HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR MATERNITY SESSION

• Wear a set of white lingerie (make sure they are not maternity bras as they do not look nice in photos). The majority of my dresses are white or pastel coloured. If you do not have a white set, a nude set is also fine.
  
• Make-up should be classic and clean. However, your foundation can be quite thick as these photographs well and helps me to smooth out your skin in post-processing.
  
• Hair the same – loose is best. Have your hair either straightened or curled/waved depending on your style.
  
• If you wish to have professional hair/makeup done, I can provide a few suggestions but you’ll need to arrange for that yourself.

WHAT TO BRING

• One set of black lingerie
• One set of white lingerie (make sure they are not maternity bras as they do not look nice in photos)
• If you do not have white lingerie set, nude colour can also work.
• I have over 20 beautiful maternity dresses & gowns. However, if you do not like my dresses, you’re also welcome to bring your own fitted dresses.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE SESSION

• Your maternity session will be super relaxed and fun.
• I’ll show you a few options for my recommended dresses for you and you will get changed in my bathroom.
• If there is a particular dress you saw on my website that you liked, please let me know before your session and I will have it ready for you.
• During the session, I will give you plenty of direction on how to pose to get the best angles. I guarantee you will look and feel like a pregnant goddess.

WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER THE SESSION

• Your gallery will be edited artistically to match my style of photography and presented to you as an online gallery approximately one week later. It will come with instructions on how to download both high resolution files for printing and web resolution files for sharing.
• Please note that I do not do excessive photoshop editing as I believe in natural and authentic photographs. If you feel like you may need additional photoshop to achieve the outcome you want, please have a chat with me first.

WHAT TO WEAR – FAMILY PHOTOS

• For your partner – try to coordinate with each other but not matchy matchy. Plain T-shirts in solid colours such as grey, black or white. Please avoid any logos and/or patterns & stripes etc. Jean’s, Slacks and soft fabrics look good on him too. 
• For the boys – Jeans or Jean Shorts and a plain top or shirt (without patterns or logos
• For the girls – A nice dress or I have limited dresses for girls 2- 6 years of age. Make sure their eyes, nose, finger and toenails are clean and groomed.

PROPS & SPECIAL REQUEST PHOTOS

My maternity session is focused on your bump and your beautiful glow. I do not use many props as it takes away from the focus – YOU. However, if you do wish you bring some little props such as your ultrasound scans, your baby’s first shoes etc, I can artistically implement into some of the images.
