CHARLOTTE MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHY
Your baby may not be hearthside yet, but your story together has already begun. Maybe this season has been one of the most joyous times for you, maybe it’s felt magical, surreal, perfect. Or, maybe it’s been hard, maybe you had to fight to be here, or maybe you don’t quite feel that “glow” everyone talks about. No matter where you are at or what you’re feeling, your pregnancy is a journey worth remembering. One day you and your child will get to look back at these photos and you can share all the emotions you were feeling that led to their arrival.

DETAILS + PACKAGES
-
First, get in touch with me!
Next, we’ll go over your vision (or if you need a vision, I’ll help you dream something up!) We can chat about outdoor locations if that’s your vibe, or we can go over studio options! If you need help coordinating outfits or tips on highlighting the bump, I can send you a style guide and answer all your clothing questions!
Then the fun part! We’ll meet up at whatever location you decided on and I’ll give you different prompts (and poses if you’re wanting a little extra guidance) so that you never feel that “AH! I don’t know what to do!” feeling (trust me, I get it, I feel SO uncomfy in front of the lens). You don’t need to think about what to do when you get there, just be yourself and have a blast! Lifestyle sessions are all about the moment. I focus on movement and candid moments, don’t worry, it’ll feel natural!
Finally, the best part! In the next 48 hours, you’ll get a sneak peek! And within 2 weeks, you’ll get your full gallery! You’ll have access to your photos through your own private online gallery as well as full print release rights.

In your home or in the great outdoors, it’s up to you! Don’t worry if you’re “awkward” in front of the camera (spoiler… you’re not!), I let these sessions flow organically. These aren’t meant for posing like a model, they’re to remember these sweet moments full of anticipation.
INCLUDED:
1 hour at location of your choice
50 high resolution hand edited images
Print release

FAQs
-
Totally up to you and your preference! I have a long list of outdoor locations from lakes to fields to greenhouses, or we can do it in doors as an in home session or a studio session!
note: with studio sessions, there may be a small additional rental fee
-
Absolutely, yes! If solo shots are your vibe (or if you have a husband who says heck no to being photographed), that’s totally fine! But if you want it to be a family affair, the more the merrier!
-
Want to go all out in a poofy tulle dress? Now’s your chance! Ripped mom jeans and a Calvin Klein sports bra? Let’s do it! Is your favorite floral dress more your vibe? Perfect! Whatever you feel comfortable and confident in is the right outfit! If you need guidance though, I am more than happy to send over a maternity session style guide and chat outfits with you! Just let me know!
-
I like to give up to an hour for photos, that way we have plenty of time to get you feeling comfortable and care free behind the lens and still get a solid amount of time to provide a plethora of photos for you! You’ll find more about the session details above, but it includes the hour at your location choice, a minimum of 50 images (though truthfully I always end up delivering like 75+), and a print release so that you can get your photos printed everywhere and anywhere!
-
I’ve done maternity sessions as early as 20 weeks and as late as 37, although I typically advise doing them between 32-36 weeks into your pregnancy. This window is typically a good sweet spot where you’re rocking that cutie bump while also not being too far into your pregnancy where you might start feeling uncomfortable (or surprised by an early arrival!)
