Pregnancy And Parenthood

Celebrate your pregnancy or being a new mother. It’s a special time in your life, and you deserve to preserve it’s memory!

I specialize in women’s photoshoots because women feel strong and powerful when they allow themselves to be celebrated! Moreover, pregnancy is such a precious time in your and your partner’s life and I would like to help you create some beautiful memories!

Preparation For Your Shoot (before your shoot)

I know having a baby is an exciting time and no one thinks about maternity photos to being with. However, we book quickly and timing is everything so please call at least two months in advance to book. We require full payment for your session in advance, starting with a $300 deposit. I will make sure that the location, styling, and wardrobe fit with your personality and desires. In addition, my price includes a full makeover on the day of the shoot.

Shoot Schedule

We include a full 90 min makeover with all out sessions and then we proceed with the shoot. Studio maternity sessions start at 9am. If going outside, the golden hour is desirable for beach or gardens so most likely we will start your session in the afternoon. We often find that morning sessions are equally perfect on the coast for forest locations.

Locations

Our studio is in Half Moon Bay, CA. I am able to create glamorous maternity portraits both in the studio as well as outdoors. We have lovely beaches and forests minutes from our studio. Other options are Filoli Gardens, Stanford or San Francisco. Investment below is for outdoor maternity sessions only. Please contact me using the form here for maternity boudoir sessions.

Timing

The best time for you to do a photoshoot is between weeks 30-36 (30-32 being the most desirable). Please contact me a 6-8 weeks before this period to ensure availability!

Wardrobe

I have some limited number of robes and dresses in studio that I can provide at no extra charge. For different looks, I ask for $70/dress including shipping and handing or $120 for 2 dresses.

Investment

Each client receives a custom photography experience. If you choose to do a maternity or motherhood studio shoot, you will be pampered with a makeover and I will take extra care to provide you with a feel good, empowering experience!

Clients may have access to my client closet however I need sufficient notice in order to procure different looks for you. I will give you full access to available dresses once you book.

Full editing/retouching is different than color correction. Full editing means small blemishes are removed, fly away hair is removed, skin discoloration is adjusted, undesired objects removed and other adjustments to create the high quality look you see in our images. The images I show at image review have only minor adjustment of light and color.
