You Deserve It

I would suggest pampering yourself before your session. Get your hair and nails done or take a relaxing bubble bath. Put aside a few hours for yourself to just relax and feel fabulous. The best photographs are created when expectant mothers are relaxed, feel confidant, and are able to just be themselves during the session. This day will be special and fun for you.

I offer maternity sessions either at my studio, in the comfort of your own home or a special location of your choice. This session typically lasts about an hour or two.

Belly Cast with a Mini Photo Session

I feel huge! Let’s cast that Baby Bump!

This is a great way to look back after you deliver your little miracle and remember what you have carried for 9 months! The cast can be used for your newborn session and also as a art piece to be displayed on the wall.

Teeny Beanies: Newborn Photo Shoot

Love at First Sight

Newborn sessions typically last anywhere from 2–3.5 hours and are for infants less than ten days old. These sessions are either in the comfort of your own home or at my studio. I often book several weeks in advance, so it’s vital to photograph newborns between 5–10 days of birth. Babies more than two weeks old will have grown considerably since birth. Not only will they be losing the “newborn look,” they become much more reactive to “posing” and less calm during the session.

I will provide props for you like hats, blankets and materials. Feel free to bring any little hats for your newborn that you may want the baby to be photographed in. If you would like to bring your own props, you are welcome to do so! I always tell my clients to go on Etsy.com. They have so many beautiful things for newborns to be photographed in.

Be sure to bring an extra outfit change or two (it’s almost impossible to avoid teeny accidents with a newborn), extra wet wipes and diapers.

When considering Teeny Beanie Photography, please inquire in advance of your desired date. The best time to contact me for a newborn session is before you have your baby, so we can schedule a time around your due date. Once your bundle of joy arrives, we will figure out the best time to schedule your session.
