Maternity Inquiries
Congratulations on your growing family! I would love to capture the moments of your pregnancy!
You may be wondering when do you schedule your maternity session? I recommend to reach out to me for your initial inquiry to schedule your session while you are in your second trimester of pregnancy (typically between your 14th and 26th week of pregnancy). From there, I will recommend that we photograph your actual session while you are between 28-35 weeks along. For safety purposes, I do not typically recommend doing your photoshoot past 36 weeks of pregnancy.
For all of my maternity sessions, you will have full access to my client closet once your session is booked. From there, you will get to pick your top 4 favorite gowns and if you are in a 15 mile radius of my 76017 area code, I will deliver those dresses to your home for you to try on one week prior to your session. From there, you will choose your top 2 favorite dresses to wear for your session. If you live outside of the 15 mile radius, I will simply bring the dresses with me to your session and we will meet a little bit earlier for you to try on the dresses.
I offer over 50 maternity dresses in all different styles, colors and sizes!
Spouses, children and fur babies and more than welcome and highly encouraged to attend these sessions!

For all sessions, I do require a 50% non refundable retainer fee to secure your appointment and the remaining balance is due one week prior to your session. For all bundles, your remaining balance will be due one week prior to your newborn session.
For indoor studio sessions, I recommend doing those in the late mornings/early afternoon when the sun is at its highest for the best natural light in the studio.
For newborn sessions, I request that you let me know within the first 24-48 hours that the baby is born so that we can make sure our schedules line up accordingly to do the session. I recommend doing the session within the first 2 weeks that the baby is born and before noon because that is the best time for baby to be content and sleepy. I typically do theses sessions on weekday mornings.
For my style of newborn sessions it is an at home lifestyle session. Meaning, I do not have the props and pose the babies like you see in a lot of newborns. My style is at home with mom, dad and siblings enjoying the early days at home with their new baby. Photos are taken in the baby's nursery, parents room or the living room. I like to try to do 2 out of the 3 rooms. Being a mom myself, I understand the struggle to keep every room clean lol. I offer a variety of baby swaddles in girl, boy and neutral tones as well as a baby moses basket for additional photos. You are more than welcome to have baby in whatever outfit that you would like but I can definitely swaddle them for you if you'd like as well.
All maternity galleries will have a minimum of at least 50 edited and downloadable images that will all be available for you in a private online gallery. My turnaround time for galleries is 3-4 weeks but I do offer expedited gallery options as well as sneak peek options if you are wanting your gallery sooner.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know in the message section of your inquiry!
I cannot wait to hear from you!
