Can I Incorporate My Husband and (or) My Other Children Into My Maternity Session?

Yes of course! However, with fine art maternity sessions, they solely focus on the task at hand; expectant moms. Since the digital count for indoor sessions is a lot less than outdoor and lifestyle, your significant other will only be in 2-3 photos. If you would like them to be more involved in the posing aspect, I would recommend the outdoor or studio lifestyle session, where you can maximize every single pose with different looks and angles.

Is Hair & Makeup Included In The Pricing? Do You Have Any Hair & Makeup Artist Recommendations?

Professional hair and makeup are not included in the collection price, but I’m happy to recommend Andreina, a highly experienced artist based in Rockwall who specializes in makeup designed specifically for camera and studio lighting. Makeup can photograph very differently than it appears in person, and she understands exactly how to balance application for my lighting setups to ensure a flawless result on camera. If you’d like to include her services, just let me know when you inquire—I’ll coordinate everything once we’ve selected your session dates. She will be available at the studio on the day of your session for an additional travel fee. Please note her availability is limited to weekdays. I also have a trusted hair and makeup artist in Plano if needed.

Slide 1

Can I Schedule a Consultation Prior To Booking?

Yes, of course! A maternity photoshoot consultation is key to creating a stress-free, meaningful, and personalized experience. It allows us to connect and bring your vision to life by discussing wardrobe options, ideal timing, and the perfect location. This thoughtful planning ensures you feel completely at ease and confident every step of the way. Together, we’ll craft a seamless experience so that, on the day of your session, all you need to do is relax, embrace the moment, and celebrate this beautiful chapter in your life.

Slide 1

When Is The Best Time to Schedule My Maternity Session & Will You Help Me Find a Location? Where Is Your Studio Located?

Maternity sessions are ideally scheduled between 28–35 weeks of pregnancy, though timing may vary depending on when your baby bump is most defined. I recommend booking once you feel confidently showing. A curated list of outdoor locations in Dallas, Richardson, Plano, Rockwall, and surrounding areas will be emailed to you upon inquiry. Fine art maternity sessions are also available in my private home studio, located at 4014 Dalton Dr., Rowlett, TX. This custom-designed space is fully equipped for a luxury maternity experience and features an extensive collection of couture designer gowns and accessories, all included in your collection price.

Slide 1

Do You Specialize in Comprehensive Maternity Photography Editing? Is This Something I Should Take Into Consideration While Shopping For A Maternity Photographer?

There’s far more to professional photography than price alone. Maternity photography is an art form that requires skill, intention, and experience. I believe in delivering a carefully curated collection of beautifully polished images—photographs where you look and feel your absolute best—rather than an overwhelming number of unrefined shots. As a dedicated Dallas maternity photographer, thoughtful, detailed editing is a vital part of my process. Each image is meticulously refined to enhance natural beauty, preserve authenticity, and highlight the quiet magic of this season. The result is a timeless collection that celebrates your pregnancy with elegance, emotion, and lasting meaning.

Slide 1

What Time Of Day Do You Schedule Maternity Sessions & Do You Offer Weekends Appointments?

Outdoor maternity sessions are intentionally scheduled to capture the most flattering light of the day. During spring and summer, sessions begin between 7:00–7:30 PM, while fall and winter sessions take place between 3:30–4:00 PM, aligning with golden hour for a soft, luminous glow. While summer heat and humidity are common concerns, they’re never an issue. I carefully monitor every detail throughout your session, ensuring your gown and hair remain flawless, and any warmth can even enhance a natural, radiant glow during post-processing. As I photograph weddings full time, maternity sessions—both outdoor and studio—are scheduled on weekdays only, Monday through Friday. Studio sessions are available between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM.

Slide 1

Why Do You Only Deliver the Said Amount of Digitals? What Is The Cost For Additional Files?

Maternity photography is unlike any traditional form of photography. It requires a thoughtful, gentle approach and a refined skill set to pose and photograph expectant mothers in a way that feels both natural and artistic. While some photographers may offer a high volume of images, I focus on creating a carefully curated collection of clean, polished, fine-art portraits that truly capture your radiant essence. Every image is intentionally composed to ensure you feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful throughout your session. Fine art maternity photography also involves extensive, detail-driven post-processing, which is why additional fully edited images are available for purchase at $150 per file.

Slide 1

How Do I Book My Maternity Photoshoot With You?

Once you’re ready to move forward and select your collection, I’ll secure your session date, prepare your contract, and send a PayPal invoice for the $35 non-refundable retainer. This retainer is applied toward your total balance, with the remaining amount due the day before your session. All collections are subject to an 8.25% Texas sales tax. Payments are accepted via Zelle, Apple Pay, Venmo, Cash App, and PayPal. Each maternity collection includes my time, creative direction, session design, and detailed professional editing. Upon completion, you’ll receive a private high-resolution online gallery containing your selected digital images.

