Maternity Session Info
PREPARATION:
If you want photographs of your belly, don't forget to moisturize it before the shoot! Sometimes, these shots are best done first, since your clothing has not had time to make tiny imprints on your skin yet.
PROPS:
Bring anything and everything that you think you may want to use! Tiny shoes, ultrasound pictures, color-coordinated balloons, something to spell out the baby's name, etc.
CLOTHING:
Ladies, don't hide the bump! You are pregnant, work it! That little baby in there is what we are here to photograph, so pick clothes that you feel comfortable and beautiful in and make sure they showcase the belly.
Long, flawy skirts or dresses work nicely to show off the baby bump. Try to stick to solid colors or subtle prints.

YOUR PARTNER:
Many women wonder if they should do the shoot solo or bring their significant other along. To this, my answer is- bring him! We can still do plenty of shots of you alone, but having him there to help you out by holding things and throwing out an encouraging phrase or two always makes the shoot better. Photos of the both of you and the chemistry you have together speak volumes about the life you have and the one you are both preparing to bring into this world.