I'm a Bit Anxious About The Whole Process! How Do You Make Clients Feel Comfortable In Front Of The Camera?

Absolutely. Feeling nervous before a maternity session is completely normal—most clients aren’t photographed professionally very often. There’s no need to worry. With years of experience, I arrive already envisioning your session from start to finish, including posing, lighting, and flattering angles. Creating a calm, supportive atmosphere is just as important as the technical details. From our first conversation, I focus on building a genuine connection and encouraging open communication about your comfort level and expectations. During your session, I gently guide you while allowing natural moments to unfold, so you feel confident, relaxed, and beautifully yourself. Soft music, encouragement, and thoughtful direction help ease any self-consciousness and bring out your natural glow.To further put your mind at ease, I’m happy to schedule a consultation prior to booking. After your session is confirmed, you’ll also receive a detailed maternity session prep guide covering everything from hair, makeup, and skin prep to wardrobe, gowns, accessories, and more—so you feel fully prepared and confident going into your experience.

Slide 1

Do You Offer Maternity Gowns & How Many Outfit Changes Am I Allowed?

Yes, I do. I offer a curated collection of designer couture and casual maternity gowns for client use at no additional cost. Casual gowns are crafted from stretchy, forgiving fabrics and comfortably fit sizes 6–14, while couture gowns are available in sizes 10–14 and are expertly clipped for a seamless, flattering fit. Outdoor maternity sessions include one couture gown. If you’d like to add an additional studio gown, a $150 fee will be applied. Clients who wish to incorporate their own outfit alongside a studio gown may do so for an additional $35. Because outdoor sessions are scheduled just before sunset, time is limited and a maximum of two outfit changes is permitted. Keeping wardrobe selections simple allows for a smoother, more relaxed experience and ensures we fully take advantage of the beautiful natural light.

Slide 1

Do You Provide Props For Maternity Sessions?

I do not provide props for outdoor maternity sessions. Props, are only used for in-studio newborn sessions. However, I’d recommend bringing a sonogram and (or) baby shoes to incorporate into your session. Your maternity session prep guide will discuss in detail, what props options you can incorporate. For lifestyle maternity photography, only sitting props are provides, such as stools or cube boxes.

Slide 1

Choosing Between Fine Art Maternity, Outdoor or Lifestyle?

The beauty of pregnancy shines in any setting, whether photographed in studio or outdoors. Outdoor maternity sessions, especially during golden hour just before sunset, offer soft, romantic light with a timeless, natural feel. Studio sessions provide a more polished, high-end look within a controlled and private environment—ideal for clients who prefer comfort, privacy, semi-nude imagery, or flexibility due to weather, scheduling, or high-risk pregnancies. Studio sessions can be scheduled at any time and offer a relaxed, intimate experience that keeps the focus solely on the beauty of your pregnancy. Fine art maternity photography emphasizes elegance and intentional posing, while lifestyle maternity photography feels more organic and effortless. My style blends both, using clean backdrops and thoughtful direction to create timeless, refined images that feel authentic, meaningful, and deeply personal.

Slide 1

After My Session, Who Chooses The Final Image Count?

Within one week of your session, I will carefully curate and select my favorite images to create your private online proofing gallery. From this gallery, you’ll choose which images you’d like fully edited and delivered. Please note that the proofing gallery includes only images that meet my artistic and quality standards—you will not receive every photo taken. I intentionally overshoot poses, angles, and expressions to ensure there are plenty of beautiful options to choose from, allowing me to present a refined, thoughtfully curated selection rather than an overwhelming volume of images.

Slide 1

What Is The Turnaround On The Files?

Final digital images are delivered within four weeks of your maternity session. Once post-processing is complete, your fully edited images will be uploaded to a private online gallery, and you’ll be notified via email and text. From the gallery, you can download your high-resolution, non-watermarked images directly to your computer and will receive a PDF of your print release and usage rights. You’re welcome to share the gallery with family and friends. The gallery also offers professional print ordering directly through the lab, with prints starting at $15 and delivered within approximately two weeks of purchase.

Slide 1

Can I Incorporate My Husband & Children Into My Maternity Session?

Yes, absolutely. For fine art maternity sessions, the primary focus is solely on the expectant mother. Because these sessions include a smaller number of final images compared to outdoor or lifestyle sessions, your partner will be included in approximately 2–3 images. If you’d prefer your significant other to be more involved throughout the session, I recommend choosing an outdoor or studio lifestyle maternity session. These sessions allow for greater flexibility, multiple looks, and a wider variety of poses and interactions.

Slide 1

Do You Offer Belly to Baby Combo Collection?

Yes, I do. When you book both a maternity session and a mini newborn session, family and sibling photos are included at no additional cost, adding approximately 6–8 digital images to your newborn collection. Clients who book a full newborn session will receive a $150 discount, while studio lifestyle newborn sessions receive a $50 discount. Please note, discounts apply to the newborn session only and are not applied to the maternity collection.
